I'm working on my ep, its almost done and all that jazz (edit: contains no jazz).
I've written most of tracks where the last few seconds layer on to the beginning of the next track.
Unfortunately, I'm at a loss on how you actually do that.
How do you actually do that?

You could always record the one song and then record the other, and line them up in your DAW so that the end of the first overlaps the second, then automate the first fading out while the 2nd fades in...and if there's any beatmatching involved, just make sure the peaks line up properly.

Tbh, it's a little unclear exactly how you're having them "layer on". Could you be more specific?

how are you recording? If you are using a mixer or just line in through the soundcard I would do it in a daw, like I would record into Garageband and go from there. Hope this helps smile

I always make my albums as one gigantic wave file, and use a program called CD Wave to split the tracks.

I just cut the last few seconds of the first song and paste it in a second track over the beginning of the next song.

I originally thinking something like this.

But I've been thinking about it, and this makes sense. I already have the individual tracks recorded and mastered(ish) in Garageband/.aifs 
I'll do this

Thanks everybody.

Sony Acid.

i remember the first attack attack! cd had the intro fading into the next song, but when you listen to the tracks individually the intro didnt have the fade in to the next song, it just ended as if the fade wasnt intentional. its probably not that hard to do but i wouldnt know lol

I get my impossible production techniques from Attack Attach CDs too!

oh man local boy admits to having the first attack attack cd
