Dyaxis, Fairlight and ProTools are my editors of choice I was
wondering in Audition, does one have the opportunity to set
the "slope" of the the edit, ie the duration of the splice
in frames or mS ? Some classical edits require a very long
transition from take to take to make them work successfully.


Yes, that is certainly there. Actually punching works particularly nicely,
I find.


I knew a very skilled music editor in the UK, Suzie Taylor,
who used to mark all her edits "on the fly" with a technique
whereby she pre-empted the cut by making the downstroke
to the keyboard just a little early and with a sharp rebound,
just as one might hit the underside of a cymbal with a stick.
It worked very well indeed. Then she pressed a three key
sequence which she had stored as a macro: "Auto-Edit",
"Wind to top of Segment", "Play".for the splices to be
executed, and played back: Rarely was there anything
that needed to be trimmed afterwards.
