Sorry for the bad news. If you have Vegas Video 3.0, re-ask in the Vegas forum. Or hit me up at TeeCee@digitalfreaks.net. Boom... Is that you? Or are you a different DJ Mike Anthony? TeeCee

Wherever you split for a new track, you'll either have some of the previous song mixed with the beginning of the current song, or some of the next song mixed with the end of the current song, or some combination of both. If you want tracks, keep all the songs as separate .wav files without crossfading.

You aren't necessarily "cross fading", you are beat matching and mixing DJ style. You don't want to give away or sell a full length CD that's only got one 74 minute track. You want track markers so a person can skip from track to track. Some DJs drop tracks at the beginning of the mix to get the start of the song at the track marker, while others drop it after the mix when the last song is fully out. It's a DJ/dance club thing. Also, disk at once will not necessarily take the gaps out between tracks. That's why so many people like CD Architect. TeeCee
