Crossfade

Menu Command: Edit | Crossfade

Crossfade fades out one sound while fading in another. The Duration specifies how long the transition between the clipboard audio and current sound audio lasts. An entire song must be copied to the clipboard before using this command. The Clipboard position setting specifies which end of the selection of the current sound the clipboard song will be pasted and faded. If End of selection is selected, then the clipboard is pasted and crossfaded at the end of the selection. If Beginning of selection is selected, then the clipboard is pasted and crossfaded at the beginning of the selection. The Fade curve settings control how the audio is faded. The fade is shown graphically and can be previewed.

To crossfade between two songs:

  1. Open a song and copy it to the clipboard. See .
  2. Open a second song.
  3. Choose Crossfade from the Edit menu or click on the Xfade button.
  4. Change settings as needed. To crossfade from the first song to the second song, select the Beginning of selection option so that the clipboard song is placed before the second song.
  5. Preview the crossfade using the play button. Only the overlapped, crossfaded area is previewed. Note that you'll need to press the play button again to preview changed settings.
  6. Choose OK.
