Fade in Audio Tracks on Logic Express 9

Hi there. Total Noob here. I'm finding basic functions in L E 9 quite difficult. I have used other audio programs in the past, without much hassle. I can't fade-in audio tracks. I have used the help menu, but the answer provided simply doesn't work. Changing to the fade tool, and then dragging over the start of the region highlights it in green, and then nothing happens. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong? I'm getting really frustrated! Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks.

One way you can fade in/out tracks is by using Volume Automation. Press A on your keyboard to open the Volume Automation lanes. Create nodes and adjust their volumes. Look up Volume Automation in the pdf manual. It's all there.

Try setting the Fade tool as your 'command' tool. once you have done this holding down the CMD button should switch the primary function of your mouse into a crossfade function.

 

Keep the CMD button held down and Try dragging a fade onto the start of the region again. This should work...

 

What scott jackson said is also another great way of creating a fade, It gives you a lot more flexibility with being able to create as many nodes as you like. Automating volume that way is Track automation, not region automation.

 

Good Luck

At work right now, I will try these when I get home and let you know!

I couldn't seem to get the crossfade command to work. But I'm using the automation now and it is excellent! Thanks so much, guys. You made my day.
