![]() For example, if you have several compatible instrument loops or even one long clip from the same session, you can often juggle individual phrases to get new loops in the same style and key. Loops & EffectsĬrossfading is a handy sound-design tool for combining and repurposing loops and sound-effects samples. Crossfades are Arrangement specific, but you can Consolidate the entire crossfaded region into a single audio clip for saving or working in Session view. Although that handle will move in any direction, you cannot reproduce curves like the one in the two-track example, in which the two handles are at different positions. The Curve handle at the intersection of the two fades shapes the crossfade. The crossfade is limited to the length of the overlap, which is indicated by a dashed vertical line as you drag. (It makes no difference which clip overlaps the other, and you can even use the fade handles to change which overlaps which after the fact.) To create the crossfade, drag the top Fade handle of the overlapped clip into the overlapped region. The first step is to overlap the two clips on the same track, as shown at the top of the lower example in Screen 1. When you don’t need separate effects processing or different curve shapes, a single-track crossfade is simpler and faster to set up. You can use the two-track version or Resample it (shown in pink) for use in Scenes, other songs or sampled instruments. The fade-out of the top clip and fade-in of the bottom clip are the same length but have different shapes owing to the different positions of their Curve handles. In this example, a reverb effect is inserted on the track holding Clip 2. The clips’ Fade handles at the top and bottom and Curve handle in the middle shape individual fades that together crossfade the two voicings. The top of Screen 1 shows two audio clips containing different electric piano voicings of the same chord. ![]() If you’re not familiar with using audio clip fades in Live, have a look at the ‘Hands On’ box for the basics. ![]() Either approach is a useful tool in both arranging and sound design. Creating crossfades with clips on separate tracks lets you apply separate audio effects processing and offers more flexible shaping of the fade curves, whereas crossfading clips on the same track is simpler and requires only one track. This time we’ll take an in-depth look at Live’s versatile approach to audio clip fading and crossfading in the Arrangement view. We see how crossfades can be used creatively and cosmetically in Live. Screen 1: The two-track crossfade (top) is a bit more versatile than the single-track crossfade of overlapping clips shown below.
