All I want to do is automate a simple fade-out then back-in effect for a part of my song, but I can't find it anywhere in the perimeters in arrangement view. I was using an auto filter as a temporary solution so I could continue the momentum of making the song but its not the same cause you can hear the cutoff frequency open and close compared to just a simple fade.
Am I just looking in the wrong place? I'm using live 9.0.6 with massive. All I see under mixer is track panning, track volume, X-Fade Assign, and my 2 sends.
Cannot find crossfade?
Re: Cannot find crossfade?
If you see the X-fade assign buttons, then the crossfader itself is directly under the volume meter of your master channel.
Re: Cannot find crossfade?
Is there no regular fader? Maybe I'm getting the definition of fading wrong. Like I want a fading volume decay that can just slowly fade in again. I've seen people on youtube and stuff use faders with kind of a sine wave curvature. How do I get that?blakjesus wrote:If you see the X-fade assign buttons, then the crossfader itself is directly under the volume meter of your master channel.
Edit: oh oh I see. It just uses the volume perimeter and an automated curve to get that gradual fade in/out effect. This was what I was looking for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pdXKHH1gHQ
Sorry I'm still new to ableton and figuring stuff out. My badd. But still, its good to know about the crossfaders for future stuff. Thanks though
Re: Cannot find crossfade?
Now I have another problem. The alt key won't work for the curves. What gives?
Re: Cannot find crossfade?
Hi, looks like you're mixing up volume automation and fades.
- Volume automation is a property (it's "volume parameter", by the way) of the track. That's what the guy in the video you linked to describes in the first part. Here the alt-modifier works to edit a curve.
- Fades, on the other hand, are actually a property of audio clip boundaries. There is no alt-modifier, but, once you start dragging the fade's starting point, you'll find a point halfway through to the fades other end. This you can grab and determine the slant of the curve.
