Virtual Projects (VIP):
This option offers a convenient way of adding a real-time
crossfade to two objects in a VIP track. Both objects need
to be selected. The best way to select the two objects is with
the Object Lasso. The Object Lasso is used when starting
the selection in an empty area and dragging a marquee over
the two objects. The next step is to display the Crossfade
Editor with Edit->Crossfade Editor.
The length of the crossfade can be specified in different
length units or can be transferred from the selected range.
Make sure that enough material is available before and after
the object borders to create the desired crossfade length.
Available fade-in and fade-out curve types are Linear,
Logarithmic, Exponential, and Sine/Cosine.
If a range is selected over the crossfade section, the cross-
fade can be previewed with the Play/Stop button. This also
works while making adjustments in the editor dialog and
allows you to audition the crossfade parameters in real-time.
Please keep in mind that long crossfades employ twice the
processing power compared to playback of single tracks.
Two samples are played at the same time in real-time and
increase the processing requirements. In critical cases
increase the VIP Buffer size in File->Preferences->System.
Linear crossfades do not take as much processing power as
non-linear crossfade curves.
The buttons “+”, “/” and “-” change the length of the cross-
fade section in default increments.
The Crossfade Position: can also be moved with the +
and – buttons.
The button Crossfade Off: deactivates the crossfade for
the selected Object.
