Wavelab. Or just take any desktop audio editor that cross fades..
Load up cat and dog song. Slide them together until they cross fade, or however the software sets up a cross fade. When you are satisfied, export or render both cat and dog song as "catdog".
Then import "catdog", find the precise point where you want the cd marker, preferably on a zero crossing..
Split the catdog song at that point, and export back to two separate cat and dog songs.
Done.
Oh, make sure your cd burning software is set to "disc at once" or no gap between songs or whatever.
Awesome, thanks @dubhausdisco. Thats exactly what I'm looking for. I've never used any PC/Mac daws but I knew this sort of thing was possible.
I got into iOS because of how affordable all these apps are, now I'm finding myself buying ccks, midi controllers, I/O interfaces, PC programs, etc... WHEN WILL IT ALL END?!
@CSwinn glad you got your answer.
This app looks good. I've been wanting an app like this for a while. The level of functionality for $10 seems really great. Now I regret spending $10 on the comparatively featureless Level.24 app.
@cswinn - your need is a great feature request for mastering apps. In this day and age of digital singles, i think its not as common for artists to care how their songs flow from one to the other (sadly) on an album but that feature would be convenient for ios music makers. @dubhaus - what are your thoughts on the dithering from this app? @mgmg - i almost bought it last night but my mistake of thinking there wasnt a limiter saved me. I was up til 5 in the morning for some non-music work related stuff (no, not that) and the source of my grief was this business app wasn't working, so I'm growing more cynical with purchasing apps in general unless I know they're solid and can get the job done. At this point, I'll hold off until I learn more but it does look cool @ravenforest - There was another member who gave decent reviews for level 24's spectral analysis so unless this app can do the same, there could still be a place for it @nu2morrow - i feel ya man. I tried to hold out as long as i could but there are a few apps, specifcally Auria, that you'll need ipad for. You can go for the ipad mini which will be about $350 or maybe find a used one for cheaper. But, to try to save you some cash, unless you need that specific app, you can maybe survive without the ipad. i was also surprised at how many ipad apps I thought i would use on a daily basis havent been used that much at all. I really wanted samplr, borderlands but they havent been getting as much mileage. Cool apps, no doubt, but if it weren't for Auria, i mightve been better off buying an nice interface and buying my guitar back from the pawn shop instead. Although novation's apps and protein der klang have fun to play with.

