Crossfading on Mac?
November 24, 2003
All,
I’ve been used to using Sonic Foundry’s Vegas for putting together cross-faded mix discs on my PC. However, since Vegas isn’t available on Mac, I’m looking for something else that will let you slide audio tracks on top of each other then adjust cross-fades easily. I’m thinking maybe Soundtrack, or just using Final Cut Express, exporting one big AIFF file, then breaking it into tracks.
Does anyone else have a better idea? I don’t want to go with something like Traktor as I’m not intending to do this realtime…
Just use Roxios’s Jam. I think I sent it to you with Toast. It works really really well after a little practice
some thoughts…
If you’re simply looking to blend your tracks, use Nero to burn your CDs and mix the tracks.
If you want to beat match the tracks, I suggest getting mixmeister if its available for Mac. Not only does it function like Tractor, but it also allows you to build a pre beat matched set and burn it.
Hope that helps
Re: some thoughts…
Mixmeister looks like it might work, but it’s Windows only. I can use Vegas under Windows…
And, I’m not looking for standard crossfading like Nero or iTunes will do… I want to do a non-real time beatmatched mix CD. I think I’m going to need a tool like Soundtrack… Too bad the student version of Soundtrack is $250.
