Zirus Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Ive been hunting around and i can't see anything on this so im assuming not but i thought id ask anyway. Is there a way to tell logic to auto-quick-fade the edged of samples/newly created/cut ones etc to prevent clicks the same way logic does? Its annoying having to manually fade every newly cut region and using "snap to zero point" means then cutting and then having to stretch/shrink the region to fit to the time you were trying to cut too which is also an annoying thing to have to do :-/ So, hoping theres a way to tell logic to auto quick-fade edges so i don't have to do either of the above workarounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 There is no such automatic function in Logic. What you can do is to batch apply fades by selecting all region and then use either the fade tool or the parameter in the region inspector.

Zirus Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Ah shame, seems silly it doesn't have it. The Batch apply using the Region inspected is probably the quickest way then unless there's a key command where I can highlight all the regions and hit the key and it will add fades at the start and nods based on a predefined setting I have set somewhere?

Eric Cardenas Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 There is no predefined settings for fades in Logic, nor is there a specific key command for this task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daneu64 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Is there still no key command for this? This would be a great feature for Logic, seems like it would be pretty easy to implement? Works great in pro tools and saves a ton of time just highlighting the regions and clicking one button rather than having to open the inspector and drag the numbers up every time.

Joe Lonsdale Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Wouldn't it be great if Logic would see an edge and fade it in or out and see a crossover of audio and crossfade it! That would be wonderful... Selecting the entire track and applying global fades invites some rather poorly designed behaviour in Logic - it can deal with fade ins and outs, but not a combination of in, out and crossfade.

David Nahmani Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 it can deal with fade ins and outs, but not a combination of in, out and crossfade. I know this is years old, but to set the record straight, Logic can (and always could) deal with a combination of fade in, fade out and crossfades across a multiple selection. Also since this thread was started, there are new key commands to apply and remove fades in Logic Pro X: • Apply Default Crossfade • Apply Last Edited Fade Again • Remove Fades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you can explain the process to me. If I have, for instance, a super-complex vocal edit with many regions, some crossing, others cut in multiple places. How could I batch apply fade-ins and fade-outs to the entire selection whilst retaining existing cross-fades or creating new ones where relevant? I currently select each region that requires both a fade in and out and create both fades in the region parameter box. I then select all the regions that require just a fade in, as the end of the region joins a cross-fade. I then select every region that requires just a few our add the start of the region comes from a cross-fade. I've got pretty good at streamlining the selection process, but it's still pretty boring!

You have to select only the regions you want to batch fade and apply one setting for all of them. If you apply batch cross fades then Logic automatically applies a fade out where there's no following region to cross fade into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lonsdale Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Okay, thanks David. I think it would be very useful for there to be preference to 'fade all edges' in Logic. I can't think of a situation where you wouldn't want a faded edge, and if you don't, perhaps you could remove that region from the preference on the region parameter box.

David Nahmani Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I can't think of a situation where you wouldn't want a faded edge I can think of many! Any region that starts with a strong transient: drum hit, guitar strum, bass with a click attack, vocal with a plosive, any region junction where you want an abrupt change, any region end that you want to end abruptly and not faded out, etc etc.... Have you heard of BT (Brian Transeau)? He's an example of a producer who spends a great deal of time making sure his kick drum attacks start very abruptly and not on a zero crossing. I use fades only where I need them, not as a systematic rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lonsdale Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Nevertheless, it would be a real time saver if it could be a preference for global fades with the option to remove a region from the global setting in the parameter box. I can, of course, think of time's when I don't use a fade, but 95% of the time, I need fades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 95% of the time, I need fades. I'm afraid it's probably not a common enough workflow for it to warrant an automatic feature for it, but you can always ask Apple directly for it: https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html Meanwhile there's the X-Fade drag mode that, while not exactly what you want, you may find useful? https://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/10.4.7/#/lgcpf7c0a2ec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeShapiro Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 This may or may not help, but every audio region has numerical Fade In and Fade Out parameters. I don't know that they can be automated, but setting them is simpler than drawing fade curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I don't know that they can be automated, but setting them is simpler than drawing fade curves. They cannot be automated, however you can use them to apply batch fades: select multiple regions, then use the Region inspector to set the fade lengths and curves for all selected regions.
