strikingtwice Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 So, i know that certain files won't let you crossfade, i know that takes won't let you crossfade, but any reason why to perfectly good aif files that are touching won't crossfade? It's a reverse piano chord, and it sounds like crud because of the weird little break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillo jr Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 How are you doing the xfade? Via the mouse tool, or from the Inspector? Occasionally a fade won't show up but then clicking in the value in the inspector will cause it to display in the arrange. Also, try deleting your fade files ( Options > Audio ) and then let Logic redraw them. This won't screw anything up. BTW, your HUGE image is breaking forum guidelines..... see item 8. I can't even get the whole page on my 27 inch monitor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikingtwice Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hey, I actually downsized it but I don't think i grabbed the right file. I am using the mouse tool to do this. Fades can be done on the beginning and end of each file, but not a proper crossfade. Thanks for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Looks like you don't have much (or anything) to make a crossfade happen. Read this: Question about crossfading J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikingtwice Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks jordito. i suppose i dont have anything after it to fade from. With that then, does logic have a ripple style tool like in final cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks jordito. i suppose i dont have anything after it to fade from. If you look at the region representations in the audio bin, you can see that both files have regions in the arrange which amount to the entirety of the files. With that then, does logic have a ripple style tool like in final cut? Set the drag mode to shuffle R or Shuffle L. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Looks like you don't have much (or anything) to make a crossfade happen. But in that case he should still see a white crossfade on the regions. strikingtwice, you're not even seeing a crossfade? BTW I have to remove your picture, it's way too big. We can handle pictures up to 800 pixels wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, no, i didn't see CF on the regions. They would show up on one or the other, but not across both of them. I just tried the exact same thing i did on one of the computers at work, and the fade worked fine. The only difference was this time i used bounce in place vs. export as audio file?? Don't see how that would make a difference. Also, about the ripple edit, that drag mode doesn't change that, i don't want to move the whole region. Thanks again for everyone's help EDIT: I just tried to trim the beginning and ends to give me more space, and it still won't fade!!!!

Jordi Torres Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 about the ripple edit, that drag mode doesn't change that, i don't want to move the whole region. Could you describe what you call a ripple edit, then? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikingtwice Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 As I was about to explain what a ripple edit was, I realized that it wouldn't really help me at all, and what I was looking for was more like a slip edit, which I can do.

strikingtwice Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Ridiculous. I think it's the anchor points. check this out (hopefully this pic is smaller). I moved the anchor points (used search peak in in sample editor - always wanted something like that in performer, i think they may have it now, but don't care). Apparently now I can crossfade. This is not really how i wanted it to work, and the edit is still not perfect. the complaint i have now is that I wanted the peaks to be matched up, but then when i move it, i can't fade again. It is definitely a problem with the anchors. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marnott Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi, I am not sure if this helps with the "Reasons why crossfade tool doesn't work" but on my Logic 8 it won't work on MP3 files only works on wave files ? Frustrating I know hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating I know hope this helps. mp3 is a distribution format, not a production format. You have to convert your files to PCM files (aiff, wav, caf).
