Event-Based Fades and Volume Envelopes

When working with picture, consider using event-based fades and volume envelopes.

Event-based fades and volume envelopes are useful for the following reasons:

• They are calculated in real time which gives you instant feedback of your edits while playback continues.

  As long as you release the event handle before the cursor reaches the event, you can hear the result of your edit.

• They are calculated before the audio signal is sent to the MixConsole.

  If you insert a compressor plug-in on an audio track and you increase the volume of an event on that track, this will increase the input signal that reaches the compressor plug-in, and the plug-in changes the gain reduction accordingly.

• They move together with the event.
