Mixing Multitrack Sessions
Crossfading audio clips
You can crossfade audio clips to transition smoothly from the end of one clip to the
beginning of another. Crossfades consist of a fade out and a fade in over a transition
region. To create a smooth transition, select a transition region that starts before the end
of the first clip and extends beyond the beginning of the second clip.
The fade curves created with Crossfade commands are volume envelopes, which you
can edit. See “Automating mixes with clip envelopes” on page 188.
Selecting a range and two clips, and applying a linear crossfade
To crossfade two clips:
1 Place the clips on separate tracks.
2 Position the clips so the end point of the first overlaps the start point of the second.
3 Across the overlapping area, select a transition region for the crossfade.
To precisely place the start and end points for the crossfade at clip start and end points,
choose Edit > Snapping > Snap To Clips.
4 Ctrl-click both clips.
5 Choose Edit > Crossfade, and then choose one of the following:
• Linear to produce an even crossfade.
• Sinusoidal to produce a crossfade with a curved, sine-like slope.
• Logarithmic In to fade in logarithmically, producing a steeper slope at the end of the fade.
• Logarithmic Out to fade out logarithmically, producing a steeper slope at the beginning
of the fade.
