BUT you’ve still got multiple labels at each label point - in fact you have two separate label tracks which may also be confusing Audacity.
Now that you have your properly labelled track under the music track - just delete the label track with the multiple labels that is above the music track. Do this by clicking in the little X at the top left hand corner of the label track. THEN try the Export Multiple again.
If for some strange reason you want to keep the old multi-label label track (and if you do please explain, as I am curious) - then after you’ve done the Export just do an Undo to restore the previously deleted track ) but dont’ close the project before you do this.
so, waxy, you’re saying that the lable track on top is confusing audacity… but when i was mixing these songs, i used the beat matcher(to make the transitions between songs smoother), and that’s when the label track popped up on top with all the ‘B’s’ in it. so if i deleted this track, wouldn’t i also be deleting all the beat transitions?
It doesn’t matter now, you don’t need that label track. You’ve done all the beat mixing and the result is fixed in stone (as it were) in that one track. You lose nothing by deleting that top label track. There is no music in that track, just labels. Get rid of it and try Export Multiple one more time …
Note that the manual says this about Beat Finder: “Beat Finder attempts to place labels at beats which are much louder than the surrounding audio. It’s a fairly rough and ready tool, and won’t necessarily work well on a typical modern pop music.”
You don’t want to create the label track until you are finished moving each track to get the crossfade you want, then doing a Mix and Render. Once you have one stereo track with your mix in it, then make the label track.
If you have a label track under several tracks and the link tracks buttons is pressed then, yes, all the clips on all the tracks will move together. This is a feature.
I use the ones that come pre-installed on my PCs:
RecordNow on my desktop
Roxio Creator on my laptop
I also now sometimes use Nero 9 (which I bought recently to burn DVDs - but also burns CDs)
All three work well for me - and I listen to the CDs created on Sennheiser studio headphones and on Quad ELS-57 electrostatic speakers (renowned for being accurate and revealing).
Sorry, I don’t know if any of them let you control the intersong gap - you can probably read the manuals/specs on t’interweb.
hey all, im new to the Audacity Forums but not new to Audacity, been using for it for… 4 years now.
why im posting here is I found this thread very helpful…and have read every line of it.
I had the same question my self when I first starting using audacity…and how I would do it…is simply just make a selection and export selection as …etc … it was tedious and now that i have seen this thread and details about Label Tracks and export multiple…it may just get a little easier. I do have a few questions tho and once i mess around I will ask them here.
As I am becoming more involved with advanced mixing I will be sure to have some questions quite opposite of this thread…and how to combine…seperate tracks into one long…mix…and beat mix them …etc…
