that's a shame since it made working on quick and dirty sound design
prototyping very easy - I guess I'll just have to use the fade-in
fade-out handles and kludge my own cross fades then :\</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Just for the record, I agree with Kim in this situation. And I will point out an old mantra I teach my students "There are many right ways to do something in audio". </div>
<div><br></div><div>There are wrong ways yes, but often times in audio it can be right in many different ways. In this case, I often use the region overlaps as it is MUCH quicker than many other options (And any other option I know of) and I can get results that are often quite acceptable, especially on material that is not in the forefront of the mix. Of course I work on a variety of material, and while I find it more common in some workflows to use region overlap crossfades, I do find I often use it in some form or another on all workflows.</div>
