Adobe audition splitting a track using markers not seamless

Hello everybody,

I'm new here indeed :)

I have a question, if somebody can help me it would be great.

I've made a compilation in adobe audition using multitracks. I used MP3's, WAV's and recordings from CD's, and I mixed them all together.
Afterwards, I've made a mixdown, and wanted to split up the tracks again. So I used adobe audition and markers, and the option "export audio of selected range markers".

When I played the split up tracks afterwards (windows media player), I've heard a little crack or audio clicks when the cut between the tracks is done.

So I've done some research and found this topic:
This only works for CDs, and the reason is that all CDs are coded in whole frames on the disc. If you cut your audio and the cut isn't on a frame boundary, the rest of that frame will be filled with silence. Your following track may have a similar problem - if the audio time reference doesn't fall on a boundary start, there will be a gap there too, I suspect (although I've never run into this personally). Anyway, that gap, even on tracks that follow on directly on the CD with no inter-track pause, is what makes your join non-seamless.


I made sure the cuts are on frame bounderies, and used other file formats than mp3's, but the problem remains.
When I cut & paste 2 split up tracks again after eachother in a new file, I notice the original marker was kept in the file, and exactly there, there's a little crack in the audio.

So my question is: Am I doing something wrong to create seamless split ups in audition, or is there another way?

I want to burn the mix onto a CD, gapless, and next to that, I want to make the seperated tracks available for download.

Thank you,
Lieven
