I need a program to continuously fade songs

[Harkonnen]

Does anyone know of a program that will organize songs so that when I burn them on a cd it will be a kind of continuous mix. It will fade at the end of a song and continue on to the next track, without having any silence in between tracks. Thanks

Nero 6 can do this

If you add tracks in Audio CD mode, then highlight the tracks and choose properties, you will be given the option for setting a duration in seconds for cross fading.

I cant remember if you can do this with 5.5, but its worth having a look.

Also take a look at CD Wave . Do a search for CD Wave on Yahoo or Google. It cuts large .wav files with the breaks intact but with NO two second gap in the final CD.....not sure if it has fade or not.

If you don't want any silence in between tracks, just change it. With Nero, right click on each added track, and change pause from 2 seconds to 0 seconds, then ok. Do it for all remaining tracks in your project. Note: the first track must have a 2 second pause setting according to the standard.

Or if you have music that was copied incorrectly, eg. 4 seconds pauses in between, click on the checkbox to remove silence at the end of each track. Then do as above as well, and you fixed everything.

Using fades to make a continuous mix is not recommend because it sounds bad with different songs, especially if the end of one has a fast drum beat while the next has its own different beat but with different tempo. Its just crap. If this is still what you want to do, let me know, I have a good, fast workaround that can mix the music more effectively then you adding a 2 sec or 3 sec fade.

There are plenty of proper dj mixing programmes out there. I use OTSDJ ( www.otsdj.com ) as it has full built-in audio processing and can also save mixes out as wav files.

The easiest program I use is Acoustica's MP3 Mixer under www.acoustica.com

Recently found that Sony's SoundBlast is better at transitions like a DJ mix. You can adjust the pitch with this program without the singers sounding like chipmunks.

Both can do fades easily but the first program is the easiest to use.

What's the quick workaround?

I use a program called My Mix and it's pretty damned cool. Here's a link:
