Preset Curve 5 fades in slowly at the begin-

ning of the fade.

Preset Curve 7 silences any audio until the

end of the fade.

Typical Curve Combinations

Following are the available combinations of
fade-out and fade-in curves.

Linear Crossfade

This is a good general purpose

crossfade with a smooth, even transition be-
tween region 1 and region 2.

Equal Power Crossfade

This is a good general

purpose crossfade useful in cases where a linear
crossfade seems to create a noticeable drop in
volume across the splice point.

Overlap Fade

This combination of curves keeps

both regions at full amplitude throughout the
crossfade: region 2 “jumps in” at the beginning
and region 1 “jumps out” at the end.
