hello all,
i am transferring 180 minute cassettes to ProTools and also creating
one
preservation cd, and one access cd. The cassettes are of Stella
Adler's acting
classes. Usually, with 90 minute cassettes, I create an access cd
while
creating a ProTools session, using a marantz professional cd recorder.
However, with the longer recording time, an entire 90 minute session
would not
fit on one cd.
using protools, i want to divide the sessions into more manageable
sections and
also create tracks to help patrons better navigate a cd. how
difficult is
this? what equipment do i need? i've tried making an audio cd from
the
protools session using adaptec TOAST 4.1.1, but the CD's cannot be
read as
audio CD's.
will I simply need to play the original cassette again, stopping the
recording
when I want to start a new track, or should I pursue the other method?
It
seems like it would be far quicker to manage everything in a ProTools
session
after the initial capture than to continuously playback the original.
Or is
there a far simpler way? Am I thinking about this all wrong?
