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:

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