Audio Tracks from tape exported to separate files.

I have a bunch of old cassettes and have been trying to convert them for my computer. I tried a couple of free audio editing programs and hated them. I already have Vegas for video editing, (now 8) and like the way it deals with audio.

So, I captured the entire cassette in Vegas and put in track markers, thinking I could render all the tracks out separately by marker, but alas, I can't figure out how to do that. Even the free audio program can do that. Surely Vegas can, but I can't find out how in the help file.

How can I take 45 minutes in one track that has markers for 10 songs and render out ten separate mp3 files without rendering them one at a time?

Thanks,

Kirk

Don't know if there is any way to automate the process Kirk. Hopefully, if there is someone else will jump in with how. When I have to subdivide large files into separate songs, I put in markers and then create loops between the markers, select the render loop only check box in the rendering dialog, and render each song separately. While it isn't an automated process, it doesn't take all that long, and it does allow me to name each song file as I go.

If you use regions instead of markers there is a script that automates rendering each region to a separate file. Look under Tools / Scripting / Batch Render

If you're outputting to Audio CD you can use "N" to create a new track wherever you need.
