That's what I just said, earlier, Ben.  Yeah, it definitely will, but it's kind 
of a pain in the kneck.  PT is a bit overkill for this task.

  Subject: Re: Burning an Audio CD, but I have a slight delemma


  Maybe this is a bad answer, but won't ProTools do this?

    OK guys,

    Hopefully one of you can help me with getting around this.

    So, here's the situation.  I have an mp3 file which I want to burn on to an 
audio CD.

    Burning the CD isn't the issue.  I have several applications I can use like 
Anyburn, Simplyburns, etc. for doing that task.

    The problem however is, this mp3 file is over 2 hours long in length.  
Obviusly, an audio CD is only going to hold 80 minutes.  OK, there is the 
concept of overburning, but I'm not even touching that one.  LOL!  Even then, I 
couldn't do it to the extreme this would have to be done, so there went that 
idea out the window.

    Basically, what I'm therefore seeking is an easy way to take this file, and 
split it into 2 mp3 files both of which would be less than 80 minutes.  
Ideally, I'd like the first disc to be around 78 minutes.  I know I have up to 
80, but I'd rather leave just a bit of wiggle room to insure no disc writing 
errors along the way.  Then, what ever is left over could go on the 2nd CD.

    I know I could do this with ProTools, but then I have to create a whole 
session, take that mp3 import it into the session, edit it down, bounce it out, 
take the same mp3, make another session, import the mp3 again, edit it to the 
second half, bounce it out... you get the idea... it's tedious, and annoying.

    One may say, that's just part of audio engineering.  Yeah, you're right.  
It is.  I'll give that one to ya, but is there not maybe a program that could 
split it at a marker point a bit more quickly and easily?  I don't have Amadeus 
Pro, but I suppose I could buy it, if you all think it would help.  I'm a 
little low this month, but if I've gotta do it, I've gotta do it.

    I also do have Logic Pro X, but I'd really really rather not go that route, 
as to me, Logic is very confusing.  It's doable, but it's definitely not for 
the faint of heart.

    Before anyone asks, why not use Garageband, I guess I could, but again, 
that would involve a lot of importing, bouncing, reimporting, rebouncing, etc.  
I just want something open the original file, jump to 78 mins even, select from 
there to the end of the file, and delete, savbe that file with a different 
name, reopen the original file, go to 78 mins even, select from there to the 
beginning of the file, delete, save the file with another name for the second 
half, and boom.  Mission accomplished.

    Is there not something that would make it that easy?

    Chris.
