Sound Editor - Inserting Track Separators

[JackE]

I wanted to convert audio cassette to CD so I used LP & Tape Assistant (Easy Media Creator 7.5) to record the cassette to hard drive. When I recorded my cassette from LPs and 45s, I rarely left any blank space between songs. Therefore, I chose to not let LP & Tape Assistant insert track separators because it could not detect where to insert. This means I now have only 1 track that contains many songs.

 

Sound Editor allows for inserting track separators so I play my 1 track until I reach the end of a song and insert the track separator.

 

The problem I am having is that I have reached song 10 and whenever I insert the track separator the remaining portion of the long track appears as 0 min 0 sec in the TRACKS portion of the window. Of course this is incorrect but I don't know how fix this problem. I have even tried to skip multiple songs before inserting the separator but am unable to get the same results as with the first 9 songs in the long track.

 

Suggestions?

I'm not exactly sure what you are struggling with here - but here goes . .

I open up a track in Sound Editor, then I position my cursor part way through the audio track and click. If I do this at the 2 minute mark of a 6 minute track, I end up with the bottom bar indicating:

2:00 on the left (ie. positioned 2 minutes into the track), and

6:00 in the upper right (length of the current track), and

4:00 in the lower right (time remaining after the current position).

If I then "insert a track break" - these numbers change to:

0:00 (position of cursor in current track - now track #2)

4:00 (length of track 2), and

4:00 (time remaining in the current track).

The time remaining doesn't get to zero until I am all the way to the end of the original track. Are you trying to insert a track marker at the very end of the .wav file? You do not need to do that, as the end of the file will end up being the end of the last track. If you insert 1 track marker in the middle of a wave file and then do "file" - "save all tracks" - you will end up with 2 files in the directory where you saved the tracks in whatever format you chose in the "save as type" drop down box. If you actually want 10 tracks (ie. 10 wave files) in your example, the last track marker you are inserting is at the position of your file representing the beginning of track #10.

Sorry for the long dissertation, but I was thinking this through and doing it in Sound Editor as I was writing . . .

Does anyone know is there a way of deleting the right channel without deleting the left channel. I have a spit track but want to take the voices off and they are on the right channel.

In Windows volume control properties, move the top slider (the horizontal one) over to one end when importing - that should drop one channel

Try CDWave or GoldWave, as suggested in the last post of this thread -

Either will allow you to edit the track(s).
