Only a 2 second fade at the end of a song?

This is irritating: I can only do a fade-out at the end of a song over a two second span. It is way too abrupt. Are there any ways to make the fade out more gradual?

Dave,
In Effects>Audio Transitions>Crossfades, you should have 2 Trransitions. Choose Constant Power, and drag it to the end of your Audio Clip. Depending on your settings in Edit>Preferences, you may need to drag the beginning of the Constant Power Crossfade to the left, to get the 5 sec., that you want.
Other method would be to highlight the Clip, and in the Effects Control panel, choose Volume. Go to 5 sec., before the end, and click the "stopwatch" to add a start Keyframes and add a Keyframe. Go to the end of the Clip and click the "add Keyframe" button. With the CTI still over that Keyframe on the end of the clip, drag the Volume slider to -00.0db.

  • How do I apply a fade to the end of an audio track?

    I'm using Captivate 7, and have added one of the Gallery sounds to a slide in my software simulation. I want the track to fade at the end of slide, so I guess I need to apply an effect. All the help refers to "clicking the triangle next to the audio track name" to expand the track for editing, then goes on to talk about keyframes. I don't see a triangle next to the track name, or next to anything related to the track. I am in the Effects workspace. Also, on the EFFECTS tab, all the selections are grayed out.
    I also tried adding a fade by using the settings on the PROPERTIES tab, but it doesn't affect the playback.
    How do I apply a fade effect?

    Effects have no relation whatsoever with audio clips, I don't understand why you were looking there.
    You can edit audio, and to get into the editor there are several ways. If this is slide audio, the clip is visible on the timeline and right-click menu has an option Edit. Another way is to find the clip in the Library, and the right-click menu on its name has more options, not only Edit in Captivate, but you can also use another application which I would recommend. The audio editor in Captivate is pretty limited, I'm using Audition, but Audacity is free to use.
    For an easy way to have a fade out (you can time it, not the way of fading like in a real audio editor), you don't even need the audio editor in Captivate. Look in the Properties panel, part Audio and you'll have Fade in and Fade out.

  • I am using logic pro x and do not know how to fade a track at the end of a song or change the volume in a portion of the track.

    I am using Logic Pro X. I do not know how to fade the volume at the end of a song or raise / lower the volume in an area of the track. I also have a loud instand volume blip in a portion of a track that I would like to lower or eliminate.

    Completely inappropriate, and they all also not help with volume adjustments. Fades will only apply to Audio Regions in the Tracks area: they will not fade out the complete mix unless you first Bounce it, add that to the Tracks area, apply the Fades with the Fade tool, then Bounce in Place (Again).
    Much much better to make use of Track automation to take care of Volume adjustments, and to Fade out the end of the song by applying Track Automation to the Output Channel

  • Fad out the end of a clip

    Can anybody tell me how I can fade out the end of the sound clip I have created in sound track pro?
    Thanks a lot.

    If you're in multitrack mode, you'll need to use volume automation. Click the arrow to the left of the track name to open the automation pane. Double-click on the volume automation line at the place you want your fade to begin. Double-click again at the place you want your fade to end and grab the little square dot to the bottom.

  • How do I open files from an external drive?  It's plugged into the second slot to the end.

    How do I open files from an external drive?  It's plugged into the second slot to the end.  Did I plug it into the right place and how do I find the drive when trying to attach a file in an email? 

    Files on an external hard drive open just like files on the internal drive - but I get the idea that you are having a problem just finding and seeing those files. Is that correct?

  • Strange digital artifacts at the end of each song importing via iTunes

    I've tried a few variations on archive searches and wasn't able to find an answer to this: In ripping some of my CD's into iTunes (either Apple Lossless or WAV) I've been getting some very odd, brief digital artifacts at the end of each songs on a CD. This sounds like two or three seconds of an audio tape on fast forward. It only seems to happen on new releases (I cannot think of any older CD's it's occurred on). I just got a copy of Mary Gauthier's new album (great CD by the way) and it happened on that one, for example. I tried ripping it multiple times in Apple Lossless, and WAV (always in iTunes) and each and every time it created files where this strange artifact existed at the end of every song. I play the CD I ripped the files from and the artifact is not there. I have several CD's, most of them recent releases over the past five years, that do the exact same thing. Otherwise everything else functions perfectly an the bulk of my 700+ CD library has imported without a hiccup. Is this some kind of anti-piracy technology...or do I simply have some setting off in my itunes preferences (Error-Correction is on, WAV or Apple Lossless is always set to Automatic, have experimented with importing to startup disk and external disk-same results). The artifacts seem to always sound the same too...they never vary, except that they sound different from song-to-song, but the same if say, the first cut is played over again. They are always 2 seconds plus or minus, and always at the end of a cut (the final 2 seconds or so). They do transfer verbatim to my iPod, and also play via iTunes through my stereo.
    Anyone have any clues what this might be?

