Re: SEPERATING TRACKS ON A VINYL ALBUM

I just downloaded this version and noticed your query. After using an older version for compiling vinyl file for my ipod, I found no such macro algorythmn for doing the work. Wouldn't life be nice if it would? The conversion from old vinyl to the digital realm is tedious at best, kind of like doing your laundry, best if done in small batches between other tasks.

Also not carried in on mp3 track files you'll generate by copy and paste is data such as song title, album, genre, etc. The program doesn't automatically eliminate clicks, and pops either. But as a manual method for achieving an end, Goldwave is the software I run to for my editing needs.

To beat the tedium, I'll occasionally forgo the resolution of the album into tracks and just have the whole side of the album to play at once, kind of a homage to the way these were originally spun.

The other thing I've noticed is that sometimes the album information is not accurate, either by design or by accident. I have a lot of cut-outs and perhaps these were the accidents. Things like song duration and title are sometimes transposed on a few of the album tracks, perhaps in an attempt to combat piracy.

If there were a way to separate tracks, it would probably involve running the mp3 file through a time filter log and looking for the dropouts of the sound profile and copy and pasting and saving accordingly, but might be confused depending on the actual music by dwells of no sound. Sounds like something outside the scope of GW.

: I am using GoldWave to record vinyl LP's onto my computer hard drive. Can anyone please tell me how i set the programme to seperate the tracks automaticly as the album plays through so that i can save them as seperate files to burn to a CD. Many Thanks.
