I agree with this...U should shine on the cd like u normally would live so that it represents you, not a computer generation you (which lets be honest, serious editing even helps the best DJ sound TOO flawless).What I do is do my whole set in one shot and record it into the computer via sound forge.If u feel that any minor editing needs to be done afterwards, you can always go into sound forge and do what you got to do. Then you can do your eq-ing and what not (if u want to add filtering, whatever) after that as well.To seperate the track ID's in sound forge you just have to make each track's starting point to end point a region, and then you can extract each region as it's own file. Once that's done you just have to go to whatever burning program you use and line them (each region) all up one after another.I don't know if that was more than u needed, but hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
