Question

I'm a former Pro Tools user (about 12+ years ago) and love Studio One, but I have to say the one thing that is far better about Pro Tools is the cross fades. When placing two separate takes together, I find it very hard to make it sound seamless in Studio One - but in Pro Tools, simple cross fades almost always worked on the first try. My feature request is to study the Pro Tools cross fades and make Studio One work the same way - for example where all you need to do is highlight both clips together and do ctrl-F. Kudos on the rest of Studio One - everything is working great for me.

Answer 1

Thank you for the feature request. 

If anyone else agrees or disagrees, then please vote it up, or down. 

To vote:

In agreement click on the little blue triangle pointing up.

In disagreement click on the little blue triangle pointing down.

The developers pay close attention to those that are voted on the most. 

You are allowed one vote. 

Just viewing and agreeing but not clicking on the vote does not help the issue. 

Please click on one or the other. 

Answer 2

Agreed! And, being able to click a fade and delete it, and without it creating a gap.

Answer 3

+1 I've been struggling with that 5mins ago... :-)

AND: If you cut out Audio from a track and move it somewhere on the same track (it becomes this weird grey clip and) S1 doesn't create the Crossfade between the two clips but over the whole grey area (+I can't even grab the grey region anymore if it's not overlapping...) Pretty likely to be a user mistake. If not, I would love to see this fixed soon. Thank you for your great user support!

Answer 4

I emphatically support this feature request! I came from PT to S1 and never looked back, until I did a project recently with a lot of audio editing. It was horrible and I found myself almost making the switch back to PT. Creating crossfades for a selected range in S1 is such a huge pain, I'm surprized a better workflow hasn't been implemented yet: You have to drag audio clip A border to the right and audio clip B border to the left so the overlapping area matches the crossfade you want, then select clip A and B, then hit my Create Crossfade shortcut. That's a whole lot of mouse action compared to the PT way: Make a selection between two adjecent audio clips, hit your shortcut. I made a macro in S1 to simulate this simple function, but only got 95% of the way. What's missing is the ability to extend an audio clip's border. At the moment it seems you can only trim it. Also: I really wish there was a way to write scripts in S1, like the .jsx scripting in Adobe After Effects. That would be huge.

Answer 5

A thousand times yes!  The genious in PTs way of doing fades is treating each fade as a clip. Also being able to position two clips next to each other and drag in a crossfade from the middle is a much more natural workflow than SO way of doing it. I know where my clips should be, let me make a crossfade from the center of where the crossfade ends up.

Answer 6

This might be the number one thing holding me back from switching to SO from PT. I probably do 10,000 fades in a year, most of them cross fades. If SO can't match the workflow and options PT has for fades, I'll never be able to commit to it.

Answer 7

I need this :)

Answer 8

This is just basic functionality that pro tools has since the start. This simple action is terrible & difficult in Studio One . Hard to believe it is not in implemented correctly. If I need to do a lot of fades I still revert back to Protools for the sake of my sanity.

Answer 9

Definitely need this!

Answer 10

YES! This is probably my biggest problem with Studio One. Editing events is. The layered editing in Pro Tools is so great and goes well with fades. Would love to see fades and general editing get improved so I can make the full jump from PT.

Answer 11

That is that useful for sure! also, could be great to have a customizable GUI or different skin look when you can switch DAW's skins and make it better looking or just simplified on purpose, don't have to be complex in terms of graphic visualization but this extra oomph should make a difference. I have missing in the editing window or on the timeline audio window waveforms with a tiny thin outline around them which looks very nice in Pro Tools and gives more clarity for the audio editor.
