Cool Edit Crossfade

blackaspen	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 2:54 AM It seems that whenever I save an MP3 file when I'm done editing it, Cool Edit automatically adds a crossfade for the beginning, and end of the file. Heh, to say the least, this is not helping me for looping. Anyone have tips on how to turn this thing off?

blackaspen	Date: March 17, 2006 @ 3:19 PM Okay, I tried out Audition as well, and it still gives me the same effect. Messing around, it seems to only happen when saving MP3s... To reiterate, when ever I save a clip, both Cool Edit and Audition automatically add a slight fade in at the beginning of the clip, and then a fade out at the end, which just ruins custom loops. They are slight fades, only a few milliseconds long, but it's just SOO annoying.
EchoMinor	Date: March 17, 2006 @ 8:05 PM is it possible your audio player is the one fading things out? because i know they sometimes have that ability. for instance the musicmatch jukebox had a feature where it would auto fade in and out of tracks, and if you are just playing one track it would most likely just keep fading in and out if you are looping it.
blackaspen	Date: March 17, 2006 @ 9:20 PM Hmm, no, it's not the player... I've actually found something even more interesting out too. When I save the file as a WAV, there's no fade.. it seems to only be when saving as an MP3. I know it's not the player because when I import the MP3 into Cool Edit/Audition, the fade is visible in the wavelengths, but in the wav, the wavelengths are just as I cut them. Thanks for the response though, Calendar!
DeadraveN	Date: March 18, 2006 @ 1:32 PM hmm.. i used CE2K for years and never had that happen.. it is interesting though,... I'm half tempted to dig up the prog and see if I can figure out what's happening...
blackaspen	Date: March 18, 2006 @ 2:53 PM It's so weird... I came to the conclussion that I could save my original edits as WAVs (without the auto-fading), and then just use another program to convert them from WAV to MP3. EVERY program I have tried all have the same effect, where when the file becomes an MP3, the auto-fading occurs. (I've tried roughly 5 programs, and even tried converting a WAV to WMA to MP3, still getting the problem at the MP3 stage) I can't help but to wonder... Is this something to do with my system? What evil presence could be doing this?
imsproductions	Date: April 28, 2006 @ 1:36 AM I don't understand that either, I have had no problems at all with cool edit pro. No fading, chopping or anything when converting files to mp3 they convert flawlessly no change in sound or quality....
Engine11RDenny	Date: May 29, 2006 @ 11:40 AM Maybe you have a plugin added somewhere that's making cool edit do that. Or you have that setting checked in cool edit itself Look in settings click "F4" click the "data" tab and try unchecking "Smooth all edit bounderies by crossfading"
Engine11RDenny	Date: May 29, 2006 @ 11:42 AM Winamp has an automatic crossfade plugin - maybe the mp3 player your using is corupting cooledit.
