A friend gave me some cds with some songs and dont DJ or do much music stuff, but I told him Id help him the best way I could by putting together his songs on a cd. I heard theres software out there like sound forge, djmixer, etc that pretty much helps you put music together or edit it.
The question I have is all I want to do is dump the tracks into a software, set the beats per minute to what I want each track to match at, at the most accurate bpm set. I tried one freeware softawre but it didnt work right. It would save the bpm's for each track off balance so it still sounded off, plus the loudness for each track was either load on one track, and quiet on another. Is that what they call tempo??? So mainly Im looking for a bpm match and save setup softare and an auto sound volume setter or something where I can set the volume to each track to match the same so one track doesnt sound loader than the other, etc, and save the tracks to the bpm's I set it as, so when I put her tracks together, it will make my job a lot easier, rather than the cd sounding like shoes in a dryer if you get my drift. I suppose this is the cheating way on mixing tracks, but again, I dont DJ or mess with music like you all do, so Im experimenting and doing this to help out a chick. lol
Any help would be great. I have sound forge i think on one of my computers but I see that its an advanced piece of software mainly to edit music, but I dont know if its the type that will set bpm's for each track and save it like that. *shrugs*

soundforge is for editing and wont help you at this stage you need to find dj mixing software and practice first
Traktor is really the easiest software around, it can even do the beatmatching for you, the only thing you need to do is choose the tracks and move the crossfader to do a transition.

I mean for DJing at a very basic level. And yeah you probably need to prelisten and press play for the next track, but that's not hard either if you do it at a basic level.

DJ'ing with Traktor is exactly the same as DJ'ing with turntables or CDJs, minus the beatmatching (and plus some other bonuses like looping, etc.). You still have to cue, EQ, level, phrase, etc, etc, etc.

Yeah but you don't need most of that if you just want to mix a few tracks together for a CD for a friend, god damnit You can always learn more after.
