You know how The-Dream and most recently, Ty$ make their songs seamlessly flow into one another? How is that done?

Say for instance I was working on a project and I wanted it to sound more cohesive by making the songs blend into one another

Or an even better example.. Doggystyle.

Also, are there any other projects that do this? I’d like to listen to them.

You can usually set how quickly you want songs to transition, and if the beat lines up it’ll sound seamless if you transition instantly

I’d imagine its usually done by mixing all tracks in one project and segmenting them after the mix so that they blend into each other. Seems annoying

Also wanted to know this

you can youtube this probably if you want to know the specifics

but you basically pull up the songs in your Daw

and you gotta be really meticulous about start and end points

and if you wanna take it a step further you gotta be nice with song structure and arrangement to make it sound fully cohesive

back in the day, CDs had a setting for this when they were burned

now in the streaming age, i’m not 100% sure, there are varying way to go about it

You put the mixdowns in the same session and just let them play into one another

Good thread

Are you asking how to arrange a song so they transition into each other lol?

Personally I go on Audacity and export couple times till i fix the "skip" so it's a smooth transition

Trial and error

TLOP4 out now

That’s mastering not mixing

Mastering is just getting a single song to a finished point, making it ready for distribution and getting it sounding ready and finished. What OP is talking about is just clever sequencing,

You put every finished mastered track in pro tools next to each other, and have them overlap so the end of one song bleeds into the start of another.

But on Ty’s album it’s that along with clever song structure because they always build up and tease towards the next thing.

The-Dream has it on some albums

Just make sure the outro of a song matches or "fits" the intro of the next.

There's a huge variety of ways to go about it. From the instrumentation itself, a vocal, foley sounds such as static, quick cuts etc.

Well I can tell you its a lot harder to do on tape

i was just thinking about getting a tape machine too

hasn't considered this

good luck with that

it's simply crossfading the two mixed tracks. I feel like any DAW can do this, you just

more subtle transitions is essentially the same, you just do a shorter amount of the song (like half a bar or a bar).

Copy both tracks end and start and crossfade it.

nothing extraordinary.
