Crossfades in Loops

Crossfading is useful to create smooth transitions between the end of a loop and its beginning, especially when using material that is not perfectly suited to create a loop.

Sometimes it is impossible to find a loop that does not cause any glitches. This is especially true for stereo material, where you might be able to find a perfect candidate for only one channel.

In this case crossfading smears the material around the end loop point so that it loops perfectly. This is achieved by mixing material from before the loop start with material that is located before the loop end.

Note

This technique alters the waveform and therefore changes the sound.
