Try Audio Cleraning Lab by Magix- I paid about $ 50 for mine at Best Buy. My old version worked at over 4 seconds. Drop in 5 or 6 second silent breaks in your original signal. Magix will automatically make index points when you invoke the proper spell: go to CD along the top bar. The drop down menu offers "Set Track Marker Automatically." Do so. Make your CD through the program, also simple. I haven't yet tried the upgrade, so I'm not certain that 4+ seconds still trigers the indexer. ========================= Steven Smolian 301-694-5134 Smolian Sound Studios --------------------------------------------------- CDs made from old recordings, Five or one or lifetime hoardings, Made at home or concert hall, Text and pics explain it all. at www.soundsaver.com ========================= ----- Original Message ----- From: "andy kolovos" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 1:27 PM Subject: CD track marking > Folks, > > I'm currently switching over from making listening copies of field > recordings on cassette to using CDs.
