Cd Burn - What did I do wrong?

I had two projects to burn to one CD.
Each I handled as separate veg files in VV30.
The first consisted of individually rendered wav files which I brought to the time line by using the "add as CD Track" command.

The second veg file consisted of one 49 minute wav which I split according to the selections using the insert track region command. I then manually (using the time command) inserted the required 2-second space between the tracks.

I burned each of the above to the same CD. The result is a CD that plays fine, but has only two large tracks on it, one 23-minute track containing the events from Veg file #1, and the other a 49 minute track containing the events from Veg file #2. I was expecting 8 tracks from veg file #1 and 8 more from veg file #2.

Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. Any clues would be appreicated.

I've read the PDF manual section on this, and thought I did things properly.

Thanks.

I haven't had much luck letting Vegas lay out my audio CDs. Try a manual approach. I place the individual "events" (wav files) on the timeline just as I want to hear the finished CD, with or without any silence between cuts (crossfades will also work). Then I manually place track IDs by placing the cursor at the beginning of each song and pressing "N" This method hasn't failed me yet.

Haywire:
The procedure you describe sounds identical to my second example, but, my finished CD only had two big tracks on it when I finished.

What step did I miss (your 'N' command inserts the track marker manually . . . just as I did, I think).

Thanks for the reply.

Sounds like you're buring using TAO (Track-At-Once) which burns a single track from the Vegas project. I think what you want to do is combine your projects and burn DAO (Disc-At-Once), which pays attention to the PQ markers that you are creating with 'N'...
