Performing A Cross Fade - Ulead MEDIASTUDIO PRO 8 User Manual

• Long Echo has a long delay and a strong decay which results in longer
repetitions, though it fades away faster.
• Long Repeat has a short delay and weak decay, therefore making the echo last
longer (though each repetition comes in faster cycles).
• Resonance has a short delay with little decay and a very short bound. This
results in a quick and fast echo, sort of like an "audio shadow."
• Stadium echo is very similar to Long Echo but starts sooner and ends faster.

Performing a cross fade

A cross fade is where one audio track blends smoothly into another, head to tail. To
cross fade two files, click Edit: Cross Fade. This opens the Cross Fade dialog box,
which allows you to select the file you want to blend with. (You can only cross fade
between files with the same properties.) Select the file to cross fade with from the
Cross Fade with list box and then enter a value in the Cross duration spin box
(in M:S:ms) to determine how much of the two files overlap. If you do not specify
a duration, the second file is added to the end of the active file. Once you have an
overlap duration, select one of the Transformation curve options to specify the
type of fade to occur between the two tracks. A Linear fade produces a constant
fade from one to the other, while an Exponential fade begins slowly and ends
quickly and the Logarithmic fade begins quickly and ends slowly. When finished,
