Default DJ software with specific options?

I don't know anything about specific DJ software, but I can't imagine a
DJ wanting the same fade on every song, so I'm not surprised that you
can't find that feature.


This is for personal preferences, not as a DJ, which is something I am
not.

As far as EQ. compression, and limiting, you
might find a "mastering" feature that makes its best guess as to what a
song might need to make it sound more like a target song, but usually
this is done by ear with the DJ getting his own sound.


I'm beginning to come up with that conclusion.


Honestly, I think you're either just being too lazy or you're expecting
AI to take over your job prematurely. With all the things you've been
asking for, it sounds like you have a good idea of what you want to do
with the material, but you should be doing it like an engineer. You can
open a song in an editor program, find the end, highlight one minute
back, and press the Fadeout button. You might find that it's fading too
fast or too slow and you'll want to try a different curve.


Probably this is what I'm going to end up doing, but it's going to take
a lot of time with the number of songs I have.


You can do this in Audacity, but I'd suggest Sound Forge Studio. It's
$59, but they have a "365" version that's a subscription version,
$5/month with the first month for $1 so you can try it out. You'll
probably like it.

or a better deal is last year's version, Audio Studio 12, for $23 from
Amazon.com
