I thought I'd try out the diskwriter option to create a crossfaded CD.
As a test, I started out with the following 6 songs.
Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer
Rusted Root - River in a Cage
The Calling - Whereever You Will Go
Kansas - Dust in the Wind
John Cougar Mellencamp - Walls Come Tumbling Down
Van Halen - Jump
I ended up with 3 wavs.
Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer.wav
The Calling - Wherever You Will Go.wav
Kansas - Dust in the Wind.wav
Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer.wav contains both Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer and Rusted Root - River in a Cage (crossfading the first into the second).
The Calling - Wherever You Will Go.wav contains just The Calling - Wherever You Will Go
Kansas - Dust in the Wind.wav contains Kansas - Dust in the Wind, John Cougar Mellencamp - Walls Come Tumbling Down, and Van Halen - Jump all crossfading into each other.
Is this expected? I'm guessing that, because some songs fade out on their own and have some silence at the end, that DiskWriter is ending that write operation and beginning again when there is sound.
I guess I'm just wondering exactly what I need to do to create a crossfaded CD with seperate tracks for each song. I've got this part done and there is crossfading. So presumably now I need to open up these three waves and split them up into the actual tracks?
Is there anyway that MJ could do this automatically at write time? Or create an option to specify track splitting or one large wav?
I'd like it if it could stop the write operation right before the next song is about to play, and start a new one when that next song starts. So if I hit next on my CD player, I'll get the beginning of the song I'm jumping to. (I'll still get the tail end of the previous song, but that's fine, I realize there's no way around that).
