AUDIO EDITOR: CHAPTER TWO 371
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
properties.) 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 Exponential 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.
