VF160ex Mixdown Dillema/Question..Help!

[Moebius79]

Hello,
I have stumbled upon a problem regarding mixdown, I'll try to explain.
I have recorded a band practice session on one track of a program, the track lasts for 1 hour 45 mins. When I try to mix the track into seperate segments I run into a problem. For example, if the segment that I want to mix starts at 20 min, after I have mixed down I have 20 min of silence followed by the segment that I wanted mixed. If I want to mix a segment located 45 min in, then I get 45 min of silence followed by the segment. I hope I'm explaining clearly.
I really don't understand waht I'm doing wrong and have tried to find a solution in the manual but am no closer to solving the matter.
Please could somebody explain to me the problem/solution. I've had my VF160ex for a few years and am baffled.

Thanks and appreciation in advance.

You're not doing anything wrong. That's a feature of Internal Mixdown. Rest assured, when you go to burn the mixdown to CD the leading silence will "disappear."

Aha, thank you so much Paj!
I had mixed down a lengthy track into segments before but I suppose I didn't listen until CD stage. You know what the manual is like, very frustrating.

Thanks once again, my sanity is safe (at least for another day....)

You are going to want to make sure you use the clipboard when you burn to CD however, otherwise you could end up with your 20 min of silence.
