Why is logic using more than what i have shown in the arrange page when crossfading between regions. Example: Region A is 8 bars long but I'm only using 4 bars worth and crossfading into region B. The problem is that I'm clearly hearing the downbeat of bar 5 of region A! I don't want to hear that I JUST WANT TO CROSSFADE BETWEEN THE REGIONS I HAVE SHOWING ON THE ARRANGE PAGE. Why is logic using audio I don't have selected? Even in the audio page, the S and E points are correct. But logic is using audio from the original full region that i do not want used. I don't rememeber this happening in logic 6. what am I missing??? thanks a million, Tommy G4/933 panther 10.3.8 logic 7.0.1 PS.... FYI, NONE OF MY SPECTRASONICS STUFF WORKS ACCEPTABLY.

By definition, a crossfade involves fading in the material from the second region a little before the center and tapering out the material from the first region a little after. Unless your crossfade is only a few milliseconds long, you will hear the downbeat of bar 5 as it fades out. Sonny Keyes Toronto

If it didn't use up audio that is beyond (before and after) the visual boundaries that separate the two regions, it wouldn't be a crossfade in the first place. The corollary to this is that if there ISN'T any audio before and after the boundaries, then you can't have a proper crossfade. I encounter folks all the time who wonder why they're still getting clicks/pops at the boundary even though they've established a crossfade (because there isn't anything to crossfade to and/or from). ProTools gives a nice warning message when trying to crossfade two regions that don't have sufficient audio before/after the boundary. trigoe@... wrote: >Example: Region A is 8 bars long but I'm only using 4 bars >worth and crossfading into region B.

Adjust the crossfade time (less in your case) to suit you. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>
