Auto fades and crossfades
Cubase features an Auto Fade function that can be set both globally, and separately
for each audio track. The idea behind the Auto Fade function is to create smoother
transitions between events by applying short (1 to 500
ms) fade ins and fade outs.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
As event-based fades are calculated in realtime during playback, a higher number
of audio events provokes to a higher the demand on the processor when Auto
Fades is activated.
NOTE
Auto fades are not indicated by fade lines!
