Title: Cross-fading in burning
Post by: Baltmann on June 29, 2002, 06:35:02 pm

One of my favorite features in MJ is the cross-fade playback.  Is there any possibility in the future to implement that feature when burning a Cd?  that would be the holy grail as far as I'm concerned as only WinonCD can do that.  Easy CD Creator does a limited version but you will not actually get two songs blending together, just a fade out and fade in.  Please make this happen MJ!!

You can already do this...

1. Setup a Playing Now playlist (of 80 mins or less)
2. Turn on the Disk Writer Playback setting (under Options...set the output location too)
3. Turn on or off various DSP settings (your preference)
4. Play the playlist...MJ will created cross-faded .WAV files on you hard disk
5. Import & burn an Audio CD the cross-faded .WAV files now


I do this all the time for perfect, cross-faded burns of live/concert MP3s...works great!!

Thanks for the info Z. I also was trying to figure out how to do that.

Listening to: 'Hard to say' from 'Innocent Age' by 'Dan Fogelberg' on Media Jukebox

Won't you just get a 1 track CD then ?

Btw, can MJ make Music CD without any gaps (have not yet played with the burning options (use NERO for that).

Henrik,

NO...MJ builds as many tracks as were originally in you Playing Now playlist (they are just cross-faded now).

Yes...MJ can make audio CDs without 2-seconds gaps, but only if you have the 'Use Generic driver' option box unchecked (and, then, the 'Add two seconds gap between audio tracks' unchecked too).

You have to set the Cross-Fade playback setting and the duration!!  I assumed you knew that (sorry).

bigcuedaddy
Are you getting that final step right?

Have you used the disk writer to make new wave files???
The above step is not part of the CD burning process it is a playback option.  You "play" a set of tracks and rather hearing the sound the output is instead a series of a .wav files written to your hard disc (disc writer).  It's under Options>playback>output.

Have you then found the freshly written .wav files on your HD and imported them into MJ???
Have you then selected the newly imported, recently created, crossfaded wav files and pressed the Burn CD toolbar button???
Have you then selected "Audio CD" and used a brand new CDR?

HI Baltmann , if it's any interest to you i use a program called 'MIXMEISTER'to mix my tunes , though you have to buy the full version to export music to a cd.

Got it!  you just have to do a brand new, audio cdr burn, of the playbacked optioned, freshly written, newly imported, recently created, crossfaded wav files.  Is that correct?

Suggestion, make this the first of a new MJ Wizard list.  You click the Wizard.  You get several all-in-one choices.  The first is the quoted text above.  Then you just sit back and let MJ request any necessary info from you, and presto!  You have a brand new, audio cdr burn, of the playbacked optioned, freshly written, newly imported, recently created, crossfaded wav files!!

Matt said above that this are still separate tracks?  So you can play them in you car and still use next/previous track button?? Will each song begin as two overlapped songs or will you miss the beginning???
