Exporting Multiple Songs

Our audio cassette tape device converts your tapes as individual MP3 files, one file per side of

tape. Creating a project in Logic Pro X software and adding those MP3 files into the project,

you can split up the track and have individual songs exported.

Adjust the View

Most songs end, which makes the audio waveform that Logic displays typically flat-line. This is

usually where the original track ends. To make the Waveform easier to see, adjust the view

sliders in the upper right of the software.

Position the Playhead

Move the vertical line

(playhead/time indicator) into

position where it is in be-

tween tracks. This will be used

as the position that splits the

track in that location. Once in

the desired position choose

EDIT>Split>Regions at

Playhead.

Adjust these sliders to

change the size of view-

ing the track, both

height and width.

Continue to Split Regions

Continue to split Regions using the method until all of your songs are split. Once completed it

will be time to rename the regions.

Tip

If your goal is to keep these songs in Album Order, it will be helpful if you rename the songs

with the track Number first. For example: 01_Nameofsong, 02_Nameofsong… This will make

most applications keep them in the original track order.

Common Error

If you have the playhead in position on a track but are unable to Split Region at Playhead,

make sure that the region you are trying to split is your active selection. Do this by clicking

on the region until it is highlighted. After it is selected, try to split the region again. This error

commonly occurs when moving from one side of the tape to the next on the track.
