Joining events

You may join events on ACID tracks that have been segmented along the timeline. Joining events is an efficient way to redraw an event and remove any splits or silent regions between events.

You would want to join events if you decided that the event should play uninterrupted over the specified time range.

1.Select the events or range of events that you want to join. For more information, see Selecting multiple events on page 38.

2.From the Edit menu, choose Join or press J. The selected events are joined.

Select all the events that you want to join.

You can also select the first and last events you want to join, creating an event selection range.

After you join the events, a single event appears.

Joining events is similar to dragging the edge of an existing event

Automatic crossfades

From the Options menu, choose Automatic Crossfades if you want to automatically create crossfades when you overlap two audio events.

Note: Event crossfades are not available for MIDI events.

Creating crossfades

You can easily create crossfades between events by simply dragging an event.

1.From the Options menu, choose Automatic Crossfades to turn on automatic crossfades.

2.Drag and event so that it overlaps another event on the same track.

A crossfade is automatically added to transition smoothly between the two events.
