Track Splitting After Recording

I was wondering how or what everyone does to split up your tracks after recoding your mix. I just got an NS7 and was wondering how people split their mixes up in to separate tracks.

Audacity.

why would you separate the tracks? Since you already have then in full lenght before u mixed them. Is it to create a mixcd with track-sellection perhaps? If thats the case, bad idea to split them and burn them. Every track will have a small pause, even when you chose 0sec gaps.

Not in iTunes with gapless playback enabled.

Well there are a lot of tracks where I dont like the 2nd or 3rd verses and just like the 1st one and the chorus of a song. Plus I like to skip around. Why would there still be a gab after choosing 0second gaps?

I use nero to burn CD's and on there I can chose to have 0 second gaps when burning and it has always worked just fine..

Its my experience when messing around thats you can hear a track jump to the next one. Depends how the cdplayer handles it perhaps, that little skip. I just make .cue files and import that into my burning-software, then the track stays in once piece and the software writes where the tracks begin and end. Much faster.

Could you explain this a little more? Or tell me where I could get more info on how to do it that way?

well, I've been thinking the last days how I did it last time and I just cant remember :s
But this tool seems to do the job cuemaster.org
You just insert every track from the mix, leave title/artis blank if you dont care about it and fill in the time where the track starts. Then save the cue file and use it in our favorite burn program. I use the free CDBurnerXP Pro, and just load the cue file, burn and have a nice demo cd that can be skipped, 100% gapless :)

Ok, thanks for the input!
