Studio One Pro: Creating crossfades between clips

Demo summary

The demo shows how to overlap two audio events and use the 'X' shortcut to create a smooth crossfade transition.

Drag one audio event over another so they touch or overlap
Press the letter X on your keyboard to create a crossfade
Click and drag the crossfade to move its position if the transition needs adjustment

Use crossfades to avoid manually creating individual fade-ins and fade-outs
If a crossfade doesn't sound right initially, try moving the overlap point to a different spot in the audio

“I've almost never found a crossfade that didn't sound perfectly silent.”
