Create fades on audio regions in Logic Pro for iPad
You can fade in the beginning of audio regions, and fade out the end of audio regions (including audio Apple Loops) using the Fade Start and Fade End parameters in the inspector. Fades are visible in the Tracks area when you have zoomed in enough to see the waveform in the audio region.
You can edit the length of a fade, the fade curve shape, and the fade type. You can also edit the playback speed of fades using the Speed Up (for fade-ins) and Slow Down (for fade-outs) Style settings.
Create a fade-in on an audio region
In Logic Pro, select one or more audio regions.
Tap the Inspector button to open the inspector.
Tap the Fade Start disclosure triangle to show region parameters for fade-ins.
Note: Time values for fade-ins are expressed in milliseconds with a maximum fade time of 99,999 ms (nearly 100 seconds).
Tap the Style menu, then choose Fade-In (for normal speed) or Speed Up (for a speed-up effect).
To set the length of the fade, do one of the following:
Drag the Time value up or down to edit the fade length.
Tap the Time value, then then edit the value in the numeric input dialog using the Decrement/Increment buttons, the scroll wheel, or the numeric keypad.
Do one of the following to set the fade curve shape:
Drag the Curve value up or down to edit the fade curve.
Tap the Curve value, then then edit the value in the numeric input dialog using the Decrement/Increment buttons, the scroll wheel, or the numeric keypad.
Create a fade-out on an audio region
In Logic Pro for iPad, select one or more audio regions.
Tap the Inspector button to open the inspector.
Tap the Fade End disclosure triangle to show region parameters for fade-outs.
Note: Time values for fade-outs are expressed in milliseconds with a maximum fade time of 99,999 ms (nearly 100 seconds).
Tap the Style menu, then choose Fade-Out (for normal speed) or Slow Down (for a slow-down effect).
To set the length of the fade, do one of the following:
Drag the Time value up or down to edit the fade length.
Tap the Time value, then then edit the value in the numeric input dialog using the Decrement/Increment buttons, the scroll wheel, or the numeric keypad.
Tap the Type pop-up mend and choose the fade-out type. The choices are:
Out: Creates a standard fade-out whenever the Fade tool or Fade parameter is used.
X (Crossfade): Crossfades the selected region with the following region when you use the Fade tool or Fade parameter.
EqP (Equal Power Crossfade): Results in an equal power crossfade. This minimizes volume dips between audio regions, resulting in a more even crossfade between regions that may be slightly different in level.
X S (S-Curved Crossfade): Delivers an S-curved crossfade. The fade curve, as the name suggests, is S shaped.
The last three items in the pop-up menu can only be applied to the first of two consecutive regions. Also note that the Fade In (and corresponding Curve) parameters are made redundant when any of the X, EqP, or X S options are chosen.
Do one of the following to set the fade curve shape:
Drag the Curve value up or down to edit the fade curve.
Tap the Curve value, then then edit the value in the numeric input dialog using the Decrement/Increment buttons, the scroll wheel, or the numeric keypad.
