how do i put track numbers on my cd's?

Post by jaybighitter » Tue Jun 24, 2008 7:58 pm

hello, i'm a budding dj and i'm using audacity to record my mixes live as i play them, when i have finished the mix is one big track, is there a way of putting in track markers so that when i burn the mix to cd and play it back i don't have to scan fwd on the one track and skip to each individual track??????? help?????
(so instead of it being one big track its 12 tracks)

Put a marker at the front of each segment you want as an individual clip. Project > Add Marker, although there is a keyboard shortcut. Control-B ?? The last marker will point to the whole rest of the timeline, so be careful.

After you complete marking up your timeline, File > Export Multiple and pick your output format. Poof. Multiple clips sequentially numbered. Dump in the burning program of your choice.

By the way, I would strongly recommend Exporting the whole timeline as one WAV as a safety backup. Audacity Projects are brittle and prone to failure taking hours of work into the toilet. Save produces a Project, not a Sound File.
