Put the volume automation fade on the Master bus.

Hi Mark,

Can you send me some documentation on how I can do that please?  Much appreciated.

Thanks.

When you use the fade handles on audio clip, what you're doing is fading out the clip.

Using automation on the audio track volume, fades out the track:


 

Hi again Mark,

When I apply that Automation fade on my tracks, how do I do it so that all 3 tracks fade out at the same time?  Notice that they all don't end at the same time. 

Thanks.

That's great, I'll try doing that.  Thanks Mark!

Thanks Glenn, I'm all about keeping things simple but I also want the most flexibility possible because I know I will always be tweaking a song long after it's recorded.  I wish there was a way for someone to show me this.  I'm very visual and hands-on when it comes to learning this.  Once I understand it by seeing it in real time, I retain the information better and I'd be off to the races.

You may render audio to either an audio track or directly into the instrument track but there is no requirement to do so.

There are only two base track types in CbB: audio and MIDI. 

An instrument track is nothing more than a presentation of an audio+MIDI track pair

This is why both audio and instrument tracks may host audio clips.

 

Hi scook, some good info there, thank you.  So what does that look like when I'm building a song?  For each instrument (Piano, Guitar, Drums, etc.) do I have to add the Instrument track as well as an Audio track and somehow link them together?  Not sure if that makes any sense so I apologize in advanced.  Just trying to set a foundation for recording and stick with that.  Thanks

I understand, so did I skip something or do something wrong at the beginning when I first recorded?  I only have a regular music keyboard as a MIDI and it's connected into my computer via the USB input.  I use the plugins from the Instrument list and have added some free ones along the way.  How do I go about doing that and recording in Audio?  Sorry, newbie here.  I thought I had this down but it seems I don't

Thanks.

Another question, can I convert the Instrument tracks to Audio tracks?  What are the advantages / disadvantages?  Would you recommend doing that?

Thanks.

Thank you for the info and tip, I will try that Automation method and see how it goes.

Hey all, I've read and watched so many tutorials on how to fade in/out of a track.  They all show the Fade icon when the cursor is placed at the top of the track and you just have to drag it to apply the fade.  Fine, I got it.  Only problem is that it doesn't work for me.  When I place the cursor at the top of the track, instead of the fade triangle icon, I get this grey rectangle and it seems to just move the window.  Am I missing something?  This should be a pretty straight forward task to do.  Thanks.

Hi there, simple question.  Is there a way to un-check the favorite selection in the Start Screen?  Right-click doesn't work.

Thanks.
