Here's the Info, I hope you understand what I wrote... Sometimes the mind wanders late at night. If you need further explanation of steps just ask, wont be a problem.
F8 didn’t work for me either, plus I don’t use shortcuts in Adobe Audition, I like going through the steps and ensure I have done what I wanted to achieve.
In the main window of Audition with the file open, highlight the area of what you would like to be the first track. What I do before I start the process is to trim the head and tail of the track, I add 1/4 of a second of silence, but that’s me. Now with the area selected move your mouse to the bottom of the file where you see the yellow arrow, when you move the mouse over it, it will change to a hand icon, when this happens right click it and a menu appears with various actions, select “Insert into Cue List”. What you have now done was insert the file information with a beginning and an end point into the cue list.
After I have created my first track I like to move my cursor via the transport back to the start of the file. When you do this you will notice that under the yellow arrow there is a “blue triangle”! This is the icon for the end of a track, now via the transport again move the cursor to the end point of the track you just created, you will notice this is a “red triangle” and along side it on the top bar it says “CUE 01".
After you have moved your cursor to the end of the first track you created, highlight the are you would like to be track 2. You can do this by holding down the shift key and left click on the screen where you would like the end of the track to be. Now move the mouse over the yellow arrow and right click and select Insert into Cue List. Repeat the steps till you have created all the tracks needed.
Now open up the cue list widow (under Window on menu bar). You will notice that it gives begin, end and length time as well as type of cue. Highlight each cue and change basic cue to track, this is done on the lower portion of the cue list window. You can also preview the audio using autoplay, when you highlight a track it plays.
After you are done with the cue list window, close it.
Now it’s time to send the information to the CD view window. Click on the CD View Window icon, it’s the icon that looks like a CD. You will notice your track is in the window on the left, but also has a + next to the track name. Click on the + once and you will see the tracks information appear.
Highlight each track separately ( right click) and select Insert into CD project. You can do all at once, but you will have to make sure the order is correct, by doing each one at a time you wont have to double check the order.
Now it’s time to create the CD, bottom left you will see the “write cd” button. Push it and follow the menus, you will have a CD that was a continuous file, but now has individual tracks, great for live shows from the radio.
