I recorded a mix from my turntables through Sound Edit. I cut the section
I want as tracks and pasted them into new files. I now have separate AIFF files from the mix. I opened and placed the files in a playlist in ITunes. I burned the playlist into a CD( I'm new to this since i've been using a Tascam for CDR recording). I played the CD and there are delays between each track.

Is there an easier way to divide a mix up and place as separate tracks so it would play smooth with ease? Thanks.

toast titanium comes with software which they intend to be used for transferring records to cd through your computer. You can use it to do almost everything you're describing.

It automatically finds where the tracks start and stop (or lets you define them), and you can lessen the affects of pops and hiss, and crank up the bass if you so desire.

If you want to make a dj style mix cd, with NO audible gaps between the tracks then you will need adaptec (or roxio now?) jam software.

goodluck!

actaully, toast will let you do a cd with 0 sec pauses also, just as jam will.

the only limitation is that some burners (mostly the crappy usb ones) won't let you creat an index point in mid-frame or likewise might force you to have a few disc sectors as a minimum pause.

just kick out all your track sections as .aiff's (as you've already done), go into toast (or jam), set the default pause time to 00:00 and you're in business. (you must have a 2 second pause before the 1st track, but both programs will do this automatically).

You've come across one of the many limitations of iTunes. The other posters are correct. Toast (or Jam) will be better for you. But Jam is due an update very soon, so Toast is more likely to be compatible with your OS.

You may need to disable your iTunes extensions in order to work successfully with Toast Titanium. You won't be losing anything by doing this, because Toast is also much, much quicker than iTunes or DiscBurner.

Thanks Peeps
I got a copy of Toast but the Pause set-up only displayed 0 seconds instead of having it more percise(00:00:00).

Then I used Jam and it was just right. Plays my mixes smoooooth........! It satisfied my needs a whole lot.
