David - Total Recorder is a great choice for capturing
audio so you're good there.
Sound Forge works great for chopping that audio into
smaller bits - it's the process you need to get down
that will help you the most.
The process I use for chopping up my DJ mixes into
individual tracks is to create markers by placing the
cursor at the beginning of the track (pressing 'm' on
your keyboard is a shortcut) and then moving through
the audio file pressing M each time you want a new
track to start.
It's important here to make sure you create a marker
at the beginning of the track and the end!
Next, go to tools (or options - I dont have the
software here at the moment) and select "Convert
Markers to Regions"
Next, do "Save Regions as" (or something similar) and
it will export all your tracks individually.
For tagging the MP3 Files I use "MP3 Tag Tools" it's
an exceptional (and free) program that makes short
work of tagging whole directories of files.
If you're unable to find the location in Sound Forge
of some of that regional stuff let me know and I'll
track it down when Im back at my other system
Hope this helps...
