It's just reverb added to the end of the track starting just before it fades. Yes, Audition has reverbs - several of them!

So I should put a fade out on the part of the song that I want and then I have to put the reverb? Would you like to advise me some kind of reverb that sounds like the one that you heard in the video?

No, it's fractionally more complicated than that. The particular effect is achieved most easily in Multitrack view. You need to add the reverb first to the track, but make sure it's sent to the output pre-fader. So when you put the fade on the track, the reverb remains. Possibly the easiest implementation is to use a bus for the reverb, and send the track prefade to the bus. This way, all you have to do is to control the volumes for each channel. So you leave the reverb low until you start the fade on the main track, and as you do this you increase the reverb at a suitable rate to replace the original. To make the reverb fade on its own at the end, you need the track to have a definite end to it.

As to what reverb - well it almost doesn't matter; they'd all do. What's most important is that there's very little, if any, early reflections in it.

Ok, I will try to do it. I was wondering if there is a video-guide of what you said.

Put a reverb into a bus track and automate the reverb to the part you want the effect to kick in. As for the settings, i'm not sure, but there's more to it than very wet signal.

No - if there was a video guide to every possible thing you could do with processing, then we'd never stop making them!

And quite frankly, you don't really learn a lot by blindly following video guides - you learn most by experimenting. I've set you off on the right lines, but to achieve exactly what you want, you're going to have to try a few things for yourself.

And I'm pretty sure that there isn't anything more to it than the wet signal.

You're right. I learned everything about audition (and also photoshop, pinnacle etc. ) by myself. And yesterday I tried to put a ''simple'' reverb with a fade out on the track, and I'm beginning to hear the same effect of the video. Just one more question, what do you mean with Wet Signal? (sorry but I'm Italian, hope you'll understand).

The Wet signal is the treated signal - in other words just the reverberation in this instance. The original signal sent to the reverb would be the Dry signal. Normally you would mix an appropriate amount of wet signal with dry signal when using an effect, but in your case the actual effect you are after is to vary the amounts of each.

The terms originated from the use of reverb as an effect - if you turned it up too much, people used to say that it's 'swimming in reverb' because it made it sound as though it was in a huge indoor swimming pool - hence the reference to 'wet'. Since then the terms have been used to apply to other effects as well.

You can automate the Wet/Dry mix of a track effect by modifying the automation envelope for that parameter:

1. Click the triangle at the bottom of your track, next to the button that says Read.

2. From the Select item, choose Rack Mix

3. A green line should appear in the automation lane. If you drag the line up and down, you should see the Mix: Dry ... Wet slider in the Effects Rack change values.

4. To achieve the effect from the video, where the sound changes from Dry to Wet smoothly but quickly, I'd recommend creating a curve something like the image below. (You'll need to adjust the duration to match your desired transition, of course, but this should give you some idea of what that envelope will look like)

edit: Does anyone else see images popup mostly out-of-view when clicked upon in the forums? This seems like a new problem to me, but I'm not sure if it's just my system/browser.

Think it may be your browser. Here in Firefox they open up to fill the window that the thread is in.

Thank you Steve G for the Wet Signal explanation and Durin for the guide.

Sorry guys if I make another question, but I have got the italian version of Audition.

I found the triangle that Durin mentioned, but after clicking I find this:

And I was wondering, you think that the effect of the first video is the same that you can hear in this clip at 1:45, to separate the two songs?

Ah, you're using Audition 3. The menu item will be a little different. Insert FX > Wet/Dry Mix

Unfortunately, the youtube link you posted isn't available from the US, so I can't see it.

No, that's just a carefully-beat-matched crossfade.
