Anyone who has been following this thread will be pleased to know that the Pro Fade has been committed as part of future Audacity releases. It is released under the name “Studio Fade Out”. It is already available for test in the alpha nighlties (it hit the 1Jan13 alpha release) - and will be in the upcoming 2.0.3 release.
Also committed at the same time was Steve’s Adjustable Fade - and Bass and Treble which replacess Bass Boost.
A big vote of thanks to Steve for developing these fades - an extremely useful addition to the Audacity toolkit for many of us.
Oh okay I see… yeah you’re right. I’ve been thinking… I wanted the Pro-Fade reversed to fade in the low frequencies a little faster than the middle and high frequencies, much in the same way that a normal Pro-Fade fade out fades the low and then the rest. But reversed would do the opposite of what I wanted. Is there a way to fade in that brings low-frequencies faster? (applying a normal fade in 3 times doesn’t do it)
That could be Studio Fade In, but I think Steve feels people have a variety of requirements from a fade in and that it would be better if the one-click-musical-fade-in to be applied could be chosen in a configuration tool.
If you can figure out how many votes to add for (a) a one-click-but-configurable musical fade in (b) a one-click fade in that is the opposite of Studio Fade Out I think you could add the votes to PFR’s.
I think we want to archive this topic in any case.
I was not sure how to add a plug-in so for those impaired by that simply drop the downloaded file into your (at least in my computer it is set-up this way and my was by default)…drop the downloaded file into PROGRAMS —> AUDACITY —> PLUGINS make sure you do not have audacity open or just close and re-open audacity.
Then, go in and open the Audacity program…go to “effects” then use the arrow to scroll up to “manage” you will see “new” files including the “profade” file you just put in there and you can click on it to “enable.”
Now, you go and select the last portion where you want it to end (usually :05-:10 seconds), then go to “effects” scroll down to the “profade” and wha-la!
This plug-in is quite amazing and it is my first…I do professional voiceover’s and so my audio of my script ends before the music does and I used to use the fade-out effect and just do it over and over and over until I got it sounding “good” but this is perfectly done in one-step! Awesome! Thank you so much!
Your effort in learning how to install plug-ins is not wasted, as there are many other optional plug-ins available, and I’m sure that you will find a need to install another plug-in sooner or later.
