I am having a problem with burning CD's.

I can record a tape as a large wav file, and then I can insert cue
points to split the tracks. Yet then when I load up my CD burning
software to record the file, it only ever burns as one big file, the
cue points dont come acrosss.
any ideas ? I'm struggling with it

I have heard of indexes and tracks, but not cue points on a CD. One can
set a cue point on a player, but never saw one on a CD.

Strange, I never had this problem with my Ampex.

Since you don't mention what kind of computer you are using, what
application you are using to edit the file, and what application you
are using to burn the disc, or if there is anything you are doing to
copy an EDL from one application to the other (if indeed you are using
more than one application), it's kind of hard to suggest anything.
You are using a computer, right?

What software are you using? Sometimes you have to take one more step.
I use Nero, and when I put in cue points, I have to tell it to split
the big file at those points so it looks like one file for each
"track." Then it works. I had that same problem the first I tried it,
too.

This question was just answered one of the Adobe Audition forums. Some
burning software doesn't support cue lists, but Nero does. However, Nero
appears to demand that the cue list be in a separate file from the .wav
file. This is of course inconvenient beause it'svery nice to have all the
information in one file. The .wav file format and programs like Adobe Audion
support creation and management of .wav files that contain cue list
information.

Fortunately, there is a little program that mediates this interfacing
problem with Nero. It's called CueListTool and its a freebie. CueListTool
separates out a cuelist file that apparently Nero will accept and do the
right thing with.

I haven't experimented with this because CoolEdiit 2.1's CD writer plug-in
supports cue lists that are embedded in .wav files. I hope that Adobe
supports it soon.

If PC, Sony CD Architect V5 is possibly the most intuitive and easy app for
laying out a CD. Doesn't do CD-TEXT though.

CD's have Track Marks and SubIndexes. Track marks are what is on most music
CD's. Many CD players do not even support Cue or SubIndexes. These are
mostly used on Radio Station Commercials CD's with parts of the donuts
marked with track and others marked with subindexes.

Tracks and Indexes. Classical music often has indexes implemented on
different sections of a piece (or should).

In CDA you place the cursor and hit "T" for a track marker, or "I" for an
Index marker, or on-the-fly while playing.

Adobe Audition/CE works in a similar manner. It supports three kinds of
markers:

Cue list element
CD Track marker (also a cue list element)
CD Index marker (also a cue list element)

You can change the type of a marker and edit it's properties once it is
established.

Cue list elements from individual track .wav files are visible in multitrack
view. The mixdown file inherits markers from the .wav files that it is
composed of.

I think we have a failure to use the correct term. I would be very
surprised if the original poster (Colin) wasn't talking about regular
track index points, the thing that makes the CD player display the
track number and allows you to jump around.

I'm sure several people who believe it's possible that he knows what
he's talking about will tell me that I could be wrong and shouldn't
make assumptions.

So let's unconfuse.

Track Markers are what indicate the track numbers on CD.

Index Markers are additional positional markers that can point to parts
within that track, and are accessed (if encoded) by the 'Index" buttons on a
CD player , if implemented there).
