That's it. Next time I will use Ardour.
It would be very nice to split a 90-minute liveset up into multiple,
song-length WAV's, but it was too much hassle to do that in Audacity. I
suspect it'd be very easy to do in Ardour.
It is extremely easy to do in ardour for a final of 1 CD or less and not bad
for more than one CD either. I am finally getting better at this. I wish I
had persued these skills a few years ago. Life would have been easier.

Don't forget the CD markers -> TOC export for creating CDs easily with
Ardour. Works great for live CDs where you want to add track
boundaries with no gaps for disk-at-once burning. Good call on Ardour; I probably would have had
the easiest time
working with this file in Ardour. Ardour is sweet. But for just
editing one long audio file, it seemed a bit like overkill. Also, I'd
be too tempted to overdub onto it, which is a no-no for a live
recording :-)
There are actually very good reasons to use ardour for post-processing
of live-recordings:
- Its completely non-destructive, even if you slice your 2-hour-file
into 10-seconds snippets and rearrange them and delete them one-by-one,
you still don't loose the material. Yes, you should have backups, but
who knows... - Its _very_ easy to apply mastering effects over the
whole session. (And with the jamin-control-plugin you can change
settings between songs.) - And all editing on effects and automation is
non-destructive too. That is very nice compared to clicking "apply
effect (silence)", having the computer work for ten minutes and the
realize that a) its the wrong effect and b) the "create undo" wasn't
selected.
- ardour is definitely not trying to load the whole 2-hour file into
ram...
I ended up using Audacity, and ended up with two huge files:

In FLAC format for your high-fidelity enjoyment.
