i want to burn some drum kits/samples to cd then digitally sample to MPC but there is 50 individual drum samples as one wav file a piece. problem is when you try to burn a cd track 1 is one drum kick. cd can hold 99 tracks tops. i need a program you can combine .wav in a row i tried a wavelab but i said i need ac demcod to open the files i tried acid but i has an automatik timestretch to one tempo and the drumkits are og tempo at 300 ! on acid the samples various tempos dont work a computer has a cd burner but compatibility bull ish thats why im sticking to hardware i need software to do this any one know a simple program?

Not all of the files are .wav so i would have to convert also acid is the only program that i know that can open all of them. the computer is pc and doesnt have a zip drive or i would save straight to zip my external zip i use for my mpc is scsi mac i dont think it will work if i hook it up to the pc and i dont want to risk ruining my zip drive which is obsolete and out of production. im not going to save to floppy that is worse than putting one drum kick as 1 track on the cd. plus some samples are longer than what will fit on one floppy you cant save a long sample across multiple floppies without tryin to chop then fit them back together and have it sound perfect like is was before would take a year or would never happen . I just need a program to line up multiple small files to become one bigger file
all i want is
trak1 real drum kit 1 50 samples
trak2 real drumkit 2 50 samples
trak 3 real drumkit 3 50 samples
trak 4 bassline loops 25 loops
trak 5 piano loops 25 loops
trak 6 rhodes loops 25 samples
trak 7 various vocal samples 10 samples
etc
but i cant make track 1 because when i go to burn a cd sample 1 of 50 is track one, arrgghhhh why is this so difficult, every option i need on computer is not avaliable because no one but me has a use for it. there is seriously no way to make a folder and combine 50 individual files as one new file?? this is gonna take me months to get these sample digital without losing quality. individually building each file at a time in a row then save that as a file to burn as a track. might as well just use up 10 or 15 cds

if i buy a sound card with a digital output. can manufactures make a file type so the sample will not play out of the digital output, like i bought digital cable tv to sample old movies etc but the digital out put doesnt work unless its going into a surround sound system tv or vcr, it can tell my mpc is a recording device therefore will not send a digital signal. can i run into this same problem with certain samples??? if so i will not buy the sound card unless i know this for sure will it transmit everything that i hear out of my computer speakers regardless of file type, also files that you are not allowed to save to your computer but you can hear coming out of the speakers can they block that from transmitting out of the digital output on a computer??? very important question anyone know???
