Accessing Songs Within A Live Show

[Marke Burgstahler]

Hi all,

I have a multitrack file in CbB which is a live recording of a band. I'd like to export some of the better tunes individually as MP3's vs. exporting the entire set. I'm sure there is an elegant/quick way to do this - any tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have not done this yet in CbB, but in earlier editions of Sonar the way I tackled this was to first: place markers and split the audio at the beginnings and endings of the desired tunes, then select a marker, highlight that section, mixdown that section if there are multiple tracks and export audio as mp3.  It sure would be nice if there was some sort of batch process, but this worked for me.  Hope that helps.

thank you sir - this is essentially what I ended up doing. I split the individual clips at the start and end points of the song, highlighted the clips, and did a Bounce To Track -, and exported the bounced mix as a MP3. Thanks again!

I typically do what was described above/split tracks, export.

Then I import the songs in to Sony CD Architect. This allows me to re arrange and more importantly.... Number each song for CD type use (Album with songs in format with #'s).
