I just copied a good piece of one of my audio tracks and pasted it to another track. Now I want to crossfade it in over a spot that wasn't so good. So, I follow the help instructions and click the little X in the Track view to enable Crossfades, then I drag the clip onto the desired spot, drop it, and select Blend Old with New. But I don't see the Crossfade X on the result. The clip I dragged is just sitting on top of the old clip. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

How is the track playing back? Does it sound like they're just on top of eachother? Or are they crossfading?
 
Check out the manual.... you need to overlay the two tracks, enable cross fade then add the cross fade like you would use slip edit.. well it's sort of like that anyway...

The tracks were just on top of each other. Not that I'm really sure what I'm looking for to determine if they are crossfading, since this was my first attempt, and I'm just sort of playing around to see what effect it has. Anyway, I was able to just overwrite the old clip with the new clip and get it sounding good (it's all relative of course ... might make some of you wince). :eek: :D

I thought I was following the Help instructions, but I could have done something screwy. I'm a bit unclear on the crossfading concept, so I was hoping that hearing it in action might help explain it to me. I think some research on it might be in order before trying it again, so I have a better idea of what it is I'm trying to do. I'll also look into slip editing to see if that was the missing link. I'll let you know if I still have trouble after that.

Thanks!!

Cross fading.... in simple terms

Turning the volume of one track down as you turn up the volume of the other.... It blends the two tracks together. It's like a DJ changing song.
