Chopping a huge multitrack recording into songs

OK, my version doesn't work it still copies entire tracks!

However I have ended up in execatly the same situation as petealcock. We had a company ski party and the house band played two sessions. We had arranged with the soundguy to record each input separately so that I could do a remix. Unfortunately he screwed up the first session (with the best stuff 'natch) so I have 90 minutes of tracks (about 19) which I have split to separate folders for each song, and now I have the remixing to do. Does anyone have any tips for approaching this kind of work. I KNOW I have some vocal retuning to do, but what tools do you generally use for a live remix?

There are 2 ways of approaching this.

If you dont mind chewing up a bit of HD space then create a project folder and dump your original audio into that.
Then create a folder for each song and copy all your audio into each folder
Open up a session for each folder (song) and in MT trim all tracks to the individual song and move all top zero & lock down
Sure you are still working on the full file but....

2nd
Just open up a session and make a split after each song and mix one after another - it will give a lot of consistency in your mix this way.

Just a thought...

Hi, thanks runaway - I've kind of got that far, I was really wondering what are the typical tools you use for mixing a live recording? What areas do you usually need to address to get the best out of a live performance (within reason, they were pretty drunk!)

For example I have run the voocals through melodyne to get them moderately in tune. I have bused the drums and added some compression - and some fairly strict compression to the lead and backing vocals.

The tracks are sounding OK, I was just hoping for tips for things that can make a big difference

It really depends on how much track seperation you really have and how much time you want to spend.

I treat every mix the same live or studio and try & get the best sounding result I can

As far as vocal tuning AA already has the one of the best tools http://www.aatranslator.com.au/training.html 

Well, having tried AA, Autotune and Melodyne, Im afraid I have to go with Melodyne!
