Hello all,
After reading all the online docs I could find I'm not sure how to
do the following.
I have an Ardour session that will be used to burn an audio CD.
There are three 'songs' in it, but each one should correspond
to more than one CD track. In other words some tracks start
in the middle of the music and there should be no gaps at
those points.
As far as I could find out, each track should correspond to a range,
and those ranges must not overlap. So should I manually ensure that
the start of range N+1 corresponds exactly to the end of range N,
or is there a better way to do this ?
my impression is that if you use a disk-at-once burner (as you need to
to avoid gaps) then the precise placement of markers is less
important. you'll export a single wave file, with a TOC file, give
that to cdrdao or equivalent, and the track markers will simply be
used to provide, ahem, metadata, that a CD player can use. if you
don't do this, and instead use track-at-once burning, the CD standard
mandates gaps between tracks.
