Fades and Crossfades
Auto Fades and Crossfades
Audition Level
Allows you to set the audition level.
Length
Specifies the length of the crossfade area. Cubase tries to center the crossfade, i.
e. the length change will be applied equally to both sides. To be able to resize a
crossfade, it must be possible to resize the corresponding event. For example, if the
fade out event already plays its audio clip to the end, its end point cannot be moved
any further to the right.
Presets
Click Store to the right of the Presets pop-up menu to store the crossfade settings
so that you can apply them to other events.
● To remove a preset, select it on the pop-up menu and click Delete.
Default buttons
Click As Default to store the current settings as default. Default settings are used
whenever you create new crossfades.
Click Recall Default to apply the curves and settings of the default crossfade to the
Crossfade editor.

Auto Fades and Crossfades
Cubase features an Auto Fade function that can be set both globally and separately for each
audio track. Auto fades allow you to create smoother transitions between events by applying
fade ins and fade outs with a length between 1 and 500 ms.
IMPORTANT
As event-based fades are calculated in real time during playback, applying auto fades to a higher
number of audio events results in a higher demand on the processor.
