The only way i can think of doing this would be to insert silence at the end of the wave which you want the gap to follow. that or make a track of dead air in between the tracks you're trying to separate. talk about minimal.. .e

Depends on your burning software - you should be able to set the track gap to whatever you want. (Jam on the Mac will definitely do this} Joe At 8:31 PM -0400 9/5/99, Zelixer@aol.com wrote:

Irene, Using EZCDCD, the best way to do this is probably to edit the wav files individually by adding to the ends of each file. This involves opening up the Sound editor and adding to the ends of the wavs. The problem is that editing wavs takes time - escpecially if you are adding to tracks. Given that you are probably trying to do this in less time, here's what I would do...: 1) Create whatever length.WAV files you want (for those seconds of silence) 2) Create your Audio layout, with these .WAV files between each track. 3) Highlight track 1 & 2, select the "Effects" menu item, and select, "Merge Tracks". 4) Repeat step three for tracks 3 & 4... to the end of the layout. 5) Burn it! I'm not sure this prog allows one to set varying time gaps between tracks. As I'm sure you know, it burns TAO default (inserting the 2 second gap) and an also be set to burn DAO (laser stays on, no gap at all) by skipping the wizard and going to the "advanced" menu in the user interface. If you have 3.01d or above, you can also overburn and use 80 min media if you cancel the wizard and simply ignore the warning. NOW...if you want a prog which will allow you much more control over all of those things, you need Sonic Foundry's CD Architect, especially used in tandem with Sound Forge. Mxyzptlk wrote:
