"Apply FX to item as new take" question
I am trying to use the "Apply FX to item as new take" feature to destructively apply fades to audio clips, however I find that this will sometimes result in a short tail being added to the end of the clip.
Is this normal behavior?
What I am trying to do, is achieve a crossfade loop by splitting an audio clip in half, then moving the first piece of the clip to the end and the end piece to the front and then overlapping them for the crossfade. I then glue the 2 pieces together.
In order to remove any clicks, I am trying to apply a very short fade to the start and finish, of the glued clip, and then use "Apply FX to item as new take" to destructively apply the fades. However when this tail appears, the whole thing is ruined.
Any thoughts?

Try
Preferences>Media>Tail length when using Apply effects to media:
Set it to 0.

Thanks, I was looking for something like that, as I saw mention of being able to change the tail, but couldn't find it.

Unless you are actually affecting the new track with some kind of fx, it would be much easier to do this with "Glue". Move your items as you described, get happy with the cross fades, then select the two (or as many pieces as you want) the right click and choose "Glue Selected Items"....bango, you should be all set!

Yeah, but glue won't destructively apply fades.

Pretty sure that it does....try a quick test. I just did with a pretty strong cross fade as well as a volume change on the second part...all were "taken"

Not here it doesn't. Try moving the fade handle back after applying "glue", and see if the fade is still there.

Yep your right. The glue will honor the cross fades, but not the fades and the beginning and end....interesting and probably makes sense as there is nothing to "glue" to at that point (only at the join). So at the end of the day you got your question answered about the tails, and I learned something as well. Since you are trying to use these as loops you would want the fades to become part of the new file, so that makes sense too.

Yeah, it's still tough sometimes to get smooth loops, even using short fades, due to the fact that sometime the slope of the end and start don't always match right, even if they fade in/out to zero.
I'm finding that the best way is to trim at zero crossing points.
Now if Reaper only had a snap to zero crossing toggle.
