those corporate butt checks just made it so you can select any number of tracks, hit ctrl + d then add in your volume fades.Angstrom wrote:Johnisfaster wrote:yeah cause apparently daws are supposed to do things for you. clicking 2 dots on a line and moving one of them to make a fade is way too much work and we'll never get anything done with that kind of "show stopper"
ffs , read and understand
Cubase clip crossfade:
two clips on the same track (with effects, eq etc on track)
drag second clip start over first clip end
press X
the two clips are now crossfaded in Cubase
live crossfade
two clips on the same track (with effects, eq etc on track)
make two new audio tracks
copy second clip onto one audio track
copy all eq and effects onto third audio track
route tracks one and 2 to track 3
open volume envelope on track one, draw volume fade out
open volume envelope on track two draw volume fade in
the two clips are now crossfaded in Live
if you are blinded by corporate buttcheeks you may decide that the second list is actually better. Personally I prefer the first way.
I'm not sure exactly how that first way is "bloated"
No fade in/out/crossfade for audio clips in Ableton 6 ?

that's interesting.
Lots of entertaining additions for sure, and I will most likely update to 6.
although I do have a feeling a little like I'm saying "there's no steering wheel in this car" and the response is "yes but the indicator stem now has an LED on it!"
I can't see the new function impacting on the above crossfade scenario for example.
Of course it's no simple matter to alter the code get two streams of audio to play at the same time off one track. Live's basis is 'one peice of audio on one track at a time' - they would need to address that quite large issue to solve this in a neat way. That's not going to be quick, but once they solve it we can have overdubs, looping, x-fades, comping, etc.
BTW - "blinded by corporate butt cheeks" was meant to imply that his nose was a little to close for a rational view.
but your -"those corporate butt checks" implies that some sort of terrible security system is in place at Ableton towers !

Suit #1: I mean, have you got any insight as to why a bright boy like this would jeopardize the lives of millions?

NOOOO!!!!! Don't look at ProTools' crossfade features... Look at Nuendo's
Nuendo's fading is MUUCH more advanced and flexible. ProTools' editing features are still very old school compared to Nuendo.
I do a lot of sound post as well as music production, and even though I have a ProTools system for compatibility reasons, I do all dialog & FX cutting, as well as surround mixing in Nuendo... WAY more modern toolset. ProTools seems archaic to cut in now.
