splitting large file into multiple traks (cassete transfer)
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 5:40 pm
Hello Everyone,
I have a large cassette collection I need to transfer to digital. I am recording into DP and get 2, large audio files (1 per cassette side).
I used to use BIAS PEAK to automatically find the silence between tracks and make them into regions, that would be named and exported as individual tracks in a very intuitive and efficient manner. Fades were fast and easy, as well. I don't have access to that any more...
So, I was wondering how to best do this in DP?
So far, I have been splitting off tracks and using the split command. Then, adjusting each fade in & out on either side of the cut manually... This is pretty inefficient and I have a lot of cassettes to do! Then I have a long track with multiple sound files with spaces. Since I want my fades to be recorded, I am having to bounce each one at a time to keep my individual names and keep the individual tracks separate (not merging in the bounce)...
Is there a way to select multiple, individual tracks and bounce them to remain separate at the same time?
What is the best way to do this in DP?
Or, is another dedicated program better for doing this? I see that Audacity comes up in my internet searches for splitting large files into multiple tracks on a mac, but I have never used it.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
Thank you.
