Visually fade in or out
Adobe Audition offers three types of visual, on-clip fades:
• Linear fades produce an even volume change that works well for much material. If this fade sounds too abrupt,
however, try one of the other options.
• Logarithmic fades smoothly change volume slowly and then rapidly, or vice versa.
• Cosine fades are shaped like an S-curve, changing volume slowly at first, rapidly through the bulk of the fade, and
slowly at the finish.
