"Peak Pro is a registered trademark of Bias Incorporated and I am in no way affiliated with Bias Incorporated. In this lesson, I'm going to be teaching you how to create fades in Peak Pro. If you want to make sure that you have your cursor selected, first thing I got to need to do is select where you want your fade to be at. So I'm going to fade in at the beginning of my song. So what I do just select where I want that fade to be. And If I come up to my tool bar, I'm going to drag this over and may have to drag this out to see all of the icons. But I've got the, looks like two triangles, your fade in and your fade out. I'm going to select the fade in there. And as you can see, it adjust the wave form and creates a very linear fade in. So, if I go ahead and play that, you see that it fades in. I'm going to go to then end of my song here, and to create a fade out, you can do just the opposite, you can select where you want the fade out to be and select the other triangle, the fade out triangle and that's going to create a fade out for you. As you can see. Another thing you can do is, I'm going to go ahead and undo that, if you come up to DSP, and you can also select your fade in, fade out here as well. But also if you select the gain envelope, you can get a little more control over your fade here. If you select where it says Current Envelope, you've got some options down here, you can fade in fast. That's going to look like that. And you can also Fade In-Linear which is like the other fades. And you can also fade out and do XFade and such things. And if you want to reverse it, all you have to do is click the, looks like a less ten in a greater than sign and that's going to just switch that round for you, and if you're happy with it, just click change and that's going to create a custom fade for you. So it's how you fade in and out of your wave forms in Peak Pro."
