Can someone crossfade two tracks for me?

[Andrew07]

For a burned cd? I have one track that I would like to cut into two tracks on the cd and have them fade into each other. I don't have any money and I don't have a burning program that can do this... For payment I have various outboard gear, plugins, the Komplete bundle, Ivory, or Melodyne that I could run audio thru if you'd like. If you live in Northern CA I could also give you some sweet lovin. Thanks

Are you sure you don't have software that can do this?

Really, all you need is to open up a session in Cubase SX3, and import your final mixed tunes. From there, setup all your tracks with the perfect amount of space in them. Go ahead and do all your crossfading and whatever else you intend to do. (I find it easier to put each song on a different track).

Then, render each track song down.

From there, you simply need to use a cd burning program that will allow you to burn with 0.0 seconds of gap between each song. Most burning programs will add 2 seconds in the beginning but will allow you to set the gap to 0 on the rest of the songs. I had a version of Nero that did this. The cd burning software that came with my Primera Bravo (my preferred cd burning software) also has this.

Vegas will do the cd layout with crossfades and burn the cd, but I find the cds burned in this fashion have more errors than with the stuff that came with my Primera Bravo.

If you really want me to do it, I can burn the files for you. However, you'll still need to make sure all the crossfades and such are already done and rendered down. I hate guessing what someone else is going to prefer on something as subjective as cd layout stuff.

Yup you were right dude

I think was just trying to do this very same thing but kept getting a click where the 2nd song starts. I had 2 songs fade together, and then created 1 long audio file from that, and then cut it where the 1st song should end and the next track should begin. No matter what I did, I would get a click when burning to cd though.

Theres a program called CD Wave that will help. The click is because cd's break down audio into discrete chunks that are I around 588 samples or something like that, and if you don't cut it exactly on the 588 sample mark, it will fill up the remainder of that chunk with 0's, causing an audible click.

You may be right, but I have two programs that have worked around this.

What I did was zoom in Cubase as far it would go and made a teeny tiny little cut. The stereo track was then cut into two pieces and I brought the second half onto a new track. With Cubase's parameter arrows I then zoomed in all the way and made sure they were exactly where the waveforms began and ended. Burned using 0 seconds between tracks and it sounds good
