i have a vs 880 that i dump every track down to data beckers music pro recording software. my qustion is, i can dump the entire mix on to a single track and burn a cd, but if i have 8 tracks when i go to burn the song it will only burn the last track. any ideas on how to put all the files into one so the mix is a whole?
alos is there nay place on the net to get free recording software?
 
Didn't I respond to this exact question about 2 weeks ago? Just asking cause otherwise I'm really going insane.

Anyway, unless you want to mix the tracks on the PC, just dump them all as a single file to begin with. Makes it really easy. Hook up the 880 to your computer, get a wav editor (Goldwave is shareware, www.goldwave.com), set it up to record, hit play on the 880. However you mix it in the 880 when it's playing will be the mix that gets recorded to that wav file. If your sound cards supports it you can use the digital out on the 880 and get a great quality transfer to the PC. Once you save that wav file, burn it to a CD and it should work like you want.

IF you do want to record each track into the PC individually, then you need multi track software that will open up all the wav files at once on separate tracks, allow you to mix however you want, then save to (render) a single wav file. Then you burn that new wav file to CD. N-track is the cheapest thing I know of that will do a good job of this. www.n-track.com has a download you can try out. If you need to know more, post it in this thread.

Now, don't make me answer this exact question again... :cool:
