Pre/Post-Crossfade
Some processing functions allow you to gradually mix the effect in or out. This is
done with the Pre/Post-Crossfade parameters. For example, if you activate
Pre-Crossfade and specify a value of 1000
ms, the processing is applied gradually
from the start of selection, reaching full effect 1000
ms after the start. Similarly, if
you activate Post-Crossfade, the processing is gradually removed, starting at the
specified interval before the end of the selection.

IMPORTANT
The sum of the Pre-Crossfade and Post-Crossfade times cannot be larger than the
length of the selection.
This only works if the entire audio event is selected (separately or as part of a
selection range).
Envelope
The Envelope function allows you to apply a volume envelope to the selected audio.
The dialog contains the following settings:
Curve Kind buttons
These determine whether the envelope curve consists of spline curve
segments (left button), damped spline segments (middle button) or linear
segments (right button).
Envelope display
Shows the shape of the envelope curve. The resulting waveform shape is
shown in dark gray, with the current waveform shape in light gray. You can
click on the curve to add points, and click and drag existing points to change
the shape. To remove a point from the curve, drag it outside the display.
Presets
If you have set up an envelope curve that you may want to apply to other
events or clips, you can save it as a preset by clicking the Store button.
• To apply a stored preset, select it from the pop-up menu.
• To rename the selected preset, double-click on the name and enter a
new one in the dialog that opens.
