harness Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Hi all, One question for Apple / Logic Pro: why, for the love of god, does Logic Pro not allow you to crossfade (equal power / equal gain) across two separate tracks ?! This is one of the most basic editing features in any DAW and this is nowhere to be found. Also more fascinating is why no one has ever asked this question ! Adding this feature would put Logic Pro into another league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 My guess is that noone has asked for this because it is easily achievable with two fades, and far more versatile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harness Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Actually I totally disagree - in post-production sound for film you need to do an equal power equal gain crossfade across multiple tracks thousands of times and without this function Logic Pro is a bit helpless for this kind of work. It's even useful for music production, sound design, etc. Major oversight in the DAW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploki Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 i never really needed that. I only really need equal power xfade for something that has to be as seamless as possible. If i have it on two separate tracks (as probably two different processings) I will probably do some other fade. idk, i've only really saw this in two-tracks editors, not really in DAWs. maybe i'm mistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateTedesco Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Heres the way I've done it, 1. Create a summing stack of the two tracks you want to crossfade 2. Add the gain plugin to the summing stack 3. Open up the smart controls of the summing stack and select a knob you want to use 4. In the Parameter mapping simply choose volume of the first track, then click "add mapping" from the little settings menu in smart controls, and add the second track 5. Click the "Open" button 6. Choose Invert Done! Edited November 9, 2019 by NateTedesco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValliSoftware Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 If you want to use The Environment, You can do a A/B fade and you can do a A/B/C/D fade using the X/Y pad in The Environment as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
