CHAPTER 2: EDITING AUDIO FILES 261• Long Echo has a long delay and a strong decay which results in longerrepetitions, though it fades away faster.• Long Repeat has a short delay and weak decay, therefore making the echo lastlonger (though each repetition comes in faster cycles).• Resonance has a short delay with little decay and a very short bound. Thisresults in a quick and fast echo, sort of like an "audio shadow."• Stadium echo is very similar to Long Echo but starts sooner and ends faster.Performing a cross fadeA cross fade is where one audio track blends smoothly into another, head to tail. Tocross fade two files, click Edit: Cross Fade. This opens the Cross Fade dialog box,which allows you to select the file you want to blend with. (You can only cross fadebetween files with the same properties.) Select the file to cross fade with from theCross Fade with list box and then enter a value in the Cross duration spin box(in M:S:ms) to determine how much of the two files overlap. If you do not specifya duration, the second file is added to the end of the active file. Once you have anoverlap duration, select one of the Transformation curve options to specify thetype of fade to occur between the two tracks. A Linear fade produces a constantfade from one to the other, while an Exponential fade begins slowly and endsquickly and the Logarithmic fade begins quickly and ends slowly.
