Fade Out Shape Setting
Fade Out Shape
The Out Shape setting allows you to choose the
shape of the fade-out from region 1.
Standard Selects a single continuous fade curve.
This creates a general-purpose fade that can be
edited by dragging the curve itself.
S-Curve Selects an S-shaped curve, which inverts
its beginning and end characteristics. This
makes it possible to fade out faster at the curve's
start and slower at its end, for example. S-shaped
curves can be useful with material that is diffi-
cult to crossfade effectively. S-curves can be ed-
ited by dragging the curve in the curve editor.

Preset Curves Seven commonly used preset
curves are provided for fast crossfade creation.
These can be edited by dragging the end points
of the curve in the curve editor portion of this
dialog. The seven presets are as follows:
Preset Curve 1 keeps region 1 at full volume
◆
throughout the crossfade, then immediately
drops the volume at the end of the crossfade.
Preset Curve 1
Preset Curve 2 fades out region 1 relatively
◆
slowly, keeping the volume fairly high through-
out the duration of the fade.
Preset Curve 2
Preset Curve 3 fades out region 1 slightly
◆
faster, keeping the volume slightly lower during
the fade.
Preset Curve 3
Preset Curve 4 fades out region 1 with a linear
◆
fade. This is the default curve.
Preset Curve 4
Preset Curve 5 fades out region 1 quickly at
◆
the beginning of the crossfade.
