Enhanced Editing of Fades
Pro Tools 7.2 allows for greater flexibility in ed-
iting regions that contain or are adjacent to
fades.
Moving and Nudging Fades
Fades can be moved or nudged in tracks, inde-
pendently of their contributing regions.
Moving or nudging fade-ins or fade-outs reveals
or hides audio as the fade is moved from the
edge of a contributing region. Moving or nudg-
ing crossfades changes the overlap point of the
contributing regions.
