CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO - Applying Fades with the Draw Tool

7-18
When you combine events that overlap, you have two choices as to what
happens to the overlapping audio:
If you combine several events that do not overlap and have identical
velocities, the new event has the same velocity as the original events. If
you combine events that overlap or that have different velocities, the
relative volumes of the events are preserved when they are combined
and the new audio event is assigned a velocity of 103 (unity gain.)
Note that the Combine command in the Audio view is different from the
Combine command in the Track view.
Applying Fades with the Draw Tool
A fade is a gradual increase or decrease in volume. An increase in
volume is a Òfade-inÓ or ÒcrescendoÓ; a decrease in volume is a Òfade-outÓ
or Òdecrescendo.Ó In the Audio view, the Draw tool lets you draw a linear
envelope around a waveform, in order to apply a fade to an audio event.
You can apply more complex fades and crossfades to audio events with
the Fade/Envelope and Crossfade commands, respectively. See the
ÒAdvanced Audio ProcessingÓ on page 7-25 for details. You can also apply
fades and crossfades in the Console view. See ÒMixing and Effects
PatchingÓ on page 9-1.

1. Select the events to be combined in the Audio view.
2. Choose
Edit-Audio-Combine , or right-click one of the events
and choose
Combine from the menu.
3. If any of the events overlap, Pro Audio displays the Combine
Audio Events dialog box. Select an option and click OK.
The events are combined into a single event. Overlapping events are
combined in the manner you specified. Empty space between events is
filled with silence in the new event.
