AUDIO EDITOR: CHAPTER TWO 333
Waveform after applying an echo effect
Performing a cross fade
A cross fade is where one audio track blends smoothly into another, head
to tail. To cross fade two files, click Edit: Cross Fade. This opens the
Cross Fade dialog box, which allows you to select the file you want to
blend with. (You can only cross fade between files with the same proper-
ties.) Select the file to cross fade with from the Cross Fade with list box
and then enter a value in the Cross duration spin box (in M:S:ms) to
determine how much of the two files overlap. If you do not specify a
duration, the second file is added to the end of the active file. Once you
have an overlap duration, select one of the Transformation curve options
to specify the type of fade to occur between the two tracks. A Linear
fade produces a constant fade from one to the other, while an Exponen-
tial fade begins slowly and ends quickly and the Logarithmic fade begins
quickly and ends slowly. When finished, click OK. The dialog box closes
and a new waveform is created cross fading between the two files.