@CSwinn you can sequence tracks on a PC / Mac with something like Wavelab, the thing that hasn't been mentioned is that you can set track markers, so that pressing skip on your cd player will go to the next marker. This allows you to do what you wanted in terms of tracks cross fading, or you can split a long track into several shorter track sections, etc. I don't know of any ios apps that give you this facility.
Just coming back to the Audio Mastering app, it looks really interesting but I'm holding fire pending a little more feedback.
I've spent some time today with this app, and will try to find time Sunday to do a video..but I will say this..this is one of the most elegant and useful and a dream to use apps I have ever used..seriously well thought out..all your mastering tools on one page..simple, straight forward..no learning curve,,just lets you master your tracks..no glitches..super smooth graphics..very fine adjustment..everywhere..amazingly acurate loop trimming....you will see anyway..but really there is no need to wait...just go get it....and the beauty is that although it has no AB support it does have ACP so its not a problem...
I've been testing it on some ambient songs I composed with BeatMaker 2, and I have to agree with @thesoundtestroom, this app is impressively capable and very well-made. Definitely worth the $10 if you don't use Auria or desktop software to polish your songs.
@ravensfrost - thnx for info. By any chance do you have Auria? If so, how does this app compare with the Fabfilter plugins? I want to like this app but want to learn more about the details. It claims to use "algorithms" used in professional software. What specific software is dev referring to? Also dont like how instead of calling it a limiter, he refers to it as a loudness maximizer. Not saying it isnt that as he could just be trying to make it user friendly to ppl who are relatively new to mastering but i'm also skeptical. Why not just call it a limiter or is he trying to target noobs (not saying im an expert)? What is dev's background in music software design? Based on my limited knowledge of the app and what i saw on itunes, not sure if it offers you full control or if it tries to offer one size fits all solutions for diff genres (ex. hip hop, okay lets accentuate the low end). Forgive me if i'm coming off negative. I tend to get this way when I'm really excited about an app's potential.
The FabFilter plugins in Auria are dreamy and definitely add a pro finish. I would say this new AudioMastering app is very intuitive and gives instant results. Paste in some audio and move some sliders to hear how the sound changes, or choose a preset as a start point. With AB markers, looping and fade in/out I am looking forward to this app joining the bus.
@gjcyrus You're focusing on the wrong questions. What you should be asking is "Does it provide all the features required to do the job well?" and "Do all the features work?".
I totally agree with @PaulB about the questions. These questions apply to every app. And I might add, "Is the price good for what you get?" Comparing FabFilter stuff with this is a little like comparing BMWs with VWs.
@gjcyrus This app does have a multi genre focus. There's is nine presets focusing on various genres.
Actually if we want to get really technical, we should be asking what are the acoustics of the room we are monitoring in. I also think it's a valid question to ask what professional software is he referring to since dev is MARKETING that as a benefit. If he didnt mention that, I wouldnt care.
But I agree with your points and you've inspired me not to buy it as Auria already provides much of these tools.
I should also add that one of my fave producers in the world, Alan Moulder, aims to mix his albums so that mastering engineer barely does anything. So if extreme sonic changes are required at mastering stage, mayne focus should be more on mixing instead of mastering.
"Loudness Maximizer" is not a new term, nor is it dumbing things down for noobs. The term is used by Izotope Ozone and Steinberg, plus others. It is usually refering to limiters working in conjunction with some form of harmonics saturation or other sonic trickery.
if you go to the developers site for the midi sequencer http://msequencer.blogspot.ca he links to the sound engineer he partnered with for the algorithms http://www.dmaxaudio.com/about for the mastering app.
It's a decent app...I haven't messed with it a whole lot yet, but it has some good plugins that make for a decent mix.
Sounds great.
I'd rather have a VW. Atl least their indicators work
Mixing is not mastering and vice versa. After mixing down your song, that's when you go into mastering mode. Basically, mastering is the process of achieving broadcast quality for your music. There's a whole heap of tools required for getting that broadcast quality, that is, making the music as loud as you can get it without distortion. Mastering is also a lot more than just making the music loud but that's a primary reason. This app is made for just mastering and that's a good thing. I use some serious AUs for mastering in Logic but at £6.99 this app should give iOS musicians a taste of audio mastering. Kudos to the developer for bringing mastering to iOS.
"Kudos to the developer for bringing mastering to iOS."/FrankieJay
Yeah, because there are no other apps and plugins with EQs and brick wall limiters right?
I agree the description is a bit weird. Effects based on what high end studios use (or whatever it said). What? And the other thing, it does claim to be the first app that let's you master a track. Again, what? The only difference I see between this and all other DAW-ish apps is that this one only handles 1 track at a time.
What happened to my text lol
ChrisG - Yes kudos to the developer !!!! This app is made specifically for mastering. You can
'Master' in Auria if that's your choice. But this app is made specifically for mastering your audio mix down and it costs a fraction of the cost of plugins in Auria. So yes I say kudos to the developer. So for people who cannot afford Auria or Cubasis, all they have to do is import their mix and CONCENTRATE on just achieving the best polished master copy. This app is a module designed for only one thing: mastering. That's the difference. People new to the concept of mastering now have an app designed specifically for that purpose. .....only handles 1 track at a time.
@ChrisG - I'm glad I wasn't the only one questioning the description!
@Mrnezumi - I'm creating a story in my head that my "noob" comment came off insulting. That was not my intention. I am a noob and will forever be a noob because I can always learn something new. Pls remember we're on the same side here and that i want affordable great tools as well but it's healthy to question things. Take MIDI for example. It basically allows one program to control another program's sounds. so supposed some app said it has the feature "Controller maximizer" instead of just calling it midi. wouldnt you be a little skeptical and question if the person selling you this respected your knowledge? Not saying this was the case of this particular dev, but nothing wrong with asking and verifying. Thanks for bringing up the point of izotope using that term. Ive heard of good things regarding izotope (from edm users) but ive never used it myself. The closest i ever got to mastering was a guy who used actual hardware gear in a very sound accurate mastering room. Many of my friends who mastered their own recordings really just made their stuff "louder" and while it translated well on their home systems, sounded boomy on other systems. There is very little talk of room acoustics on this forum but it is CRITICAL for mastering/mixing. Just as an FYI, 85 db is a good sound level to monitor your mixes but how many of us have an SPL meter? I had an old radio shack one but there are many apps like the new analyzer that have it. But if you look at the reviews of his other apps, there were questions of the accuracy. Looked cool as hell but what good is it if ain't accurate? The time ive spent on this forum, I have a greater level of respect for devs so its not like I want to bash their apps but rather ask good questions so that me, as a consumer, can buy a quality app, tell the world about how great an app is, then dev makes lotsa money (audiobus anybody?) instead of relying on a description. @FrankieJay - I agree with you too! If this app does what it says, and at the price, its a great deal! Thats why I'm even on this thread. If it wasn't worth it, I wouldn't be questioning it at all
85db is pretty loud for an extended mastering session. It's not that load in a moment or for an hour even but your ears will get fatigued by the end of an hour at 85db (even if you don't notice it). Indeed, when I'm mixing or mastering it's all about checking at different levels.
Also, consider your entire life! 85db is the kind of level that people working in factories deal with. It's not painfully loud or anything but if you do it a lot, it will fuck up your hearing over time.

For the price it's an exceptional app...and gives everyone a chance to have a crack at the basic process of mastering a track..or just giving individual tracks a bit of a punch...my video for this is on this forum in another thread and although its very hard to review any kind of mastering software or app in 15 minutes it does give a good idea of how it sounds..personally it works for me because all the tools are on one page and its nice and smooth

Oh and more more thing..I found that when mastering your song try and listen to it at many different volumes and also to a base mixdown and take it out to a car, play it on a stereo, a really cheap one to get a radio feel..and never do a final mix with just headphones...try and play it in as many different place as poss before you unleash it on the world..try not to get to bogged down with the science here too..the most important thing is too listen..if it sounds good to you it probably is...here endeth the lesson go forth and ROCK AND ROLL
