Hi, I’ve been proving how to Cross Fade and one possibility is by creating an Event Sound.

I don’t understand what that means. When and why it is important to create an Event Sound?

It is a little problematic for me that Events doesn’t have a temporal scale.

Thanks.

What do you mean by a “temporal scale,” and how does it differ from the timeline?

Why do you think you need to create an event sound? It’s possible to cross fade without one; Just overlap the two sound modules you want to cross fade between.
