Heyy guys,
For a event im doing in a few days, i need to be able to automatically crossfade songs, from a playlist. Ive tried using Winamp with a crossfading plugin, works, but its a nightmare, as it opens 2 players at the same time and fades between them! Tried using itunes, (which i love anyway) and for some reason the song it fades into, not out of, jumps/goes a bit choppy. Ive never had this happen before, ive tried dropping the crossfade time and it makes no difference. Any ideas? Or alternative software? Cheers, MCTW |

Think Foobar2000 can do this pretty easily, not sure though.

Software crossfaders tend to be a bit jumpy, it's pot luck really, I've had this with iTunes a lot before.
I would have thought though if you're doing audio for an event you'd have some decent kit including one if not several devices capable of crossfading a signal? My Cortex DMIX-600 does it beautifully, but with a £400 price tag..

i wish i had the kit to do it! I usually use a 24 channel mixing desk as it is, but this still require dual inputs, aka 2x laptops etc, to effectively crossfade without specialist kit. Usually i do this, but this time it really needs to be automated, hence the issue.
I believe the problem with itunes is that the laptop im running it off simply hasnt got the guts to do it, (1.6ghz Atom, 1gb Ram, XP Pro), as it seems to work fine on my more powerful desktop. And thankyou Carbon, with a downloaded plugin, foobar2000 works flawlessly! And Fordy, thats a seriously nice bit of kit, jelous much! |
