Digitizing Cassette as one file but showing tunes separately?

[mikehende]

Hey guys, how you all doing? Bud of mine has a bunch of cassette tapes with seprates tunes on them. He wants to have his cassette tapes digitized with sides A and B each digitized 'as one file' each but showing the tunes individually in OTSAV DJ, is this possible, if yes, how please?

The only way is to create the master copy as a WAV file and then use something like Goldwave to edit the master and cut it into separate tracks. You can then use Ots Studio to import the individual tracks and edit the names. If you want them in the same sequence as the original tape, make sure to add "01, 02, 03...etc" to the start of the track name so that Studio imports them the same way. Then you can strip the leading number off the name in Studio.

I do this with vinyl and it works very well, but, of course it has to be done in real-time so it can take hours to record, edit into separate files and then name each track.

That would be my preferred way to do this.

In theory you could import the complete side A file into Studio, then clone the item several times to create separate tracks.  Unlink the ACI chunk on each cloned copy and adjust the in and out points to play just the wanted track, then edit the title etc.

Thanks both you guys. Sorry only now seeing these posts, did not get the Notif.

What I am thinking is since he wants each side of the tapes 'as one file' then is there a way to have say Side A as one file in OTSAV then be able to expand that one file showing and playing if needed any of it's individual tracks? I am thinking that is what he is seeking.
