The controls in the Fades dialog include:
Audition
Click this button to audition your cross-
fade. Pro Tools plays the audio in one of
two ways, depending on your system:
• Pro Tools 24 MIX and Pro Tools 24 sys-
tems allow crossfade auditioning directly
from your audio interface outputs.
• All other Pro Tools systems use Apple’s
Sound Manager to audition crossfades.
Use the Digidesign Sound Drivers (auto-
matically installed with Pro Tools) to au-
dition via your audio interface outputs.
Use the Macintosh Sound Control Panel
to set the Output choice to Digidesign
Sound Drivers. (If you do not use the
Sound Drivers, you will hear crossfades
through the Macintosh’s audio output.)

mand-click (Macintosh) or Control-click
(Windows) for the default view scale.
