First this is version 10.5 I’m referencing.
The crossfade handles are missing.
Well a screen grab would be useful for folks to see what’s happening.
Absent any details, I’m gonna guess you’ve converted an Audio Event into an Audio Part.

Audio Event into an Audio Part. – I don’t understand why this is important, kindly educate me please.
Yes that’s the issue. You can tell it’s a Part because it looks like a box within a box.
- An Audio Event is like a ‘window’ into an Audio File that encompasses some or all of the Audio in that file.
- An Audio Part is like a ‘box’ that can hold one or more Audio Events. This allows you to treat this collection of various bits of Audio as if it were one thing.
Fade In & Out and Crossfades are associated with Events and not Parts. So you need to access the Events to Edit them. You can do this 3 ways, depending on what you want.
- Double Clicking on it will open the Part Editor where you can directly access the Events.
- Dissolve the Part (Audio>Dissolve Part) and just use the individual Events.
- Render In Place will create a new Audio Event out of the Part. Which you can then edit.
I rarely use Audio Parts. Edit>Group lets you select Audio & MIDI Parts, Audio Events, Chord Events, etc. (pretty much what ever you can move around in the Project Window) and lock them together when moving them around. This provides a lot of the functionality of Audio Parts in a more flexible manner.
