selective burning

Milt wrote on 3/29/2008, 8:29 AM

Say I have a project with 2 songs in it, I add 2 more and I want to burn a cd with just the 2 newly added tracks. How do I do that? I have tried the shift/click method to select the 2 new tracks, but all 4 still get burned. Is it possible to do this? Thanks all!

Not entirely sure what you're after. BUt..

Why not just delete the first 2 tracks from teh project, or even more sensibly, just start a new projet with just your 2 new tracks...

Or are you trying to effectively add another 2 tracks to a CD which already contains some tracks - as in a multi-session CD?

Thanks, Kenny. I am trying to keep all of a clients songs in one project. I figured out how to do it, just deleted the tracks I didn't want from the timeline. Had another little problem though, got an error message that said (paraphrasing) that the media was not compatible with this project.The media was a standard CDR, I tried a CDRW , and it worked. Oh well, more to learn! Thanks again, Milt.

I would keep all the tracks in the Media Pool, but reorganise the timeline/tracklist and Save As with a filename like bandname_projectname_alternativetrax1.cda , or something like that.

Milt,

I think what you are asking about would be a nice feature. I recorded a show for a band and there was a total of about 3 hours of music. I wanted to put all of the tracks into one CDA project (session) and burn subsets of the total to multiple discs. I could not find a way to do it so I ended up doing the *save as* method and deleting tracks that weren't to be used on a specific CD.
