Fade In Shape Parameters
The In Shape parameter allows you to
choose the shape of the fade-in to region 2.
Standard Selects a single continuous fade
curve. This creates a general-purpose fade
that can be edited by dragging the curve it-
self.
S-Curve Selects an S-shaped curve, which
inverts its beginning and end characteris-
tics. This makes it possible to fade in faster
at the start of the curve, and slower at the
end. S-shaped curves are useful with mate-
rial that is difficult to crossfade effectively.
S-curves can be edited by dragging the
curve in the curve editor.
Preset Curves Seven commonly used preset
curves are provided for fast crossfade cre-
ation. These can be edited by dragging the
end points of the curve in the curve editor
portion of this dialog. The seven presets are
as follows:
◆ Preset Curve 1 fades in region 2 at full
volume immediately at the beginning of
the crossfade and keeps it there throughout
the crossfade.
◆ Preset Curve 2 fades in region 2 quickly
in the beginning, reaching full amplitude
fairly early in the crossfade.
◆ Preset Curve 3 fades in region 2 moder-
ately fast.
◆ Preset Curve 4 fades in region 2 with a
linear fade curve. This is the default curve.
◆ Preset Curve 5 fades in region 2 slowly at
the beginning of the crossfade.
◆ Preset Curve 6 fades in region 2 even
more slowly than the previous curve.
◆ Preset Curve 7 silences region 2 until the
end of the crossfade.
