Seemingly..and probably dumb-ass question.

Is it standard operating procedure for burning multiple waveforms onto a CD this way.... ONE track compromised of all the tracks to be on an entire CD??? I usually load separate waves into CD creator software and then burn em' as separate tracks onto the CD! Is there any advantage to just burning one long-ass wave with like 4 second separations between songs?? Thanks in advance! ----Lee
 
Advantages? What did you have in mind? And why not just burn separate tracks to the CD like everybody else? LOL

:D LOL is right! I ask because of what I read on another forum:

What's everyone's process for getting audio onto CD?

I basically now load all my tracks into one waveform.. place cues where needed and save.. use the CueList tool (thankyou ozpeter!) to make a cue file ..and burn at 1x using Alcohol 120%

Just thought I would ask the experts around these-a-here forums because I am eager to find out the pro's and con's of apparently 2 different ways of creating CD'S with multiple tracks. All the best from sunny, warm Florida. Don't hate me. ---Lee
 
Hate you? Nah...no chance. And 'experts around here'? Not much chance of that either. LOL

I've never heard of burning the whole CD as a single file. I don't see any advantage, unless it enabled you to choose how long the silent gap is between songs - you could vary it. But can't you do that with good software these days anyway, the stuff that automatically puts a gap between songs? I'm still using an old version of EZ CD creator - automatic gap, same length each time.
 
I wouldn't do it if I had the files already split up. But it could be useful if you had one big file of say a concert or live recording and you didn't want any gaps. You could just put cue marks at different places during the concert.

That's what I'm doing right now - transcribing concerts from tape to hard disk as one big long wave - doing some cleanup and adding 'magic dust' - and just putting in markers where new songs start. Saves a lot of time and lets the concert progress without any gaps...

For personal use - I don't know if markers is red book - something like it is I'm sure. Something similiar must be used for crossfades - another possible use of markers.
