Audio crossfade is greyed out (CA 10)

Cubase
1

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody encountered such a problem - crossfade in audio menu is greyed out, even when I select two audio events that are clearly overlapping. Pressing shortcut “X” on keyboard is also not doing anything. When I open old projects with crossfaded audio in them, I can open crossfade editor and edit the crossfade style, but as soon as I move the audio events apart and back so they are overlapping again, there is no option to crossfade the audio.

I tried restarting both Cubase and iMac, but that is not helping.

Perhaps I accidentally touched some setting that I’m not aware of, that disables the crossfading all together? This happened for the first time and despite browsing around Preferences, and Project Settings I cannot find anything related to that.

Would appreciate any input, what is the case here!

Thanks. Oh, and the screenshot is attached.

Is the audio track “Locked”? When you have a large audio overlap are like shown in the picture the “Lock” symbol gets obscured under the overlap.

Hi Prock,

No, the audio track is not locked. The same problem is with any old project that I open - the crossfade function is greyed out.

I discovered that when I log out and switch user on iMac and start Cubase from different user, the crossfade is working fine. So I’m guessing it has to do something with Cubase settings for a particular user, but I’m really desperate to find where these settings are? Preferences pane doesn’t suggest anything about crossfade functionality.

Anyone? :slight_smile:

Close the program, throw away in the trash the preference folder and then launch the program again.
