I know that Gale is very keen on a “Pro Fade In” effect to balance the “Pro Fade Out” effect.
Anyone reading this and the other “Pro Fade” thread will know that my reservation about a “Pro Fade In” effect is because I tend to use different fade “shapes” according to the type of material, the duration of the fade, and the kind of effect that I’m wanting to achieve.
However, I’ve been giving this some thought and testing various types of fade-ins.
The thing that makes “Pro Fade Out” stand out is that it is a one click effect that produces a very nice musical fade out that is well suited for fading out most types of music. The big question: is there a particular fade-in effect that has similar universal appeal?
The difficulty that I have in picking one particular fade shape is that I find that I prefer one of the options in some cases, and a different one in others, Having tested dozens of audio samples with dozens of fade shapes, the best that I can come up with is a compromise that I think suits most music most of the time.
So now the questions are:
Is this compromise good enough?
Do others agree that this is the best compromise?
Obviously I can’t answer those questions, so here is a selection of one-click fade effects.
Please try them on a variety of musical sources. Keep in mind that this effect is intended for fading in music rather than anything else (not for cross-fades, not for making sound effects, not for speech…)
The plug-ins are “Pro fade In 1” to “Pro Fade In 12”.
Can you pick one that you would be happy to use each time you want to fade in some music?
