Crossfade

To open the Crossfade dialog, select Crossfade from the Tools menu. (This is a RealOne premium feature.)

The Crossfade feature fades one audio clip into the next when playing a series of clips. When turned on, the volume of each audio clip will start to fade out as it nears its end, and the volume of the next clip will fade in as it starts. The two clips can also overlap so that the next clip will be fading in even as the previous clip is fading out.

The color bar at the top of the Crossfade window represents the decay, rise, and overlap of the volume changes:

Red - Fade Out
Purple - Overlap
Blue - Fade In

Use the following buttons and sliders to customize the Crossfade function:

BUTTON	DESCRIPTION
On/Off	Turns Crossfade on or off. (The indicator is green when Crossfade is turned on.)
Reset	Returns all Crossfade settings to their default values (zero seconds).
Overlap	Drag the slider to set the number of seconds both clips will overlap. (Overlap time is independent of Fade In or Fade Out times.) Note: These settings do not take into consideration any dead time (zero or low level audio) recorded at the beginning or end of the two adjacent clips.
Fade In	Drag the slider to set the number of seconds over which the next clip will Fade In.
Fade Out	Drag the slider to set the number of seconds over which the current clip will Fade Out.
