your answer
i use a little known program for mastering cd's and making mixed sets - its called multiquencer, and is the cats bullocks. I am extremely familiar with live mixing tools on the computer - ie pcdj / traktor, and use them when doing live sets, but when I want to take the time to put together a cd and get it down perfect, multiquencer does just that.
Now in response to your problem, a lot of people don't realize that mp3's have a millisecond of dead air at the end of any track. It goes largely unnoticed because even when queing up songs in winamp, winamp takes a second itself between tracks, and that extra millisecond of dead air from the last mp3 gets lost in the winamp 'dead-air'.
In order to fix this program rightfully, take your mp3's, convert them to wave format (which will allow you to see waveforms in multiquencer) then import them. Zoom in so a second of song takes up the whole screen, hit cntr-w to view the wave forms, and line up the two songs so that the end of one sound connects ass to front of the next. (You will be using 2 music tracks for this process, alternating one to the next as milliseconds of dead air overlap each other). As long as the song files are all from the same mix, you shoudn't need to adjust volume or anything else. When you have your cd all planned out, save to wave file, convert that fat bastard to a mp3, and you are good to go. If you have any questions, just pm me, Multiquencer is a tough program to find - and I might be able to help you locate it online.
