Creating a Fade in an Audio Clip

It’s simple to add a fade to an audio clip. After the fade is placed, you can use the Fade Selector HUD to reshape it as appropriate.

To create a fade in a clip in the Timeline:

1Using the Selection tool, position the pointer over the top-left or top-right edge of the clip.

The pointer becomes a fade pointer.

2Drag from the corner toward the center of the clip. A fade is superimposed over the clip.

3To lengthen or shorten the fade, drag the edge of the fade left or right. You can use the Fade Selector HUD to reshape your fade.

To reshape a fade’s contour using the Fade Selector HUD:

1Double-click the fade you want to adjust to display the Fade Selector HUD.

2Select a fade shape to apply.

To learn more about the Fade Selector HUD, see the Soundtrack Pro User Manual.
