Default Re: Crossfades issue

Whenever I do a crossfade in 10 it has a doubling effect, instead of a smooth blend
I have noticed no change in cross fade behavior since PT 5.1. It all depends on the instrument, cross fade type, cross fade length, cross fade location and integration between the cross faded clips.

Some instruments call for a short equal gain type fade, some for a long equal power type fade, and other call for in between. On some material, it is almost impossible or impossible to get a perfectly smooth fade, so you have to experiment to get the best you can and hope that it will go unnoticed in the mix.

There are different cases of doubling - for instance, kick drums and pianos can often get "doubled" if the cross fade is sloppy, but the audible effect is different by nature. Which instrument are you working on?
