Changing the Fade Type
You can choose between four different fade types, in the Inspector’s Region Parameter
box or in the Arrange area:
• Out (Fade Out): Creates a standard fade out whenever the Fade tool or Fade parameter
is used.
• X (Crossfade): Crossfades the selected region with the following region when you use
the Fade tool or Fade parameter.
• EqP (Equal Power Crossfade): Results in an Equal Power crossfade. This minimizes volume
dips between audio regions, resulting in a more even crossfade between regions that
may be slightly different in level.
• X S (S-Curved Crossfade): Delivers an S-curved crossfade. The fade curve, as the name
suggests, is S shaped.
To change the fade type
Do one of the following:
µ
Open the Fade Type pop-up menu in the Region Parameter box, then choose a fade type.
µ
Control-click (or right-click) the fade or crossfade, then choose a fade type from the
shortcut menu.
Note: The latter three options can only be applied to two consecutive regions. Also note
that the Fade In (and corresponding Curve) parameters are made redundant when any
of the X, EqP, or X S options is chosen.
Changing the Fade Playback Speed
Logic Pro offers Speed Up and Slow Down parameters in the Inspector’s Region Parameter
box or in the shortcut menu of an existing fade area, allowing you to speed up or slow
down the playback speed of fades. In the Region Parameter box, the Speed Up and Slow
Down parameters share pop-up menus with the Fade In and Fade parameters.
