Am I missing something? I must be. I'm trying to do a master fade and am finding it possible to set the out time and the curve of the fade -- but not the start of the fade. Fade In does just what it says and there is no other place to set a beginning for the fade.
If I'm not missing something this makes "Fade Out" completely unusable. Who starts a fade at the beginning of a song?
Thanks in advance for clarification.

Haven't heard my version of John Cage's 4'33"??? :wink:

For a master fade, I use Aootomation. Right Click on any Track's 'A' button and select Master Filter Param => Master Volume. Works for me.
Hope it helps.

I think there's some terminology confusion here...

"Fade in" is for fading a track in, not setting the start of a fade out. It will always start at zero time.

"Fade Out" will always end at the end of your final clip (I believe...). The value is how long the fade takes, not where the fade out starts. A higher value means it starts earlier in the track.

I don't know if that made any sense at all but I hope it helps. :)

yes, exactly... :-)

here's how to do it:

- select the master-fader

now in the objects-area (bottom of the screen) the master-fader properties appear (from your description I guess you've already found that)

- at the left side of the area there are the fade options - there are the four different curves for both fade in and fade out and in the filds above you can select where the fade-in ends and also how many bars the fade is long (default=0 <- no fade at all)



that's it... ;-) :-)

Thank you very much. You've cleared it up. I thought it was "bars, beats, ticks."
