If a remember correctly, Atomix has an adjustable curve on the crossfader. You may want to adjust it so it 'valleys' in the middle. I'm guessing that you are not going to do too much eq'ing, so this would be the best way to avoid really loud, distorted transitions.
Also, you can change the options so that Atomix will automatically cut the tracks after a crossfade, allowing to cut your tracks as you go instead of using another program to cut it up afterwards.
I always used to mix with the Atomix demo, so i had no way to monitor my cued track. So for every mix I did, I would go thru all the songs and write down exactly what time I wanted to bring the cue track into the playing track. I would also write down exactly what time the first beat was in my cue track. That way I could still have a decent sounding mix without being able to monitor.
I'd be surprised if you didn't become more interested in learning how to mix after you tinker with that program for a while tho. Initially I just wanted to make some basic mix cd's too and nothing more. As I type, I have a package of vinyls waiting for me at the Apartment Office. It only gets more fun after Atomix.
