DJ ing with MM?

Post by gimmeagig »

Hi,
I'd like to be able to do simple DJing with MM. Mainly I want smooth transitions from one tune to another and at the same time still use the Enhancer to make the MP3s sound better.
Is there a plugin for that?

Check out this FAQ on Gapless Playback.

I didn't realize that crossfading could be done with the Direct sound output.I tried to use sqrsoft and while it works OK on the default setting, the program gives me a message "invalid floating point operation" as soon as I try to configure the settings.I don't know why that is happening.
I will have to fiddle with the Diect sound settings to get them to sound like a DJ fade.Any suggestions on that beyond the FAQs?
What is the differences between crossfade and gapless anyway.I'm a little confused by that.Is it that the first tune comes to complete sllence before the next one starts?

Gapless eliminates silences, in other words it cuts playback of a song when it becomes to soft and starts the next song.
Crossfading will fade out a song while fading in a new song. Crossfading normally sounds best with similar music (genre and BPM).

Hi Peke,
I checked out the post about installing the software and decided not to give it a try.It sounds way too complicated.
Thanks anyway

No problem, right of choice.

I know that it looks confusing but due to copyrights I could not include them in installation package. If you know what to do it will took you 3 minutes to DL and copy to folder.
