Re: CD track marking

[Steven Smolian <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

Try Audio Cleraning Lab by Magix- I paid about $ 50 for mine at Best Buy.

My old version worked at over 4 seconds.  Drop in 5 or 6 second silent
breaks in your original signal.  Magix will automatically make index points
when you invoke the proper spell:  go to CD along the top bar.  The drop
down menu offers "Set Track Marker Automatically."   Do so.  Make your CD
through the program, also simple.

I haven't yet tried the upgrade, so I'm not certain that 4+ seconds still
trigers the indexer.
