Audio issue

I am new to this program so i apologize for my ignorance. I am trying to create a video slideshow and I can't get my songs to fade into each other. I just am trying to eliminate the dead air at the beginning and end of each song. any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

I think you would need to do that sort of editing in a proper audio editing program. If you have the Nero suite, it has a module called Wave Editor, which is what I use for this sort of job. There is also a freeware program called Audacity which quite a few users here use.

A fast and dirty way of doing it wholly within Video Studio, I suppose, would be to use the two audio tracks, as long as you don't have any voice overs or other sound effects used with the slideshow. Put song 1 in the music track, and then, almost at its very end, put song 2 in the voice track so that its start just overlaps the end of song 1. And so on alternating for the length of the slideshow... You could add fade ins and outs for each to make it all a bit neater.

But I still prefer the finer control you would get using a proper audio editor.
