Can Sound Forge 6.0 split a long audio file into smaller pieces? For example, I have a DJ mix and I want to place track markers where a new song comes in.

Thanks!!!
Matt

C & P'd from one of my previous posts;

If there is no blank space between songs;

Place the cursor at the start of the audio in the file.

Press "m" to insert a marker.

Press the spacebar to start playback.

Press "m" again at the crossfade location to insert another marker. Repeat to the end.

Click Special > Regions List > Markers to Regions, when prompted click yes or ok.
In the Regions List window highlight a region click enter to edit name.

Click tools > Extract Regions and save them to a folder and burn them all in your burning software using DAO (disk at once) to prevent spaces between tracks.


If you have blank space to eliminate between songs;

Press "[" at the start of the song.

Press spacebar to start playback.

Press "]" at the end.

Press "r" to create region and name it.

Repeat to the end.

Click tools > Extract Regions and save them to a folder and burn them all in your burning software using DAO (disk at once).

They will be saved as *.wav files good for burning to CD. If you recompress them to MP3 again the quality will suffer greatly from uncompressing then recompressing.
