Fades and crossfades
Arranging and editing
• To delete a fade-in from an audio clip, simply drag the triangular fade handle to the front
edge of the clip.
The filled blue triangle at the top of the clip handle indicates that dragging the top edge of the clip
handle will move the fade along with the crop. The filled blue rectangle at the bottom of the clip
handle indicates that dragging the bottom of the clip handle will slip edit the edge, but leave the
end of the fade-in where it is.
To create an automatic crossfade (real-time)
1. Click the Track view Options menu and choose Auto Crossfade.
2. Click the Track view Options menu, point to Crossfade Type > Default Crossfade Curves and
select the desired default crossfade curve types.
3. Select and drag an audio clip so that it overlaps another audio clip. You should overlap the clips
by the length you want the crossfade.
4. When you have the clip positioned where you want it, release the mouse button to drop the clip.
The Drag and Drop Options dialog appears.
5. In the Drag and Drop Options dialog, check the Blend Old With New check box and click OK.
6. The two clips now overlap with a crossfade, looking something like this:
A. First clip B. Fade-out C. Fade-in D. Second clip E. Crossfade
You can edit fade-ins and fade-outs. You can change the start, end and position of a fade. The
following procedures all demonstrate edits to a fade-in, but fade-outs work exactly the same.
To change an existing fade
1. Move your cursor over the beginning of a fade-out or the end of a fade-in, until your cursor looks
like this: .
2. Right-click to and select the desired fade type from the menu that appears.
