Create fades and crossfades on audio regions
Create fades
You can fade in the beginning of audio regions, and fade out the end of audio regions (including
audio Apple Loops).
Fades are only visible if you are zoomed in enough to see the waveform in the audio region.
You can create a fade using either the Fade tool or the Fade In and Fade Out parameters in the
Region inspector.
Create a fade-in or fade-out with the Fade tool
1 Select the Fade tool.
Fade tool
2 Do one of the following:
•
Drag over the start or end point of an audio region.
A fade-in or fade-out is created. The length of the fade drag area determines the length of the
fade, so a longer drag area results in a longer fade time, and a shorter drag area, a quick fade.
•
Drag over the end point of one audio region and the start point of the region that follows.
This technique works even if the two sections don’t directly adjoin each other.
With the Fade tool selected, you can edit fades on regions after you make them.
Create a fade-in or fade-out using the Region inspector
1 Select one or more regions.
2 Set the value for the Fade In or Fade Out setting in the Region inspector by dragging the pointer
vertically, or double-clicking and entering a value.
