Place all your tracks (songs) on one track and cross-fade them as you like then render to new track.

On the new rendered track, right-click > Open in trimmer.

Add a Marker at the start of the audio and a marker at the start of each cross-fade and one at the end of the audio > right-click > save markers/regions.

You will now see embedded markers in the newly rendered track, right-click it > Open in Sound Forge.

Once in Sound Forge > Special > Regions List > Markers to Regions.

I use Roxio so I name all the regions the name of the track and Roxio uses this for the CD Text, I don't believe Nero does. If that's the case it would be a waste of time to name them anything other than numerically in SF.

Tools > Extract Regions, choose a folder.

Now use Nero in your case to open those split up tracks, arrange and name them.

Here again, Roxio does not add a gap between tracks but in Nero you have to find the preference to change it from 2 seconds to 0. Roxio plays them seamlessly without doing this.

Burn.

So in the end you will have one long wave divided up at the start of the cross-fade, named and if Nero plays right will seamlessly play across the splits while giving the user the option to jump from track to track.

Wouldn't it make life easier if Sony products supported CD Text and Forge supported DOA?????

No Shit!! "DOA" Dead On Arrival for disc burning! Anyway, your step by step process shows just how ridiculous this is and Sony should be absolutely redfaced that this has not been implemented! Its amazing to me that some cheapo/cheesy programs can do these most basic functions and they are still not available in Sound Forge. CD text isn't available in ANY of them! Help me out here: is there ANY other comparable stereo editor that doesn't have CD text and DAO? Maybe there is but I'm not aware of them. (I realize that this probably should be moving to the SF forum but the thread started here so. . .)

LOL! That must have been a subconscious slip as I was thinking how ridiculous this is... OK, DAO....

Even more perplexing is that Siren read CD Text way back and has long ago been dropped by Sonic Foundry and bought by Sony?!?!?

Probably the easiest way to do this, is to use Colin Hills script utility.

I think is the latest link Colin posted: http://rakim.projecteva.net/cdautils.zip

Basically, what you do is render the project as one large wave file. Run Colins script, which will create a Cue Sheet for the track ID's in Vegas as well as import the text from Vegas for the CDtext tiltles and also link the Wave file you rendered to the Cue Sheet. Next, you open up Nero, or any other CDR software program and open the Cue Sheet, that got generated by the Vegas script. This will open the file and place all the Track ID's into Nero, where you will burn the CD and make sure you enable CDtext.

Let me know if it works, I haven't been successful in figuring out how to import the cue sheet into Nero yet, just going by Colins Instructions as of right now and how it works.

interesting. Hey Brian - could you have a look at my questions in the control surface thread? You may be one of the few that can answer my questions....

Sorry Cosmo,
I'm not much help with this one. Admittantly, I haven't used the H/W control surface as much as I'ld like too. In the last update it does seem to work with my Yamaha 03D. I don't get any hesitation or anything with Fader response as you mentioned. The problem I have is my midi interface seems to lock up and just stops responding after awhile of using it, therefore making it very frustrating for me. I have another midi interface and have been informed to try that one out to see if I get similar results, and have yet to do that to varify. So currently I'm on standby, until I get around to do some more trouble shooting to decide if I need to purchase another midi interface or start sending bug reports.

That's too bad, about the edirol, because I was looking at that one, and it seems like a nice unit, so I was highly considering purchasing it. Right now I'm kind of in limbo on the H/W controler feature and this was one of the major things I wanted for V5. If you figure out where your problem is, keep me posted.

Thanks for the input Red. let me clarify something though - the Edirol unit works great with everything BUT Vegas. That's a familiar tune for me to sing - no pun intended -)

After a full days research I'm onto Tascam now. Lots of bang for the buck and seemingly great reviews across the board. Just gotta pick a model...
