adobe audition: cd tracks, session files, and project view

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I record live 2 channel/stereo audio. My old way of making cd copies
of
the music was to dump my recordings directly to a standalone cd
recorder
and make a quick copy, where the recorder would automatically insert
tracks every 3 minutes (or however long I set as default). I only
occasionally
did any editing with cool edit pro/adobe audition. I now have
audition and a new recorder where I have to dump my recordings to the
computer and then make copies. To set up the file for dumping to cd I
have
been using edit view and adding in track cues at the appropriate
points.
Sure would be nice to just put in a track cue every 3 minutes.

My question: Is there a way to save the cd project view as a file for
later reference? Or can I only create a session file in multitrack
then use
it later when creating a cd?
Right now I add track cues in the stereo edit view and then in cd
project view
drag the individual track cues into the project. The problem is I cant
find anyway to save this "session"
I read in the manual (pg. 258) the half dozen ways of inserting tracks.
I'm
going to try using the multitrack view and see if this works. Still
wont be able to save my cd project each time.

What I'd really like to do is create a track list (session file, cue
list,...)
and then import it into cdrwin and use it to make my copies. bit for
bit its
seems a better way to make copies.
thanks,
d

There used to be a way in Cool, bit I haven't found it in Audition.

You don't need a session at all. Just a single wav or multiple wavs opened
in teh wav edit window. You don't need to do anything in the mulitrack
session view, not can I think of a reason to use multitrack view for
burning..

How do you do that? I tried to drag a single cue in and got the following
error message:

"Only Track Cue Ranges or Entire Audio Files Can Be Inserted"??

Forget the CD burning in Audition for the moment - it still seems to need
work to be properly usable.

If you already have a cue list then there's a neat piece of software
called Cue List tool which will read an Audition Cue list and turn it into
a .cue file that CDR-Win (or one of the many other programs that
understands .cue files) will read.

If you don't already have a cue list then take a look at CDWave which is
great for building cue files when the audio is in one large file. CDWave
also has basic recording functions so you could possibly ditch Audition
altogether. Cue List Tool and CDWave are both free to try and a Google
search should find them.

Cheers.

James.

PS - Audition is a great program for editing, restoration and
multitracking - I use it all the time - but its CD functions leave much to
be desired.

I don't think that's what he meant. In Cool Edit, you could have a CD
project that involved several wav files and perhaps different projects could
be recreated with different combinations from the same wav's. You could
then save your burn instructions so it could be reopened at a later date
without having to open each file individually and drag over just the right
cuts, but not the wrong ones.

Its just another way Adobe fixed what wasn't broke in Cool Edit!
