Hi and thaks for the nicest free audio editor!

Although I think it would be even more nice if the crossfade loop could be made with constant power fade curves instead of linear ones. An option for this? This might not be the biggest thing but it would allow us to edit smooth loops (steady notes, chords, ambiences) without a volume gap in audio. Which makes the crossfade kinda useless..

I just checked Acoustica and it still can not do that, even though that should be pretty basic. Sound Forge Audio Studio does it (by default, no options for other curves I believe) but for some reason produces also clics to fade region start and end (!)

If I had to buy a premium €€€ audio editing suite for this I would feel quite dumb.. And I would rather support free software also.

What say you?

Cheers,

Welcome Antti,

That's a good suggestion, the crossfade is set to "equal gain" for the moment, and adding equal power is very possible (and that's planned, i see a "custom" that is grayed in the crossfade menu)

Nice, thanks for the reply!

That would really help especially with creating longer ambience loops where you need to do a longer fade and you really hear the volume drop.

I guess the next thing to do could then be to be able to manually define the loop crossfade point? But really this first one would solve a lot.

Nice to have such quick feedback, keep going. I will get back when I find new suggestions.
