Creating Tracks for CD Burning - How To

Q:  How do I exactly make "tracks" when burning a CD? I have NERO which I will
    be using to burn the CD. I am a DJ and have a continuous mix (approx 70 
    mins), but I want to break up the mix into tracks. So I could skip around 
    and play various tracks....or just let it play from start to finish.

A:  Save your audio projects as a stereo, PCM Wave file, at 16-bit, 44.1kHz 
    sampling rate (resolution). To break up your 70-minute mix into separate
    Wave files, use the Cut, Copy and Paste functions in AudioSurgeon. 

         (If you need a tutorial on this, please take a look at the online 
          Help in the program or the manual, available here: click here
          
    Once you have split your big WAV file into separate, smaller WAV files, 
    Nero will accept these files when you make an audio CD in that program.

Q:  So basically I have to cut the mix, I can't just insert markers and 
    designate them as new tracks?

A:  That's correct. You can drop markers in AudioSurgeon and then use the 
    Split Markers Into Files function (from the Markers menu). This will work
    the same as Cut/Paste. 

                                 ***

Q:  Cutting and copying would reduce the integrity of the mix. Do the markers
    in AudioSurgeon work this way or am I wrong?

A:  When you make the CD layout in Nero, don't leave any space (silence) 
    between the tracks. Then they will play from one track to the next with 
    no 'gap' or silence in between. They will segue from one track to the 
    next, continuously, just as they did before the 'split into new files'
    operation.
