Digitizing a vinyl record means analog to digital conversion. With Nero WaveEditor you have an easy to use free tool allowing you to do A/D recording of your vinyl record, plus automatic track splits, as well as single file export in one go.
This FAQ deals with splitting tracks and exporting individual music files of already digitized files.
Track split and exporting to individual tracks in Nero WaveEditor
If you already have recorded a digital track that has all the different music tracks included in one piece, it is easy to open your audio file in Nero WaveEditor, and split and export individual tracks afterwards.
Open Nero WaveEditor and your recorded track via the top menu. Your track will be displayed in Nero WaveEditor timeline with a waveform. In there, you can already visually identify where the individual tracks start and end. With the + and – buttons you can zoom in and out.
There are two ways to add track splits
1. Automatically
Go to the menu bar and select edit > âPause Detectionâ. Set the dB value to minimum (-30 dB), leave the rest of the settings as are. Try out some different settings, if your results are not optimal.
2. Do it manually
Just use the âInsert track splitâ function in the edit menu in combination with the cursor position on the waveform. Each split will create a new track.
For checking each split, zoom in to see the detailed waveform view. If you are not satisfied with the position, just touch the set track split with the cursor and move it slightly left or right. You can also use this function after you have added track splits automatically.
Export your tracks as individual files
In the edit menu go to the bottom entry âSave tracks as Filesâ.
In the coming up window, you can rename your tracks manually. Within the selectable audio file formats for export, you have many options: besides MP3 and AAC even lossless formats. Select the folder where you want to save your files and click ok.
When the export of multiple single files is finished, you have many options of how to utilize your music tracks with other Nero applications:
Import your tracks into Nero MediaHome library (and use Gracenote Music Technolgy for automatic title naming and cover art)
Move your music files including song information and cover art to your mobile device via WiFi+Transfer App connected to Nero MediaHome on your PC
Import your tracks into Nero Burning ROM to burn an Audio CD (and use Gracenote Music Technolgy for automatic title naming and cover art)
Import your tracks into Nero Burning ROM to burn your music files to a Jukebox CD, DVD or BD with higher storage capacity*.
Digitizing an LP means analog to digital conversion. You can do this in Nero WaveEditor and import your digitized tracks to Nero Burning ROM if you want to create an Audio CD.
If your digitized LP track includes all the titles of your vinyl record, Nero Burning ROM provides an option to split these before burning to Audio CD. Open Nero Burning ROM and select the project template Audio CD. Import your digitized track into the project.
Under the menu âFiltersâ you will see âNo Filterâ. Click on the empty filter button to get to the âAudio Track Propertiesâ window. Click on the second tab âIndexes, Limits, Splitâ. Zoom into the waveform display and select a position with the mouse cursor, then click âSplitâ. Do this for each track.
In the example, you can see seven tracks created form the digitized single track.
Click âBurnâ to proceed burning your Audio CD.
‘DriveSpan App’ on your mobile device is the central control unit for connecting sources and a target wireless to your consolidation scenario, and for executing the consolidation.
If you are making use of a Mac including internal and attached external storage, ‘WiFi+Transfer’ is in charge of connecting and exchanging data between your Mac (wireless or via LAN) to DriveSpan App running on your mobile device.
Before using a Mac
Install ‘DriveSpan’ from Google Play or Apple App Store to your mobile device
Make sure to buy the function of integrating your Mac into consolidation via ‘DriveSpan In-App-Purchase’
Download the free ‘WiFi+Transfer’ tool from Apple Mac Store and install it on your Mac
Selecting a Mac and available external storage
Make sure your Mac is switched on and uses the same network as the mobile device, on which  ‘DriveSpan App’ is running. Press on the add source symbol on DriveSpan home screen and in the device selection window, select your Mac.
Press on the Mac name listed here. If the permission to connect to this Mac was not set so far, ‘DriveSpan App’ will send a 6-digit access code to your Mac. Type the given PIN into the interface showing at ‘DriveSpan App’ and press ‘Access’. Your Mac is set for connecting with ‘DriveSpan’, now. If you are using the same Mac ever so often in connection with ‘DriveSpan App’ on the same mobile device, you will not have to enter the PIN, again.
Allow access to internal/external Drives
If you want to select internal partitions or attached drives in your Mac for consolidation with DriveSpan App, WiFi+Transfer needs to grant permission for your Mac system, so that you can add the respective drives as a source or target for consolidation in a second step within DriveSpan App.
1. Click on ‘WiFi+Transfer’ tool showing up at the top of your Mac Desktop. WiFi+Transfer will list available internal or external drives. Click ‘Grant Access’ to the device that you want to use for consolidation – in our example we selected the personal Mac folder ‘april’ .
2. The Mac Finder will open with the prior selected drive auto listed. Click ‘Grant Access’ again to finally approve the selection.
3. WiFi+Transfer tool will show you the approved device for consolidation, now.
Within Drive Span App on your mobile device you can now add the granted drives as a source or target for your consolidation.
If you do not change the drive setup in your Mac, next time you integrate your Mac into the consolidation with DriveSpan App, no further action is required.
2. Do it manually
For checking each split, zoom in to see the detailed waveform view. If you are not satisfied with the position, just touch the set track split with the cursor and move it slightly left or right. You can also use this function after you have added track splits automatically.
In the coming up window, you can rename your tracks manually. Within the selectable audio file formats for export, you have many options: besides MP3 and AAC even lossless formats. Select the folder where you want to save your files and click ok.
