12.If you want to record the entire side of an LP, or a continuous selection of songs, repeat steps 1-3 above. When you are finished, you will be able to see each song as a waveform, with silence in-between each song. If you stop the recording and then start again, the new recording will appear as new audio tracks below the previous recording.

If you want to separate the recorded audio into different tracks, drag the cursor over a song segment in the waveform window to highlight it, and then from the FILE menu select Export Selection As AIFF (Macintosh) or Wave (Windows). If you want to save it as an MP3 file, then choose Export Selection As MP3. Give the file a name when prompted. Repeat for each song segment.

13.You can remove silences at the start or end of the recording by dragging the cursor over the silent region and then choosing DELETE or CUT from the Edit window.

14.For a Macintosh, after you have recorded your tracks, burn them to a CD using the Mac OSX Finder, or with other Macintosh CD creation programs.

For Windows, use Windows Explorer or another Windows CD creation program to burn a CD.
