By Graham English. MIDI devices can include keyboards, drum pads, alternative controllers such as guitar MIDI systems, and more. Although you don't need a MIDI controller to make music with Logic Pro, it's a lot more fun if you have a way to play software instruments. Logic Pro X 10.5 - 10.4.8. MacBook Pro i9 - 16 Gb ram - Catalina 10.15.5. You have MIDI regions, and you cannot fade a MIDI region since there's no audio data to. I'm watching all these tutorials on how to use the fade/crossfade and they are all using audio tracks to do this, but I'm trying to slow down the final note of a beat on an instrument. When I click the fade tool I am not able to even highlight anything in the green midi track boxes. You will often create fade ins or fade outs on audio regions, including Apple Loops audio files, or use crossfades to smoothly segue between two adjacent (or overlapping) audio regions on a track. The latter type of fade, the crossfade, can be performed automatically on overlapping audio regions using Logic Pro.
Do you want to cross fade 2 audio clips in your Logic Pro project?
It is actually way easier than you might think. You simply need to first use the correct 'Drag Setting' in the user interface of the Logic sequencer, by selecting 'X-Fade' (see picture).
Then as soon as you drag an audio part so that it overlaps another audio part in your sequencer, the overlapping part will have a cross fade applied automatically.
If you want to customize the cross-fade (which is equally distributed between the clips by default) you can hover your mouse at the top part of the cross-fade, then left-click and drag either to the left or the right.

Hello,
Logic Pro X Tutorial
I typically create crossfades using automation, which is a great way to do this because you can control the timing of the crossfade. This is accomplished by selecting desired channel and pressing the 'A' key and it will add the automation to each track.
Then all you have to do is assign the parameter for the channels that you want to crossfade...I did the example with panning but you would want to use the volume parameter.
After that you will see a gray line appear in the middle of the 'track'. Click on this line and it will turn color, which will allow you to change the parameters of the channel volume.
Then all you have to do is click on this colored line where you want the crossfade to start and it will create a point that you can click and drag to modify the channel volume. All you have to do is find the spot of the recording where you want to perform the crossfade and drag the 'handles' that you just created so that the channels volumes are moved from what level you have them at to whatever you want them to be.
