Fades, Crossfades, and Envelopes
Fades allow you to gradually increase or decrease the volume at the start or at the end of audio events or audio clips, and to create smooth transitions.
Crossfades
Crossfades allow you to create smooth transitions for consecutive audio events on the same track. Crossfades are always event-based.
Crossfade Editor
The Crossfade editor allows you to edit crossfades. It shows a fade display of the selected audio and the fade curves, in conjunction with fade-in and fade-out curve settings and common settings.
Resizing the Crossfade Area
You can edit crossfades by resizing the crossfade area, that is, the overlapping area between two audio events or clips.
Changing the Crossfade Length Without Moving the Splice Points
You can resize the crossfade area between two audio events or clips without moving the splice points.

Changing the Crossfade Length Without Moving the Splice Points

You can resize the crossfade area between two audio events or clips without moving the splice points.

To resize the crossfade area, use the Length controls or the Length fields.

You can also resize the crossfade area by clicking and dragging the length handles for the fade out and the fade in curve in the crossfade display.

If you activate Symmetric Fades, the fade out and the fade in lengths are changed by the same amount.
If you deactivate Symmetric Fades, you can use the upper Length controls to change the length of the fade out curve and the lower controls to change the length of the fade in curve.
