Creating Fades
A fade in starts at the beginning of an audio region, and a fade out occurs at the end of
the region. Fades are only visible if you are sufficiently zoomed in to see the waveform
in the audio region. You can either use the Crossfade tool or the parameters in the
Inspector’s Region Parameter box to create fades.
To create a fade in or fade out with the Crossfade tool
1 Select the Crossfade tool.
Crossfade tool
2 Do one of the following:
• Drag over the start or end point of an audio region.
This creates a fade in or fade out. The length of the fade drag area determines the
length of the fade, so a longer drag area results in a longer fade time, and a shorter
drag area, a quick fade.
• Drag over the end point of one audio region and the start point of the following region.
This works, even if the two sections don’t directly adjoin each other.
To create a fade in or fade out using the Inspector’s Region Parameter box
1 Select one or more regions.
