Trackmarking in Soundforge in 20 easy(ish) steps!
for this example i am using
soundforge 9, altho this process is the same on older versions
.wav file (sample_city-med_mix), i have found if you use this method with .mp3 files you can still get a gap/stutter in the mix
37min 20.208sec mix
made up of 8 tracks
1. Open your mix & Goto the start of your mix, by pressing button (00:00:00.000)
2. Click Special
3. Click Insert Marker (you will get a line and a tag)
4. Find the parts of your mix where you want the track marks to go, you can zoom in and drag a marker with your mouse to the exact place
5. Click Special
6. Click Insert Marker
7. Repeat (for a 8 track CD you will have to repeat 7 times)
8. Goto the end of your mix, by pressing button (00:37:20.208)
9. Click Special
10. Click Insert Marker
Now you should have your 37min 20sec mix with 9 Markers (1 @ the start, 7 when the tracks change, & 1 @ the end)
11. Click on Special
12. Click on Regions List
13. Click on Markers to Regions
You will now get a box saying 'All of the Markers in the sound file will be converted to Regions. Are you sure you want to continue?
14. Click Yes
Now all the Markers are Regions and will be named
1 1/2 2/3 (in older versions they are named region-starttime-endtime)
etc...etc...
15. Click on Tools
16. Click on Extract Regions
A Extract Regions box will appear with all 8 Regions named (in older versions they are named region-starttime-endtime)
17. Select a Destination Folder (eg. c:\my_mix)
18. Click Extract
The program will now 'Extract' each Region and save it to the Destination Folder
you can check the progress in the bottom left of the screen
19. Close Soundforge
20. Open the destination folder (eg. c:\my_mix)
You should have 8 .wav files saved in it
now burn these 8 files, i use nero, tick the no pause between tracks button
