3ple Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hey guys! Is there a way to change how the region fade behaves? Every time I use the fade out, it kinda fades out progressively, but then the last portion sounds as if it's sudden. 9 times out of 10, changing the curve itself doesn't sound the way I want it so I end up using volume automation, which sometimes is not what I want to use. I see that for crossfade there are some different options. Just wondering if there are options for fades as well, maybe like "exponential" and "linear" or something. Thanks!

Unisphere Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Hey I just wondered the same thing. Did you find out anything about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Hey I just wondered the same thing. Did you find out anything about this? You can change the Curve parameter number on the Region Parameter Box top left. You can go positive or negative and that will change the curve shape of the fade. Or, You can enable fade tool zone in Logic's preferences and do it with the mouse: Edited November 27, 2021 by triplets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unisphere Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hi Thanks, but is it possible to create an S-curve fade too like it is possible in Ableton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hi Thanks, but is it possible to create an S-curve fade too like it is possible in Ableton? I just added a gif with the fade tool. You can change the type of fade in the same box and chose X S fade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change the type of fade in the same box and chose X S fade. I'm aware of this, but is it possible to create a S-shaped fade out? Not a crossfade though. For example when using a kick as audio region and wanting to to so to make smooth fade outs. Actually the same like in the automation, but directly on the region. Hope I'm more specific with my question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 No, there is no S-shape fade out. Since the X S crossfade needs two adjacent regions to work, you can fool Logic by attaching a muted region next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unisphere Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 That's a nice workaround. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to do that make sure you re-center the fade so it occurs only in the first region, not overlapping the silent region - or you'll get half a fade and then a sudden drop to zero.

David Nahmani Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 You're welcome. Whatever you do, make sure you solo the track and listen carefully. You may be sometimes surprised to realize that what you hear is not what you would have expected based on what you're seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Oh ok then hold down Control-Shift and bring the pointer tool to the edges of the fade to drag each edge where you want. Let me know if that works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
