I hope im in the correct forum with this question. I have been putting together some 80min. mixes and up to now they have been 1 long continuous track. Is there a program out there than I can use to split the track into several at whatever point I choose?

CD/Redbook authoring program:
Load the mix, set the track indexes.

Sample editor:
Select/highlight the region you want for each track and use a 'save selection' option. This will save out each track as an individual wav. Then just rebuild the tracklist in your burning software.

Multi-track:
Create a session with however many tracks you want your final cd to have. Load the mix into track 1 and time-lock it. Select the point where you want the track change and use the 'split' option. Drag the second half (the piece to the right of the cut) down to the next track. Repeat until you've got it all cut. Select the first track, click mixdown, and save the mixdown as its own wav. Repeat until you've saved all the tracks. Rebuild the tracklist in your burning software.

Of these three methods, setting track indexes is the easiest. Next I would say is using a multi-tracker (something like Adobe Audition will do just fine). This way sounds like a lot of work but it's actually not & really simple. Last, if you cut up the mix in a sample editor, make sure you keep track of the start & end times of each track so you don't overlap any audio or cut something completely out.

If you split the mix into individual wav files, make sure you set the gap time to 0 seconds from track 2 on. This will eliminate the pause between tracks.

mp3DirectCut is a fast and extensive audio editor and recorder for MP3. You can directly cut, copy, paste or change the volume with no need to decompress your files for audio editing. This saves encoding time and preserves the original quality, because nothing will be re-encoded. The built in recorder creates MP3 "on the fly" from an audio input. Using Cue sheets, pause detection or Auto cue you can easily divide long files.

I was having a hard time finding the CD Redbook so I used mp3Direct...

That worked good. I was abel to split the tracks where I wanted. Now my question is, i have the songs split but when I record them on CD there is a slight stutter between tracks, how can I record the cd so it plays continuously from track to track with no stutter or pause between songs?

The reason you had a hard time finding CD Redbook is because no program called CD Redbook exists. CD/Redbook is a FORMAT/STANDARD.

does acid pro 5 allow you to burn audio files without markers? if so you'll be good. Personally I use NERO and ROXIO for burning. I use NERO for dvd stuff and ROXIO for the audio. In roxio all songs will be burned without the 2 second gap unless YOU specify that you want the gap.

I have Nero but dont have the Roxio. So it comes down to the way I ask it to record right? With Nero it has an option "no pause between tracks" which I turn on but it still "stutters" between tracks....
