NOTE: For this Quick Start a "clip" is defined as a segment of an audio file.
To quickly add fade-ins/fade-outs:
- Select the clip(s) on the track you want to add fades to. See the REVIEW section below if you've forgotten how to do this.
- Press and hold down the Ctrl then the F key on your keyboard. The "Batch Fades" window will open. The default fade in/out times can be adjusted as/if needed. A 10 millisecond fade in and 60 millisecond fade out time can be good starting points for drums. Experiment with a shorter or longer fade out time to get the sound you want.
- Left click on the "OK" button to automatically add a fade in and a fade out to each selected clip of the track. See image below.
REVIEW:
To select a single clip on a track:
- Left click on the bottom half of the clip you want to select. The background of a selected clip will darken. The second snare hit on the image below has been selected.
To select the entire track and all its separate clips:
- Left click in the upper half of the track.
- Press and hold down the Ctrl then the letter "A" key on your keyboard to highlight all the separate clips on the track.
