If I understand what she is asking it almost sounds like she wants a
little fade of the music, but not complete, and then once the ocean
sound comes in have a quick fade to nothing in 2 seconds.   I am
thinking that is probably going to take two fades. One fade for a
longer section that includes the music, followed by a shorter fade
that starts at the beginning of the ocean sounds and lasts for two
seconds with no sound at the end of the two seconds.


My immediate reaction and question to Mary would be to ask what is
the total time that there is an ocean sound in the file?  Reason for
the question being to know whether there is quite a bit more time or
not in the original.  If there isn't much time it may be difficult
to get the music fade to not be rather drastic also.

Man, I hope she understands what I am getting at here?

Mary, fade out has to do with what portion of the file you have
selected.  So, if you want to have a fade out that takes two
seconds and
comes at the end of the file, you need to go to the end of the
file,
back up two seconds with the go to time function, select from there
to
the end, and then apply the fade.  The fade will now start two
seconds
before the end of the file and the fade out will end just as the
file
ends.  Does this help, or did I not understand your question?

Subject: [studiorecorder] Question about general fade-out


Hi list,
 
Speaking of fades, here is a question about plain old fade-out; I
know
there are different types of fades; there are times when I want to
fade
out rather quickly, and rather aggressively, and I want to control
when
the fade-out occurs. For example, my podcast themes have ocean
sounds at
the end. I would really like to cut the ocean, to about 2 seconds
after
the end of the theme, and fade them out very quickly. However, when
I
play with that and do it, and try to fade out, it starts fading
too
soon, and the theme starts fading out before the ocean sounds
start.
 
I guess what I want is to have more control over how long a
fade-out is,
and exactly when it will happen.
 
Is this asking too much, or is there a technique I haven't figured
out
yet?
 
Thanks -
Mary Emerson
