firebird1o1 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hello... I was wondering how best to crossfade a song. Past bar 49 is the same sound as the beginning, so it can be crossfaded, but how do I crossfade it? Do I need more than two audio files to do it? Thanks.

Atlas007 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 AFAIK, crossfade is indeed something you can use between audio regions in Logic... Perhaps clarifying your end goal could help understand your issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebird1o1 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 I am trying to loop the song without creating a click, and it needs to be able to loop indefinitely. When I try to crossfade the beginning with the end, I can't figure out how to avoid a click of some sort. I have just been masking it with another noise, but I'm sure there is a better way to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 That's odd. Click are usually associated to audio artefact, which could indeed be alleviated by mean of crossfades, or wave redraw or using the snap to zero crossing option. But in your case, according to the posted pictures, it involves MIDI region. I'd venture that might be due to CPU overload spikes. BTW, is there any other tracks in your project (that could be involved in your issue)? Have you tried adjusting (increasing) the I/O buffers in your audio prefs? Otherwise, if the project involves only those MIDI regions, one could bounce-in-place the track, use fades in / out at beginning & end respectively and then playback only that track (muting the problematic MIDI - other track source-s). Admittedly that represents a convoluted workaround, but worth trying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebird1o1 Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 I increased the I/O buffer to 512, and it worked! Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRobinson Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 "Bounce in place" is actually a very handy thing which Logic has implemented very well. When you've developed your song to the point that you're satisfied with "what it sounds like," Logic makes it extremely easy to then treat it as an audio file. (And, since the "bounce" and its source remain directly connected, it's trivial to re-do it.) I still use this feature a lot, even though my hardware is now considerably more capable than it used to be. (Yay!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