    As a follow up, I went to the Genius Bar for a bowl of Mensa Stew, but only got some tepid broth. Here's what transpired:
    The girl I was speaking with suggested that the artifact was the software misinterpreting information between the cuts. It was only a theory. She had not heard of any other incidents to relay. First she suggested I rip as MP3's. I explained that wasn't an option for me. She listened to a few cuts on a CD I'd brought with, or rather the ends of the cuts and confirmed there was a problem with the rip. She went through my settings, and asked if I'd tried it with Error Correction turned off. I explained I hadn't and that I preferred to use it. She suggested attempting to rip one of the cuts with it turned off just to see how it did. We did that and no artifact was there. So her 'solution' was to either leave error-correction turned off always, or turn it off for those problem CD's that produce the artifact (I'd estimate about 5% do on my laptop). This did not explain why it was doing it, nor why my g5 tower, which is running a carbon-copied system with all the same iTunes settings, does not produce the artifact with Error-Correction turned on.
    I'd be interested to hear of anyone else who's been having problems importing hi-rez files in iTunes. I know of at least one other instance where the artifact produced (on a MacBook) is dis-similar to mine in that it takes the form of brief electronic beeps moving from channel to channel.
    Anyone else?

  • All my song in my playlists are cutting off either in middle or at the end of each song. How do i fix this?

    all my song in my playlists are cutting off either in middle or at the end of each song. How do i fix this?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Since installing latest iTunes my playlists stop at the end of each song -why?

    Most likely your songs got unchecked.  iTunes will not automatically advance to an unchecked song.
    First make sure you can see the checkboxes.  If not, Preferences > General, Show list checkboxes.
    If they have gone empty, you can recheck them all at once by holding the CMD or OPTION key (sorry I forget which on a Mac, so if one does not work try the other) and click any empty box.

  • When playing music, at the end of a song, instead of playing the next song in an album, it repeats the song that was just played

    When playing music on an Ipod Nano, at the end of a song, instead of playing the next song in an album.  The previous song repeats.  Any help?

    Check the iTunes Playback preferences and see if the Crossfade Playback option is turned on. If it is, you can either uncheck it or alter the slider to a more pleasing setting.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod reboots at the end of a song....Help!!!

    after doing the firmware update at the weekend (and updating to itunes 7) my ipod now intermittently reboots itself at the end of a song.
    it doesnt happen during every listening session, and not always with the same song - it just happens intermittently.
    when it reboots it goes to the black screen with the white apple logo.
    has anyone else had this problem?? it was ok prior to upgrading.
    thanks in advance!

    some podcasts make it reboot also.

  • HT203167 hi ive downloaded an album and it appears to miss the ending of some songs.  how do i redownload the album

    hi ive downloaded an album from itunes and it appears to be missing the end
    of some songs. can anyone tell me how to redownload it again

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Adding a simple audio fade at the end of a movie - help

    Hi gentlemen,

  • In ITunes when I'm using home sharing if I play the songs on another computer it cuts the songs off maybe 10 seconds plus from the end why is it doing this?

    So I have ITunes Home Sharing on my desktop computer on.  When I go to another computer and play the songs from the Home Share computer the songs get cut off maybe 10 seconds + at the end of the song.  In other words it will not play the last 10 seconds of the song sometimes it's last 5 seconds sometimes its the last 15 seconds it seems to vary.  I can't really find a pattern on the timing but I just don't understand why this is happening please help!

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • How can I add "End of Episode"? I only managed so far to enter the "End of Act".

    Hi there,
    I have used Adobe Story for the first time today. Everything worked really well. But now that I have finished my story, I need to add "End of Episode". What I only manage to do is add another "End of Act" and it automatically starts a new act.
    Thanks for your help.

    This is where the process gets a little more involved with a few more steps.
    There is no way to place a camera roll photo into a folder that was synced from your computer. You have to import it to the computer, place it into the sub folder of your choice on the computer, then sync again with iTunes.
    There are several ways that you can import photos to your computer from the iPad. You can read about those here.
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your ...
    There are apps that allow you to send your photos to the computer via WiFi. If you are interested ....
    Wifi Photo transfer apps for iPad
    One last item ....this will probably not apply to the way that you manage your photos and folders, but just so that you know .... albums that are created directly on the iPad are really only shortcuts to the actual photos that are on the device. When you create folders on the iPad itself, it does not contain a copy of the photo - merely a shortcut to that photo that allows it to appear in that folder.

  • I purchased an episode but it is only showing 30 seconds rather than the full 42 minutes. How do I get it to play the full episode as I can't seem to download it again?

    I downloaded a tv epsiode, but it doesn't show the entire 42 minutes. All I get is a clip of 30 seconds, rather than the entire 42 minute episode. I have tried to download the episode again, but it wont allow me to and I have also tried to download the series, but if I do that it wont deliver the epsiode that I already have suposedly downloaded. Anyone have any idea how to help?
