It will however, remember to use the "apply Trimming" command in the edit menu before bouncing to clips. Other wise you won't have cut down the original length of the wave files. In other words, the original edits will still be there but, you won't be able to hear them.

BTW I don't have Sound Forge, so can only use Sonar to export to wave. Are you saying that I should highlight the section of interest, and create the wave file at that time, and not bother trying to create a separate track for each song?

Here's what I'm doing... I record an entire cassette tape to Sonar as a single audio track, so it's about 60 minutes in length. Now I insert several audio tracks to the project. On each track I paste a copy of one song from the main track, aligned to bar 1 beat 1. After I've done all this I delete the original 60-minute track. What I end up with is about a dozen tracks, each with one audio clip, all aligned at bar1 beat one. And of course they are all different lengths. If I select any of these tracks from beginning to ennd I will always be selecting from bar 1 beat 1 to the end of the longest track. So if I export it to a wave file I'll have various lenghts of blank audio at the ends of these songs. This does not work well when I try to burn a CD, as all the blank audio is copied. So the questions are: 1. If I select all the tracks from beginning to end with Ctrl-Enter-Enter and export to wave files how do I not get that varying lenght of blank audio in the wave files? 2. Or more simply how do I select any individual track from the beginning to the actual end of sound?
