Adjusting crossfades
When splitting clips as a result of comping, SONAR automatically adds a short crossfade between
abutting takes. In order to create a crossfade, clip boundaries must occur at the exact same position
on the time line. You can manually adjust the duration of each crossfade by dragging the crossfade
up/down in either the Comp clip or in a Take lane.
To adjust a crossfade duration, position the mouse pointer near the bottom where two clips abut.
When the mouse pointer looks like , drag up or down to increase or decrease the crossfade
duration. Drag left or right to adjust the crossfade position.
To specify the default auto crossfade duration
1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Editing.
2. Under Clips, specify the Auto Crossfade Comps (0-25ms) value.
