Years ago, I got spoiled with the RedBook CD layout, metering, processing (all realtime/non-destructive) with Samplitude.
You can layout the tracks however you want
Apply Fades/Crossfades (non-destructively)
Control the Gain of each song (non-destructively)
Apply processing independently (non-destructively) for each song
Advanced Metering
All of the processing is done in realtime… so you can audition and easily make changes.
The OP has Studio One Pro (which has all these features including DDP export).
He should check them out.
