Steve, by way of illustration, think about writing an email and decide to - say
- delete one word. You would not press control-a before doing so. As Robert
mentioned in a previous post, if you select the whole track with control-a,
move to a point and press x the track from that point forward will still be
selected. When you insert your label, it will not be a point label but will
include everything between that point and the end of the track.
While often unnecessary, I sometimes select the entire section I want the label
to apply to. The benefit or disadvantage, depending on circumstances, is that
by selecting the label with alt-left or right arrow, that section is selected
and play will stop at the end of it.

Hello Robert,There you have it, you should hit Home or Control+Shift+A or Arrow left instead.
I thought I had it but obviously I'm not quite there yet. I
understand how the songs pile up. What I don't understand is what I'm doing
wrong.
To start I select the track with Enter then hit Control A.
I hit X at the
beginning and play begins. I stop play with Space and Hit Control B
and type in the name of my first song and hit Enter. I hit Space to
resume play on the first song. At the end of the song, I hit X and play
stops. I hit
Control B and type in the name of the second song and hit Enter. I hit
Space to play song number two. At the end of song number two, I hit
X. I hit Control B and Type the Name of song number three. I go on
like this until I run out of songs. At what point should I be hitting
Home? I did one album this way and it seemed to turn out fine. In
that case I did not hit Z after X. Would that make a difference? The
600mb album in question is the first one I inserted Z after X on. I
like this method of splitting if I can just iron it out. Any help is
appreciated.
Steve

The reason is probably that the whole track was selected when you
added the labels:
1. whole track selected
2. z, control+B ->creates a label for the whole album 3. play 4. x ->
stops but adjusts only the left side of the selection, the right side
is still at the project end.
5. new label -> whole album without the first song.
As you can imagine, this adds up.
If the album had 20 songs, you would end up having saved 210 songs...
The lesson to be learnt, always press home before starting the
labelling process.
Arrow left or Control+Shift+A work also, especially if you don't want
to start the process at the beginning of the album.
Cheers
Robert

Andrew, Lord only knows what I did. I always export my recordings
after amplifying as mp3 as one file in case I mess the cutting
process up like I often do. I simply did this one over again and all
is fine now. I'm doing better with labels now thanks to you and
Robert. If this craziness happens again I will post. Take care.

Steve, did you intend to include a link to the album? Hard to
comment without hearing it.

Hello All, I've recorded an album, the amplified mp3 recording is 89MB.
After splitting with labels and exporting multiple the finished
product is 619MB. I did insert Z after X when splitting the tracks
as suggested by Robert in an earlier post. Any thoughts? Thanks in
advance. I do recall someone having something similar to this a
while back.
