![]() ![]() I'm not sure where you get your information about automatic crossfades sounding as bad or worse than Fade out/in. I understand it sounds like it might be nice if this all happened automagically, but it really does need an actual human to make meaningful aesthetic decisions, and if you can't be bothered to do that, then I just don't know what to tell ya.Īshcat, if you don't find crossfades useful, that's fine, but maybe I can least explain why I (and others) find them useful. If there are enough just random crossfades in there, it's probably going to sound worse than whatever you're trying to fix. If you're actually doing enough of this that it really ends up being tedious, then you should probably practice the part a few more times so you can actually play it all the way through without screwing it up so bad. How can you know if you need a crossfade, how far it should crossfade, exactly where it should start and end, etc until you've actually got both takes to work with? Just drop in and record and go back and clean up the heads and tails later. Honestly, I think this whole idea is kind of silly. If you just arbitrarily start splitting things and splicing in other things and you end up interrupting ringing notes and whatever it can be noticeable, but that would be true - and in fact could be much worse - with crossfading. I generally don't have much trouble with fade-out/in as long as they're fast enough and the split is put at some reasonable spot. ![]() Your first example didn't involve crossfading (but fade out/in) and your second example doesn't involve takes. Didn't you just move out of Takes mode? This whole thread was about crossfading TAKES. Wait, maybe this isn't a good work around. From my searching on the forum the functionality I'm describing appears to be a feature that's been requested for a couple years now. Hopefully others who come looking for this feature will see the alternatives that might work for them. I appreciate you pointing out and illustrating all these methods. Of course this also leaves room for the accidental recording a good take in regular record mode, ending up without a cross fade, and having a click hidden in your mix to hunt down later. The ending of each recorded passage is impossible to predict (making the end of the selection safest put at the end of the song) and if you're not recording to a click, then it seems just as easy to hit play, then hit record where you want your punch to occur. Especially in situations where a performer is punching phrases over the top of one another throughout an entire song. The reason the main record mode exists is because it's typically more convenient to not have to pre-select and area to record. It's a reasonable work around, but I still think there should be an option for auto crossfade for the main record mode. I actually am familiar with this way of making crossfades work. ![]()
