# Making crossfades

Crossfades blend the end of one song with the beginning of the next one. There are several methods to achieve this in Audacity.

## Crossfading Clips

If you have two clips in one track you'd like to crossfade, you can use **Crossfade Clips** effect. To use it:

1. Have two clips in one track.
2. Select the region you'd like to apply the crossfade to. Try to select roughly the same amount of time in both clips.

   **Note:** Any empty space between the clips will be automatically removed and ignored in the crossfade.
3. Use **Effects > Fading > Crossfade Clips** to crossfade the clips.

## Crossfading between Tracks

To crossfade between tracks, use the following steps:

1. Position the clips on the tracks so that they overlap in the range you want to crossfade, and select the audio in the overlapping region in both clips:

2. Use **Effects > Fading > Crossfade Tracks** to crossfade the tracks.\

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.audacityteam.org/au3/audio-editing/making-crossfades.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
