Subject:Crossfade tool in SF9? Posted by: mgmadian Date:5/27/2007 8:26:41 PM Tried to answer to question via searching and came up dry... I'm pondering whether to drop the $99 to upgrade from SF7. Does SF9 have an "auto-magical" crossfade tool to minimize (or eliminate) clicks from the boundary of two audio clips that are butt-spliced together? Looking for a quick / easy / no-effort way to splice together (for example) a section from Take_2 into Take_1, with no audible pop that can result even if both clips are trimmed at zero-point crossings. Would be nice if this were a simple, one- or two-step process rather than the multi-step process which it seems to be within SF. Thx, Greg

You can save a Mix preset also save the current edge fade settings for effects. I'd suggest trying the demo. Then you can see for yourself if that suits your needs. J.
Subject:RE: Crossfade tool in SF9? Reply by: YB Date:6/6/2007 7:26:23 PM Yes. the new mix tool is kinda cool, but gone is the very valuable CROSS FADE through CTRL-F. Crossfade is something I use a lot of. The problem with Merge tool now is it never remembers the last setting - ie setting up a linear crossfade is forgotten next time you go in - when editing 100's of files, it's a time waste. Perhaps add a feature into the next release to allow the user to save a default setting, or remember the last setting. If there's a way to do this then please let us know.

And you didn't even need the CTRL-F, just drag and hold down a key. This was the most wonderful, simple tool before and now we have a mess of dialogue boxes that don't remember anything. An edit takes 4 steps instead of just one quick drag and drop. Please return this function in an update soon!
