Just curious...

I like to keep the song intros on the same track as the song itself, but if there is a really long intro, or lots of tuning or crowd noise between the core of the intro and the start of the song I'll split it into two tracks and list the short intro as intro or banter, so you can skip to the music if you want.

I've done that a few times, where I get hung up usually is if I should split tracks when one song rolls right into another. If I can leave them as one track and it's not super long I'll leave them together and just note it in with > in the .txt file.

For me it depends on the importance of the intro and how long it is. If it's just "This is <title>," I'll leave it at the end of the previous track. If they actually talk about what they're about to play, then I might track it separately. I like my tracks to be about the music, so when I skip around in my playlist, I don't have to wait through an intro to listen to the song.

same here. if the banter is a minute or more, then I'll track it out seperately

I guess how you listen to it comes into play.

I usually listen start to finish, then never play a show again. I guess If I were searaching a disc for a few songs, I'd track at the song start too.

As far as songs that run together, I'll split them unless doing so splits a strong note or a drum beat. With really jammy shows I split the track as soon as I spot the theme shift from one to the next.

all banter goes on previous tracks and i usually start the new track when the song starts or at the beginning of a short intro.

for me, it really sucks if you're searching for a song on a disc and theres banter before the song starts so you keep skipping by it when you're driving and the roads are icy and its snowing and their are old people everywhere in cars and not in cars

I don't want to wait through intros either, so I always start when the music starts, but...why track banter separately? Do folks really skip to specific banter tracks?

stigs · « **Reply #14 on:** December 05, 2005, 10:30:39 AM »

its more the opposite for me. sometimes i just want the songs. in the case of the tracking i posted, most of those banter tracks are a couple minutes long.

Where do you mark your track splits?
