Cubase 15Try it →Watch full video →Reid Stefan ·

Demo summary

Reid demonstrates using keyboard shortcuts (A and X) to apply crossfades to the edges of audio clips and between overlapping segments.

Step-by-step

  1. Zoom in on the audio stack in the timeline
  2. Right-click and hold Command to switch to the Range Selection tool
  3. Highlight a custom range over the edge of a clip
  4. Press A to apply a crossfade to the edge
  5. Highlight the intersection of two overlapping clips and press X to apply a crossfade between them
  6. Highlight the center of a clip and press A to apply crossfades to both edges simultaneously

Options

  • Apply crossfades to both edges at once by highlighting the center of the clip

Tips

  • Use a short crossfade on the way in and a long crossfade on the way out for smoothness
  • Manually turn down breaths before applying crossfades to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible

Highlights

“A little cross fade on the way in works perfect”
