Hi All,
I have about 20 dance music tracks I want to mix into a 'roughly' seemless single playlist. I dont have any DJ skills, I am happy for a computer to do it for me. This is for my own personal use (for listening to music when out running).
I would like to be able to combine the 20 tracks into a single track/mp3 file, ideally beat-matched. All of the 20 tracks are roughly the same BPM. They are all mp3 files, about 3 to 5 minutes long each.
I dont really want or need to be able to "live mix" the tracks together myself, the total playing time of the 20 tracks is nearly 1.5 hours.
I'm looking for an application that I can basically feed the list of tracks/files in the order I want them blended, and let the app do the work, spitting out a single mp3 file at the end with the 20 tracks combined into a single mix.
I'm happy to do a bit of playing around with setting the cross-fading parameters and timings, etc... but I dont really want to do that 'on the fly' and I have another mp3 editing programme that I use to split and trim each track to the bits that I need, so I have prepared all the tracks already - they are ready to go! Ideally I would like to be able to just set a single parameter for the cross-fading/blending e.g. overlap each track by 8 bars or whatever.
Gratefull if someone could let me know if Virtual DJ is able to do this or is it really designed for 'live' mixing e.g. at parties, events, etc?
Kind regards
T.

Yes Virtual DJ is designed for live mixing - it's DJ software! It does have an automix feature, but to get good results you will inevitably need to jiggle things around.
This is true of most DJ software and most automix products. Nothing compares to a DJ doing it live. That's why DJs still have jobs, and computers haven't taken over. :-)
Having said that, there are a few bits of software (or smartphone/tablet apps) that can string tracks together and do "smart" transitions between them.
There's Pyro from Serato & Mixtrax from Pioneer for starters.

I’d go with Mix Meister for something like that. It’s pretty simple to use and the results are always spot on...

Have a look at Mashup 2.
Pretty simple tool and easy to learn.

Ooooor, you could just have those 20 tracks you just mentioned, lined up in the automix pane on Virtual DJ; press record and then play. Allow your computer to do its thing for the 1.5 hours and then come back to see the results
