Exponential Fade

Hi,

I confess that I have never been aware of an "automatic exponential fade/gain" issue that you mention. To my knowledge audio clips do not automatically fade unless the fade is embedded in the clip itself. Are you talking about the fades that can be imparted with the fade handles at the ends of audio clips? There is also another way to fade by holding down the Option key and adding dots to the horizontal volume line. Then you drag each dot to adjust the fade as you want.

When you use the dots are you still finding that the fade is "exponential" and not straight line?

I don’t see how it can be “exponential” if you can adjust it with the dots. You can drag out the fade for five minutes if you want. Can’t be more “straight line” than that. I don’t have equipment to measure it, so I’ll take your word for it if it sounds exponential to your ear.

Hmmm. Very interesting. I am now educated. Is that something that you can actually hear with the ear? I would think that by the time the fade ends it would hardly be noticeable, the volume being so low, and the video playing. Have you found that adjusting the dots is a feasible workaround?
