That's correct, if there is no split, then "Crossfade Clips" uses the
mid-point of the selection.
Crossfading after deleting part of a track is simple: Immediately
after deleting the cursor will be at the split position. Square left
bracket and reduce the time by a couple of seconds, then square right
bracket and increase the time by a couple of seconds. You now have
selected the last couple of seconds of the first clip and the first
couple of seconds of the second clip. Crossfade clips will then
crossfade the two ends.

Hi,
Actually, I just discovered that crossfade clips is useful with screen
readers. You can't tell where clips are, but you can split them, and I
don't know that you even have to have two clips. I recently deleted most of
a video in a presentation I recorded. I didn't think 15 minutes of music
enhanced the recording. I wanted to crossfade the two sections on either
side of the delete, so at the delete point I split into two clips (CTRL+i).
I then went to the selection bar and backed up the start of the selection
five seconds and moved the end forward 5 seconds, and hit Crossfade Clips,
and it overlapped the sections and crossfaded them for me. As I said, I'm
not sure that you have to split it into two clips. I think it may use the
midpoint of the selection as the midpoint of the crossfade.

For use with a screen reader I would not use the Cross Fade Clips effect, as
clips and screen readers don't get on terribly well. I use Cross Fade
Tracks, which works very well once you understand how to line up the tracks.
From the Tracks Menu, use Align Tracks to position the beginning of the
track you want to fade in at a suitable distance before the end of the one
you want to fade out. The distance will depend on material and your
judgement. Then apply the Cross Fade Tracks effect. You get options as to
the type of fade.
I am talking about recent versions of Audacity. Earlier versions had a
cross fade feature which did, well, I never did understand what but it
didn't cross fade.
If the above is not clear, ask more questions. I can put a sample together
if that helps.

Hi everyone,
Have any of you ever used the crossfade in and out features within the
affect menu in Audacity? They don’t appear to be dialog boxes, so I’m
assuming that their affect is immediate. For any of you who have ever used
these features, what exactly do these options do?
