No just do each song in sound forge separately.

  Hi Dan!
  thanks for your advise there.
  but one question i got here is this, you say that I have to creat each song 
in a sepparat project and then export each song to a a stereo wave file.
  then you say that I can creat a new project and add my exported wav files 
into that new project and use cut, paste and nudge to get each track to the 
right posission that I want to have it.
  the only question is, should I creata project with only one track where I 
just add all the songs I want to have on my album and then
    master the final album in that project, then export it to a big wav file 
and then take it in to sound forge?
    if so, that seems to be something to give a good try on,(smile).
    but can you tell me where the split index option is in nero?
    Warm regards,
    Jorgen!

    Jorgen,

    You definitely need to look at the entire album as a single file, because 
this is the only way to judge how the album works as a whole.  But if you 
create each song from scratch in the same project your asking for trouble.  The 
project will be massive, hard to work with, and if the project gets corrupted 
you'll lose everything.  The way to work round this is to create each song in a 
separate project and then export it as a stereo wave file.  You can then use a 
new project to pull all the files together and work with the album in a much 
smaller project.  You'll also have backups of each song in case something goes 
wrong.

    Do not just save each song separately and burn all the files straight to 
disk.  Some songs need longer gaps between them and the levels you set for a 
song may not work when its next to other songs.  You may also need to change 
the EQ and do more compression to make all the songs sit properly together.  If 
you don't do this you'll end up with a mess of separate songs that sound like 
they were slapped together in a tea break.

    Here's how I'd do this.

    1. create each song in a separate project and export the audio as a stereo 
wave file.

    2. Create a new project and add all the separate files.  Use cut paste and 
nudge to get each section in exactly the right position and master the final 
cut.

    3. Export the whole project as a stereo file and then open that file in 
Sound Forge.  Put a marker at the start of each track and then save the file.

    4. Use Niro to create an audio CD.  Import the file you saved in Sound 
Forge and choose the split at index positions option.  When you burn the CD all 
the tracks will be precisely where you want them.

    Hope this helps,

    Dan

      Hi all!
      I just wonder how to insert more bars for a project? Actually I'm going 
to do audio projects by the way and for example, if I have recorded one song 
from the very beginning of the project and I would like to continue add more 
songs to the same project, how can I do to make the project longer? well, let's 
say that I'd like to do a whole album in sonar called Rock'n'roll with Jorgen 
or so, and I'd like to add 10 songs into the same project, how can I make it 
long to do this?
      Regards,
      Jorgen!
