An application for producing mixed CDs?
Hey all,
i wanted to know if there's an application for producing mixed CDs - resulting in a seamless (ish) mix with tracks (any of your chosen songs).
Currently i use Jam 6.0.1 and it's not too shabby, BUT it only allows for cross fades. With the right songs and enough fiddling around it can produce pretty good CDs, but i want something that allows a little more.
For example, somethnig that will allow you to fade the song that is being mixed out to a certain point, then keep it at that level while introducing the next song.... eventually the second song sweeps off and the first can be faded out completely. Jam doesn't allow this because it only does constant fades... so there is no plateauing of the volume. Does that make sense?
Also, something that allows for the addition of vocal snippets on top of the tracks would be great.
The big advantage to Jam is that it doesn't need to copy the music files, it keeps them in your music library and instead writes a file that says when one song ends and the next begins.
Anyway, if anyone can list suitable apps - and i'll see what turns up - that'd be great. Thanks.

With the right software (Toast maybe?), you wouldn't have to actually break that big audio file into separate files for each track, you could simple burn it as one file and specify as part of the burn process where you'd like to place track indications.
Does anyone know if this can actually be done with Toast? And if so, what's the feature called? I have Toast 6 Titanium

Yikes, $230. Probably a little more than the OP was shooting for.

Yeah. It's one hell of a program, though.
