Bumps in the edited audio.

Action wrote on 6/19/2009, 6:11 AM

Anyone notice that when you make a timeline cut in VMSP 9b, if you then zoom right into the audio track, at the edit point there's 2 very short duration fades .. one each, on the end of and the start of the incoming audio. If you click on 'em they disappear.

I figure they're meant to remove the output and input 'bumps' in the audio when you drag the edited sections together.

Anyone know how to remove them altogether from 9b .. for me they're a nuisance. Thx.

Cheers.

They are there to prevent clicks at cuts that are made at non-zero crossings, which hardly anyone is going to take the time to do.

And yes, you can turn them off in preferences.

Thanks, can you point to the right control?

Cheers.

In Vegas Pro 8 (probably similar in VMS):

Click Options >> Preferences >> "Editing" Tab:
"Quick fade length for audio events" (default is 10 mS)

Be aware, however, that chopping off an audio event without the short little fade can result in little pops or clicks at the point it is cut off. (Or at least that's what I understand the purpose of the quick fades to be...)

Hi Tim thanks, yep that's correct. Sound is my speciality I'd rather manually look at each audio edit.

Sometimes I'd click on those 10ms to remove them but after dragging the audio tks. together to hear what a fade sounds like, those little 10ms fades reappear. A nuisance for me.

Cheers.
