Musician recording a songs from live performance
If I record a live performace under one song, when it is time
to write the audio to CD, how can I pick a handful of songs,
say 5 or 6, from a total of 12, on that one song without writing the entire live performace to CD. If I mix one of the
songs than another, than another, etc... they all end up on
the same song that will be burned to the CD. I have tried changing the name of the song each time I mix a new tune
within this live recording but that does not create a new song.
I end up with a song recorded on CD that is a 4 minute tune
but takes up 50 minutes on the CD. Hopefully I am making
sense here.

Re: Musician recording a songs from live performance
Can you select regions of your whole recording and then seave these as separate "songs" which you can then mix independently.
The issue here is that the AW can only save one stereo song per "song" which means that you will have to find a way around it.
The only other option I can conceive at this time is to save multiple copies of your original recording and then do your stereo song mix on one song at a time. This will obviously take a lot of disk space which is why I suggested the first route.
The only other possibility is to mix one track, write the stereo track and then the CD. Remove the CD and do this process for the next track and so on until you have a pile of CDs which you then need to compile somehow, maybe using a PC. You could also use the AW again to make the compilation by loading in the CD recorded tracks one at a time - burning new stereo tracks and then compiling from there.
Hope this is of some use.

Re: Musician recording a songs from live performance
Wellie-
Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. I am new to
digital multitrack recording and am having a great time with
this machine.
The more I thought about my situation I came up with the
same plan as the last one you suggested.
Record all the tracks, "disk at once" onto a CD. Re record or
load back all the songs from the CD (from a CD player) back
onto the aw16g as seperate songs. This seems like the easiest
way to accomplish this goal with out using extra hard drive space. This way I can re record just the songs I want from this live performance. Thanks again for the input.
John

Re: Musician recording a songs from live performance
Just one thought - I am not sure when you copy a CD into the AW whether you can stop it copying at a given point so you would still start with some pretty big files (A CD holds up to approx 700Mb) If you can select regions to save, this might be another way of doing the same without havingto work with these big files.
I've not had to do this myself so I can't really be of much use there.
Anyway, enjoy - you have a fab machine.
Cheers

Re: Unregistered poster - how come????
You asked:
"If I record a live performace under one song, when it is time
to write the audio to CD, how can I pick a handful of songs?"
This may be a round-a-bout way but I've used it and it works for me.
Once you've got your performance in the can and you've done you EQing and what ever is needed to get the sound you are happy with play the whole performance through and place the "MARK POINTS" where you want the songs divided. REMEMBER DON'T place a MARK POINT at the start of the recording, your first MARK POINT should be placed at the end of the first song and after each song that follows, except the last.
Write to the STEREO TRACK. Then BURN to CD using DISC AT ONCE and make sure you have enabled the MARKER button on the CD WRITE screen so that you will be able to select each track when you play back the finished CD.
You now have a playable CD that you can select tracks from.
Now use an external CD play as your performance/playing source for the CD you just made. You will probably need to use adaptor jacks (RCA male on one end 1/4 inch mono phono jack on the other). Connect the CD player left and right OUTcable to the RCA end of the adaptor and insert the 1/4 inch end into AW-16's 1/4inch Mic/Line inputs e.g. #3 and #4 as if you were recording two tracks live off the floor. Hard Left and hard Right the appropriate pans and record the tracks you want from the previously recorded CD (it's digital so there sould be no loss of quality).
A NOTE OF CAUTION HERE: Your CD player probably has it's own pre-amp so much less volumn will be needed on you AW16's GAIN and track volumes, test play with caution.
You can record each selected song as a seperate recording or record all the songs you want on the new CD by stopping the recoding between songs, select the next song you wish recorded and hit RECORD & PLAY for each until all selections have been re-recorded. Play them back through, again placing "MARKS" at the end of each song. Again, if needed, EQ and MASTER, write to STEREO then once again BURN to CD using DISC AT ONCE and make sure you have enabled the MARKER button on the CD WRITE screen to get each track.
