Cubase, fadeout doesn't work in 15/8

[Torniojaws]

This strange thing keeps happening to me. Cubase simply refuses to set a fade out to anything that's recorded in 15/8 time in Cubase. One of two things happen:

1) It does not set the fade out at all. When you type the number, it simply resets back to 0 immediately. If you mouseclick on it (the "+" thingy), it does a roll between 0 and -1 for as long as you hold the mouse button down.

2) It sets the fade out to something ridiculously long, and seemingly random number. For example, if I set the fade out to 0.0.0.1 (I guess it's 1 millisecond), it instantly changes it to 0.10.0.1 (or ten 8th notes starting from the end of the wave), which in this case makes the 1 ms fadeout that I want last 2 seconds instead uke: )

If I then type zero over the 10 in the 0.10.0.1, it just keeps reverting back to 0.10.0.1, and not 0.0.0.1 as I want it to.



Any help would be appreciated

You could always just finish the mix, then bring the wave back into cubase and apply a fade out by clicking on process and then fade out.

But it's in the middle of a seam between two takes :zombie: There's a pop right between the two parts, and a short fadeout would fix it. Of course, I could manually edit it out, but since it happens often in non-4/4 time signatures, it would be a drag to fix it that way.

pop between two consecutive takes? Have you tried a crossfade? I've always done that instead of fading one out and the other in, as it's the same thing, just automatically taken care of.

Nevermind.

I just wish the crossfader would be easier to set. It's very nitpicky and inaccurate to quickly place it, especially when you use it often. I like the quick and dirty way you can do it with fade out. Just select all waves and type 1 in the top bar, and that's that. No zooming in and tweaking/moving crossfade bars.

haha, next time just select the two takes and press "x"

Like I said, it adds a standard length crossfade regardless of tempo or anything. What it adds is almost a 1 second long crossfade, or in other words, completely unusable

And that leads to you having to manually move each crossfade section separately to small enough durations that it won't be noticeable.
