Question about crossfades

  1. When you have two adjacent regions and create a crossfade (without overlapping the 2 regions) the crossfade start point starts for the 2nd region before the region starts visually. Does logic actually trim the 2nd region to start at the starting point of the crossfade in the background even though visually it appears to start after the first region?

The quick answer is no.

But there are two other options: You can customize the shape of the x-fade in the Region Inspector under Curve or with the Fade tool. The second option is more of a workaround, but pretty precise: you could distribute the regions to separate tracks (with the same settings) and create fade-ins and fade-outs as you like.

I just spoke to apple and the agent wasnt sure but after asking his colleagues they seem to believe that logic does in fact extend the regions of 2 adjacent (non overlapped) regions in the background to overlap for the duration of the crossfade. I would think it would have to work this way otherwise what is the point of the crossfade if the regions dont overlap.


And with that being the case yes I now I have moving the split points (with or without crossfades) down to 2 steps of 1. trimming 2. Key command trim region start to previous region or region end to next region (depending which way I want to move the split point). Thats not too bad. Still eould be nice to be able to do it 1 step and be able to move multiple split points simultaneously.
