Region Fades

-

Region fades are possible at the beginning and end of -all audio regions. In object mode, a grip appears at the top left and -top right of an audio region when the cursor hovers over it. Placing -the cursor over the top of the grip displays the region fade cursor -tip. Click and drag the grip left or right in the timeline to -adjust the length of the fade.

Crossfades

-

Crossfades refer to the behavior when you want to make -a smooth transition (mix) from one audio region to another on the same -track. Historically, this was done by splicing 2 pieces of analog -tape together, and this concept was carried forward into digital -editing. Each track is a sequence of sound files (regions). If -two regions are butted against each other, there needs to be a method -to splice them smoothly together. The crossfade allows one region -to fade smoothly out, while the next region fades smoothly in, like 2 -pieces of tape that have been cut at and angle, and overlapped.

But Ardour uses a more refined "layered" editing model, and -therefore it is possible for multiple regions to be stacked on a single -location with arbitrary overlaps between different layers. For -this reason, crossfades must be implemented differently. We can't -assume that a crossfade is an entitry that exists between 2 regions; -instead each region must have its own associated crossfades at each -end, and the topmost region must always crossfade down to the -underlying region(s), if any.

Ardour solves this problem by putting a crossfade at the beginning -and end of every region. The fades of the bottom-most region are -first rendered, and then each region is rendered on top of the one -below it, with fades at the end of each region providing a crossfade to -the region(s) beneath it.

It is important to understand that region fades are crossfades. When one region has -another region or multiple regions beneath its fade area, then you will -hear the topmost region fade-out be mirrored as a fade-in on the -underlying region(s). The grip for the topmost region will allow -changing the length and type of the crossfade into the underlying -region(s). In this way you can create a complicated series of -crossfades, and then layer another region atop the others, and fade -into _that_ complicated series. An image here would -probably help.

If a region doesn't have any region(s) under it, then the region is -crossfaded to silence; for convenience we call this a "fade" -rather than a crossfade.

Fade Shapes

To activate/deactivate or change the shape of a region's fadein or -fade-out, hover the cursor over the regionfade grip till the cursor tip -indicates region fade editing and context-click to bring up a context -menu. In the context menu there is a list of options for the -regionfade. Activate/Deactivate enables and -disables the regionfade.

Because each fade is also a crossfade, it has an inverse fade shape -for the audio beneath the fade. It is important to know how the -shapes differ, and which are most suitable for various editing tasks.
