Question about track list sequencing. .

Your Avatar
Submitted by anonymous on

I'm recording a demo through Adobe Audition 3.0. There is one song that I have feedback in at the end. I want to know how I can blend in the next song on the track list so the feedback from the first song is heard as a transition instead of a silent pause in between tracks. What software do I need and how do I do it?





-Thanks for any help

Are you wanting to eliminate the space between tracks or are you trying to cross fade the tracks?



If you want to cross fade the tracks then you do need to combine the files into a single track and create an Index point (f8 while playing).



When you burn the CD you can change the options regarding space between tracks. The first track usually has an empty 2 seconds.

Just mix the songs like you intended and have the first song end with the feedback for the time you see fit.



Then reimport those mixes into another project, place the second song where the feedback from the first song starts and mix them like two separate stereo tracks. Now they will become one stereo wave file. This step will overcome your CPU issues.



When in Nero CD burner you can later insert the marker where the next track begins.



If you have an app like Sony's CD architect you can just mix the songs and place them in there, no need to do a separate mix. I haven't looked that deep into Nero, but I think it can't do it like CD Architect can.



Make sure none of your steps is in lossy formats.

Audition has the ability to put songs in whatever order you want. However, if you have already broken your session and saved the tracks individually you won't be able to crossfade them without doing so in a separate mixing session. CD Architect won't do it either.



If the tracks are already mixed down to 44.1/16 then leave them that way. "Mix" them in a session at those parameters with whatever crossfade you desire. Now bounce this "new" track to its own file. Open the new file and add a track marker at the appropriate point.

Stay at 32 bit as long as possible. Dithering down to 16 bit should be the very last step you take.



You should be able to create your montage and save/export it to a 16 bit montage file which you can then burn to cd.
