Markers? Options

[tromba]

I've had an mBox for some time and have usually recorded into Adobe Audition on my Thinkpad (live classical concerts). I'm trying to switch to Mac, but can't find how to do some things.

I can use ProTools (7.4) to make the recording just fine. Aside from some possible noise reduction (heating/air) all I generally want to do is put a marker at the beginning of each selection, combine the markers into tracks or regions (one click in Audition) and then save all these regions to separate files to put on CD (also one click in Audition).

Because I'm no ProTools expert, maybe Markers is the wrong word. Is there something comparable to this in ProTools? I know I can highlight a selection and save it, but it's very difficult to be at the exact beginning and exact end with just dragging the mouse....

I don't want to talk you into buying additional software but, since you are on a PC (thinkpad right?) you can totally do what you need to do with Sony's CD Architect. It's not expensive and, I actually port over all my tracks from a Mac to my PC to do just what you are talking about. It is a heck of a good value.

Thanks for the reply! I have Adobe Audition and have been using that with my mBox on the ThinkPad. Once I have markers in place, it's one click to combine them into tracks (or regions) and one more click to batch save them.

One of my reasons for using this is not knowing how with ProTools and the other is that in order to work at home and school I have to drag the mBox around just to get the software to work.
