Help with aif exporting

[Meta-four]

Please someone help!

I am a DJ and record 60 minute long track demos to show fluid movement between vinyl records. I am trying to figure out a way to take a 60 minute track and break it up so that when I burn it to CD you can forward to the next track without causing a pause when playing it straight through, making it more user friendly to the common listener. I have tried to just break it up into seperate aiff tracks and then zero out the pause in Toast before I burn the CD, but it still leaves a pause. Is there a way to mark where the new track starts in Metro before you export? If anyone knows the answer please do share!

I just threw some aiff samples into toast and set all the pauses to zero and it worked for me on play back.

Maybe the waveform of the track is not starting exactly at the start of the track where you broke it up? Or at the end? That could be heard as a pause. The closer you get the music starting at the beginning - the shorter the pause. The silence can be easily deleted by selecting it and hitting delete.

iTunes also has the ability to record no pauses.

Hope this makes sense to you.

This does make sense. Thank you so much for the help. I actually found an easier way to break it up playing with it last night. I set my markers where I wanted the breaks in the track and used them to specify the selection to export individual tracks using the mix audio function under edit. Then selecting export to track and file. Now all I need to do is burn those with no pauses. I wonder if what I'm hearing is not a pause, but a slight overlap from my start and stop being the exact same SMPTE?

If you had a powerbook and no reason to flip between songs, you could leave everything on the mac, overlap the tracks and setup cross fades between them.

You'd be out of a DJ'ing job.....or at least become the senior member giving orders.....more time for partying and you still get a paycheck.
