How to have songs that fade together have their own track ID
How to have songs that fade together have their own track ID
I am wondering if there is a way to have songs fading together have their own track id markers. So if song 1 is fading out and song 2 starts and overlaps the fade of 1 a bit can you have the track change to track 2? I have my whole album set with each song in it's own track then I can sequence the tracks as I like in the arrangement window. I am wondering is there a way to export the whole album with track markers?
Thanks for any advice.

You can do this after export when preparing the album with markers and meta-data. I'm sure someone has some application suggestions for this task. Sometimes mastering services can do this as part of their assignment.ejlif wrote:I am wondering if there is a way to have songs fading together have their own track id markers.

That is how you would do it. Been a while since I worked on fading tracks for a CD but I use Wavelab which has what is called an Audio Montage that is basically a multitrack sequencer for doing exactly this kind of thing. You load up each track on its own lane and then you can adjust overall loudness etc for the entire album. You simply drag the tracks to the correct fade positions, setup the fades then render the project out as separate tracks again applying the appropriate filters and dither etc. You end up with your multitrack WAVs but will now have the fade components of the prev/next tracks there and it should end up seamless when written correctly to CD.
There was also this ability in Winamp years ago where a plugin could take a playlist and write WAVs out with adjustable crossfades etc just like the old xfade plugin could mix songs live. I use to use that to make quick mixed CDs for parties etc back in the day.
Many other solutions but that is what I am familiar with.
