Fade Out -> Fade In

Post by dennus » Mon Oct 31, 2011 8:11 am

Is there a way to select two tracks and have a FADE OUT on the first while having a FADE IN on the second?
This way the two will overlap.

What you want is called crossfade. There is a crossfade effect in Audacity but it is niot a true crossfade. One of the forum elves is currently working on a new crossfade plugin - see this (longish) thread: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 42&t=61498

But until they get it done, you can import both tracks so they appear one above the other and use the Time Shift Tool (sideways black arrows) to push one later than the other. Then apply Effect > Fade out to one and Effect > Fade in to the other. Like this.

That's really the Envelope Tool, but the effect on the sound is the same.

Though it's not quite finished yet, there is a fully working cross-fade plug-in in the link that waxcylinder gave.
Here is a direct link to the plug-in: http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/file.php?id=4199
There is also a newer cut-down version available here: http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/file.php?id=4251
They have different names so they can both be installed at the same time.
To install the plug-ins, download them and put them in the Audacity plug-ins folder (inside the Audacity installation folder), then restart Audacity.
To remove the plug-ins, just delete them.
I would be very interested to hear your comments on these plug-in if you have time to try them as user feedback will help to guide the final form of this plug-in.
