Wow, that's some good information. I appreciate you taking the time to explain
all of it.

You need to create an unlinked crossfade and set the parameters in such a way
that the fade out and fade in are instantaneous.
Select the range from a few ticks before the second region begins to how ever
many ticks into the second region you'd like the first region to last. Press
Command-f to open the fades dialog. Press the "None" button to unlink the two
fades. I think the shortcut for that is Shift-down arrow a couple of times. To
set the fade out to be at it's maximum power until the very end, press
Control-right arrow several times, like 7 times just to be on the safe side
although probably only 3 will do. I'll explain later.
To make the fade in instantaneous, press Option-left arrow several times.
Press Enter and audition the result with Command-Option-left or right arrow,
providing you have a value greater than 0 in your pre and post roll fields.
A word about fade in and out shapes. The control-left and right arrows cycles
through fade out shapes. Think of it as left to right and it doesn't cycle
through.
Here are the fade shapes:
1. Instant attack, no decay, sound just cuts out right at the beginning of
the selection.
2. Very fast attack, slow decay. Sound Fades very quickly at first and slowly
fades toward the end.
3. Fast attack, gentle decay.
4. Equal Gain. Steady fade.
5. Slow attack, fast decay. Initial fade is gradual and speeds up toward the
end.
6. Slower attack, very fast decay. Fade starts out very gradually and speeds
up toward the very end.
7. No attack, instant silence at the end of selection.
The shapes for Fade-ins are exactly the same only reversed so that, for
example, in shape #2, the initial fade-in is extremely quick and slopes gently
up as it approaches the selection end. Fade #6, on the other hand, has a very
slow initial entrance and a very fast slope up in volume as it reaches the end
of the selected fade range.
The subject of crossfades is quite complex and there are a lot of things to
consider. I'm giving you the sort of reader's digest version but I hope it
helps.

Ok, I have a four bar hook that I want to paste to make 8 bars all
together. The 4 bar section goes a few ticks into bar 5. When I paste the
section it pastes over the last few ticks and cutts it off. Is there a setting
to be able to have the pasted section overlap over the end of the origenal
section? I know I can duplacate all the tracks and do it that way, but it seems
kind of rediculus to have to duplacate 6 more tracks when I would think a fade
setting would be available.
Thanks for any thoughts
