Audio Edit Crossfade

[Benedict]

This may be a silly Q or a Feature Request:

Is there a way to default the Crossfade in Audio Editing to ON?

I have tried setting the Crossfade to on then slicing the audio but the new slice (the one on the right) is not set to crossfade. Can it be set up to crossfade always?

This is one thing that I have liked about Reaper as it makes edits fast. Overall tho Reson is still way faster for the way I work - even tho I have to bounce every few mins to avoid slowdown.

Yeah this would be a much welcomed addition (to just set and forget) in the preferences.

Would be good to have as an option. However, for me, it works perfectly the way it currently works, I don't always need a cross-fade but when I need do, pressing X does the job swiftly enough.

This would be a welcome addition as a preference IMO.
I also used to use the heck out of batch crossfades in Pro Tool, but for those to work well for me there would have to be an option to complete the crossfade BEFORE the current edit point (for drum editing especially). That way you don't end up getting a double-attack when adding a crossfade on top of an edit. It would also be handy because you won't have to manually overlap clips and can apply the same fade across tracks/groups of tracks such as adding a 15 ms crossfade to all edits on all drum tracks, as one common (for me) example. All in a single command!
Which is an excellent example of how one can add features to an app which can actually SIMPLIFY the workflow rather than complicating it.

Crossfades in Reason drive me nuts, improvements are very welcome.

Oh I didn't know there was a shortcut key for it!
This will help a bit, but I would also prefer to have it on by default

+1 for this.

As I can’t really see a reason why yoid want to be able to drag one audio clip onto another and have the latter one be preferential, yeah. X fade default or at least preset.

That said, there’s got to be a list of things that could be preset toggle on and off at this point. It come up often but reason pref is pretty basic.

I also did not know there was a shortcut for it. Makes it a lot more fun.

Ooh "X" as a shortcut. This I did not realize. Silly me for not checking. That will definitely help

Reason's Audio editing is actually very elegant. I tried a podcast in Reaper but after about a minute of material went back to Reason as Reaper only seems to work at the play head whereas with Reason I can be swapping tools Q, R, Q, R, Q and now maybe X! in advance pf the playing point as I know what my speaker looks like (in an audio waveform) that is.
