To Crossfade Two Overlapping Clips
1. Select two overlapping audio clips. They need not be on the same track, but they must overlap in
time for the command to have any effect.
2. Choose Process > Audio > Crossfade to open the Crossfade dialog box.
3. Select an envelope from the drop-down list.

4. If desired, manipulate the curve as described in the table above. You can manipulate only the
curve pertaining to the first of the two overlapping clips; the second curve is automatically
adjusted so that the two curves constantly add up to 100%.
5. Click OK.
SONAR applies the two fades to the selected data.
See “Slip-editing (Non-destructive Editing)” on page 346 for information on non-destructive editing.
Audio Effects (Audio Plug-ins)
SONAR provides the ability to use plug-in audio effects. Some audio plug-in effects are supplied with
SONAR. Others can be purchased from third-party software manufacturers, and appear
automatically in SONAR’s menus once they are installed on your system. If you need help when
using a plug-in, press the F1 key on your computer keyboard to open the plug-in’s help file. Please
note that third-party plug-ins may not have a help file.
This section describes the effects that are included with SONAR.
Using plug-in effects is similar to using the audio processing commands off-line. The overall
procedure is as follows:
• In the Track view, right-click the FX bin and select an effect from the pop-up menu.
• Set effect parameters (or select a preset).
• Listen to the track and adjust parameters based on what you hear.
