Fade In/Fade Out levels: There are three options that affect the incoming and outgoing
halves of the Cross Fade effect independently. 0dB applies a linear fade (this is the
default). +3dB applies a boosted curve; when applied to both Fade In and Fade Out,
this can compensate for diminished levels in the middle of a Cross Fade. –3dB applies
an attenuating curve, which deliberately lowers the level of the Cross Fade.
Crossfades can be created and edited on both the Edit and Fairlight pages.
Fades and Crossfades
Part of audio editing in the Fairlight page is the use of fades and crossfades. This section shows
you how to create these effects for smoothly segueing from one audio clip to another.
Using Fades
Like the Edit page, each audio clip has fader handles that appear at the upper right and left
corners of a clip you’re hovering the pointer over.
Fader handles appear when you
hover the pointer over a clip
Pulling these handles out creates a fade effect with a duration equal to the length you
extended the handle.
Creating a fade effect by pulling
out one of the fader handles
Once you’ve created a fade effect, you can adjust the curve of the fade by dragging
the handle that appears right on top of the fader curve. Dragging the handle up and
down affects the angle of the curve, and dragging the handle left and right affects the
shape of the curve. In this way, you can create all manner of fade effects.
