Effects
Fading
Effects that ramp the level of a selection up or down, or cross one piece of audio into another.
A fade changes level gradually across the whole of a selection rather than by a fixed amount. The group covers the plain linear fades, shaped fades where you choose the curve, and crossfades that take one piece of audio out while bringing another in.
Where to find it
The Fading submenu of the Effect menu, with audio selected.
How fades use the selection
The fade always spans exactly the selection: it starts at its beginning and finishes at its end. To change how long a fade lasts, change the length of the selection, not a setting in a dialog.
Notes
Fades are also the cure for a click at a cut point. A few milliseconds of fade at the start and end of a clip removes the abrupt step in the waveform that causes it.
- Fade In Ramp the selection up from silence to full level in a straight line.
- Fade Out Ramp the selection down from full level to silence in a straight line.
- Adjustable Fade Fade the selection using a curve shape and start and end levels that you choose.
- Crossfade Clips Crossfade the end of one clip into the start of the next within a single track.
- Crossfade Tracks Fade one track out while another fades in, across the same time range.
- Studio Fade Out A smooth fade out that also rolls the high frequencies away as the level drops.
