Question

Every day I come across something else from Presonus that keeps me from creating fluidly, and this one is just the latest in frustrations.  I'm trying to edit vocal parts, debreathing them by hand.  There's that little pop that comes up when you truncate a clip which could be fixed by autofading.  Instead of allowing me to do this, S1 prevents me from doing it on about 50% of the clips after I snip them up.  This seems to be limited to events that have been merged.

The work around is clunky and asinine.  I must first move each clip to a new track, bounce it - which is often shorter than a measure (why in god's name do you bounce an entire measure when all I want is this little snippet?!?), trim it back down to its original size AGAIN, then move it back into place on the track where it belongs.  The other way is to select all events on the track, group, bounce, then snip them up again.

The way S1 treats clips and parts is a little antiquated.  What you should be doing is nesting all media, including MIDI, inside events and treating all events as the same class so that they can be faded.

I created a simpler (more likely to get implemented) feature request for this you can vote on: https://answers.presonus.com/46228/add-ability-to-fade-audio-parts-like-events

They’re not buggy, just not setup the way you want

Also if you turn off snap to grid with N then bouncing will not require additional trimming as you mentioned.

I’d love for them to put in fading merged events but until then it sounds like you could benefit from taking a second look at the way the current tools are setup:

From a Support tutorial:

You cannot just grab a fade handle on an Audio Part to fade clips inside of it.   You would instead double click the Audio Part and perform those edits in the editor.    However, the actions "Fade in To Cursor" and "Fade Out From Cursor" (they are unbound by default so if you want to use them go to the Keyboard Shortcuts editor and bind them to keys) will work on audio parts for that.

also, you can Select an audio part and hit Shift+X to create small auto-fades on all the clips in the audio part.
