Mixcraft Cross Fade Tutorial

Cross Fade Sounds

A cross fade is when two sounds are overlapped. While the first sounds volume is lowered over time, the second sound's volume is raised.

In Mixcraft, creating a cross fade is as simple as drag and drop. Simply drag or move a sound on top of another sound.
