Insert with Crossfade
Crossfades on Inserts can actually create two crossfades. One is between existing
material before the Edit In mark and the material at the head of the piece being inserted. The
other is between the tail of the piece being inserted and the material after the Edit Out mark. If
there is insufficient material in any of these regions the duration of the crossfade will be limited.
If the Edit In mark is at the Beginning of the file, no crossfade will be performed at the head of
the insert. If the Edit Out mark is at the end of the file no crossfade will be performed at the
tail of the insert.

Diagram 6: Crossfades Performed At Head and Tail of Inserted Material
The Crossfade Duration applies to both crossfades performed. When appending material
to the end of a file, only the head crossfade is performed, so each insertion can have its own
Duration set. If you need independent control of the times of both ends of an insert (or one
end crossfaded and the other not), first perform a normal Insert operation, then place both Edit
Marks at the first splice and do a Crossfade Only Cut with the desired Crossfade duration.
Next (if necessary), set the Crossfade duration for the second splice, set both Edit Marks there
and do another Crossfade Only Cut.
