Do you mean have the second song overlap the first so that there's a crossfade? This is unvelievably simple in Vegas. Drop the two songs on the same track, one after the other, then drag the second one back to the left so it overlaps the first. The more they overlap, the longer the crossfade is. That's all there is to it. Of course, you can also choose different ending and starting points for the songs by trimming them. This too is extremely easy: drag the end of the clip to where you want the song to start or end.

If you want one song to fade out to silence before the next song starts fading in then you'll have to insert fades. Hover the mouse pointer near the upper corner of the clip and you'll see it change to a quarter circle icon with a horizontal arrow in it. Drag the corner inward and you'll see a fade appear. The farther you drag, the longer the fade is.

Awesome thank you,

Crossfade i know how to do, I do that with my individual clips in Vid, the inset fade ill have to work on

The inset fade is quite easy as you'll see. There is also an envelope available for audio tracks in the same way the composite envelope is available for video tracks. For more complicated level problems you may want to experiment with volume envolpes...

Where do i go to inset fade?? I have my 2 waves that i want to make 1 fade out, then the other one fade in :D

drag the top corner of the audio event towards the middle of the event.
right click on the fade to select a different fade shape from the menu.

While simple - it's tricky at the same time. Go to the track with your wav file on it and first make sure that track is expanded vertically a good amount, that will help you find the Inset fader.

If you place your mouse over the top right(or top left for that matter) your cursor will change into a small semi circle and you can drag the point left or right. You will see a visual representation of this as you do it. Like ibliss said, after you've dragged the edge in, you can also change the type of fade by righ-clicking on the fade 'line' and choosing a different fade type.

Good luck!

If you really want the most control put each file on its own track and use a volume envelope on each one. This way there's no interaction so you set the start and end points to where you like and have say one fade down quickly and the other fade up slowly or whatever.
