Crossfading allows you to define the mix (overlap) point, and fade in/out parameters for music and other files. To open this window, select Settings –> Crossfades in the menu.
Please see the Crossfade Priorities section to see in what order the settings are applied.
Controls and options:
Fade in |
Fade in is the period at the start of a track when the volume gradually increases from silence to full level. |
Mix point |
The moment before the end of a track when the next track starts playing, overlapping with the current track. |
Trigger mix at |
The “Trigger mix at" setting is based on a sound level (default setting is –14dB). The “Mix point” option must be turned on, too.
If the “Trigger mix at” option is turned on, the “Mix point” value (2.5 seconds by default) controls the minimum overlap duration. |
Fade out |
Fade out is the period at the end of a track when the volume gradually decreases from full level to silence. |
Start fading out on mix |
The fade out will start at the same time as Mix. If the “Fade out” option is turned on, the "fade out" value defines the fade-out duration. |
File type selector |
Selects the file type for editing the crossfade settings. |
Override previous track mix |
Overrides the previous track's mix point to control how many tracks overlap. This is useful for commercials and jingles in order to avoid long overlap with the preceding music track. |
File types section |
Define crossfades for each File type.
Important! For Containers, custom fading settings for file types are not applied. |
