Well, you can, but IMO you're better off doing your editing before putting it on CD. Usually what I do - and I helped a friend digitize a boatload of LPs and put them on CD, which is similar to what you're doing - is record first, as a single track per reel/LP/cassette/whetever, then take the digitized recording and split it into multiple tracks, clean them up, and burn the individual tracks onto a single CD to recreate the album. That way, you're not burning something raw and unedited to CD, only to burn them again later when you're done tweaking them
Okay, let me see if I understand you here. I'm slow, so bear with me.
Usually what I do... ...record first, as a single track per reel/LP/cassette/whetever, then take the digitized recording and split it into multiple tracks,
Split it into multiple tracks onto what? The computer? So, using the software, I would record the cassette onto the computer as a single track. Then I would take that single, now-digitized recording and then split it back out into multiple tracks.
Does that mean you can re-separate or re-split the individual tracks back out into their original place -- like they were on the original cassette?! (Lead voice in center of stereo on track 1, drums on track 2, backup vocals on track 3, lead guitar on track 4, bass guitar on track 5, etc., etc.). This would be awesome, but I'm probably misunderstanding you.
...clean them up, and burn the individual tracks onto a single CD to recreate the album. That way, you're not burning something raw and unedited to CD, only to burn them again later when you're done tweaking them.
I'm confused. But it's not your fault. Let me take a break and take care of some business that's distracting me and I'll come back.
Most expubidently. Actually, I use GoldWave for the editing portion. Audacity will do it but Gold Wave has far more little fiddly-bits when you want to do a proper job of it.
