Working with fade points

Automation allows you to vary the volume and pan of each track over time. By default, MixPad displays the automation for the volume of a track. You can swap between Pan, Volume and No automation by using the drop down list on each track's control panel (left of the track). You can add fade points to this envelope by placing the project cursor at the location you would like to have a fade point, and choose 'Add Fade Point' from the 'Edit' menu.

To edit a fade point tap on the point you wish to edit and drag it to a new location.

To remove a fade point, select the fadepoint, then select Edit --> Delete Fade Point from the menu.

Cross fading

A common usage of fade points is to crossfade two audio tracks to create a smoother transition between them. MixPad features a short cut option for doing this. Just select the two clips you wish to cross fade and select Edit --> Cross Fade Selected Clips from the menu. The clips need to overlap in order for this to work, either on separate tracks or the same track. At this point you can then edit the fade points as described above to fine tune the fade.
