Title: advice needed from techo whizzes (making a CD) Post by: Claw75 on May 08, 2014, 10:03:48 AM Hi folks,
I need to put together a CD of a few tracks, and for a couple of them I'd like to mix up a few songs together. I don't even really know where to start. If anyone could help, or recommend some free idiot-friendly software, that'd be just super :) tyty Title: Re: advice needed from techo whizzes (making a CD) Post by: Graham C on May 08, 2014, 11:04:01 AM I'm not sure about mixing songs together, you may need some dj program for that. There's a few about but you can record CD's with no gaps between the songs if that's good enough?
For making a CD, there's plenty of easy ways. I tend to do mine in iTunes (just because I use it from time to time), you can make a play list by dragging the songs into it then simply right click and create a CD. I'm sure it's pretty simple in Windows Media player too which you should have installed on your computer already. Is copying a playlist to a media device (iPod, your phone, iPad, computer etc) and putting it through speakers not an option?

I haven't done that much on it though, so I don't 'really' know how easy it is to use. Title: Re: advice needed from techo whizzes (making a CD) Post by: KarmaDope on May 08, 2014, 01:39:40 PM Easier said than done depending on what you mean by mixing songs together.
You need professional DJ software to strip lyrics out of music for example I believe. Audacity can help but doesn't go very deep. Title: Re: advice needed from techo whizzes (making a CD) Post by: Claw75 on May 08, 2014, 07:17:44 PM thanks folks - I'm not too bothered about seamless mixing, but what I really want to do is get several groups of songs together on an audio CD, but have the continuous groups of songs listed as single tracks. Will take a look at Audacity - cheers Jon.
