Crossfades

[fwafitz]

I posted this message on the Host Tips & Techniques Forum but so far no takers, so I'll try here...(what's the difference in these 2 forums anyway? The content seems pretty much the same. How do I decide which forum to post a question on, or do I post to both?)

Anyway, on to my topic...

Please help me get a better understanding of "crossfades" --- how and when they are used, what are they good for, how they fix things, when not to use them, any possible applications, specific examples (especially related to live drumkit editing), anything!... Right now, I don't have any idea how they are utilized.

Also, if you know of other places where I can go to learn more about this topic, please point me in that direction.

Thanks for any info.
