To set the length of automatic fade-ins/outs:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences and click the
Operation tab.
2 Type a value between 0 and 10 ms for the Auto
Region Fade In/Out Length. A value of zero (the
default) means that no auto-fading will occur.
3 Click OK. The AutoFade value is saved with the
session, and is automatically applied to all free-
standing region boundaries until you change it.
Preferences
Operation Preferences
Back/Forward Amount Sets the default length of
Back, Back and Play, Forward and Forward and Play.
The timebase of the Back/Forward Amount set-
tings follows the Main Time Scale by default, or
you can deselect the Follow Main Time Scale op-
tion and select another timebase format:
Bars|Beats, Min:Sec, Time Code, Feet+Frames, or
Samples.
Shuttle Selects a type of shuttling different from
that of Shuttle Lock mode. With the Numeric
Keypad mode set to Shuttle, playback is triggered
by pressing and holding the keys on the nu-
meric keypad—playback stops once the keys are
released. Various playback speeds are available
in both forward and reverse. You can also recall
Memory Locations by typing Period (.), the
Memory Location number, and Period (.) again.
Auto Region Fade In/Out Length Sets a default
length for fade-ins and fade-outs automatically
applied to region boundaries. Using automatic
fade-ins and fade-outs saves you the trouble of
editing to zero-crossings or creating numerous
rendered fades in order to eliminate clicks or
pops in playback. Autofades are not written to
disk. Value range is from 0–10 ms for the Auto
Region Fade In/Out Length setting. A value of zero
means that no auto-fading will occur. The Auto
Fade value is saved with the session, and is auto-
matically applied to all free-standing region
boundaries until you change it.

linked controls is adjusted.
