I don’t use linear fades that much which happens to be the default everywhere in WL7.
In audio montages, I defined sine as the default fade and equal power as the default crossfade using the preset/drawer tools. However, the next time, they’re back to linear.
In audio file editing, I wonder if the default can be changed also so I don’t need the mouse and menu every time.
You need to save the montage as a montage template after changing the default fade-in fade-out or crossfade. (file/save special, as template). Otherwise the changed defaults only apply to the montage you made them in.
For the audio file editing, there’s a default fade control in the menu Options/Audio File editing prefs, but I’m not sure it controls what you need controlled.
I don’t think that’s it, although I must admit I don’t know where that parameter comes in.
What I’d like to do is select a region at the beginning/end of a file and hit, say, cmd-F for fade or cmd-D for easy fade. But the resulting fade should be sine rather than linear.
So the curve that is selected in this dialog will be applied to the Easy Fade command (cmd-D), correct? I didn’t know that, because the way that is lumped together with the 10 ms default fade time made me think it’s applied elsewhere, perhaps when trimming or something.
So cmd-D for your preferred curve and cmd/shift-F for a linear fade.
