Hello,

Is it possible to automatically record a vinyl with several tracks and export it in as many files as tracks ?

No. You must record track by track, or in one long track including the whole album, and then splitting into separate tracks or adding track indexes with software that is capable of doing it.

Thank you Kalle,

I can record in one long track. How to split in separate tracks with SONAR X1 LE (if it's possible) ?

I don't quite understand exactly what you want to do.

However, with a vinyl LP..... you can record the audio out put to Cakewalk easily. 

You can record one track at a time, to one big project on different tracks  or to a totally different project for each song on the LP.....or let it record the entire side of the LP and then use the "split" function to divide the one big track into smaller clips for each song. 

It's up to you..... but if that's what you are talking about ...yeah... it's easy to do. 


To split the big track..... simply position the time line indicator (The NOW marker) to the area between the songs, select the track and right click on the track at the NOW marker. A window opens and SPLIT is one of the options.  Complete all the other splits and you can drag and drop those slips into additional tracks. Create the other tracks first. 

Thanks Guitarhacker,

I understood. But, I hoped that it would be possible, for example, to select the big track, then tell to Sonar to divide it, for example in 5 tracks (because it could perhaps determine where are silences between songs ?). It's not easy to localize the separations between songs.

I found the solution (for beginners, like me) : When you are recording your LP, press M (on your keyboard) to insert a marker each time between two songs. At the end, select the big track, right click on the track, split at markers, then do as Guitarhacker said.

That marker-method is good.
One easy way, as well, if you're sitting by the player all the time anyway, is simply lifting the stulys up when a song ends, arming the following track, lowering the stulys and recording the next song on a new track. It doesn't matter if you need to move turntable arm a bit backwards, for example, as it's quick and easy to cut out any unwanted stuff from the audio track.

Thanks Kalle,

But because I have to named each track, now I don't use several tracks, but only one. I open the view Marker, start the recording, put marker, then, at the end, split the big track, click on each marker (that automatically select the song after the marker), export it, and so on.
