Using MIDI notes to control parameters

I'm pretty sure the subject speaks for itself, but I'll explain what I'm looking for anyway.

Anyway, this VST i..

Inserting breaks between tracks - Red Book

Hello all, I'm trying to create a Red Book master in CD Architect and I'm stumped when it comes to putting 3 second breaks between each track. I have seen others adding a 3-second silence at the end of each wav file but wouldn't this show as part of the actual track time? Is there a simple way to ad..
