Apple Document on the Shapes
Apple documentation explains the options you have with shapes. These correspond to the image that you see above.
- Linear:-Maintains a constant rate of change over the length of the fade.
- S-curve:-Eases in and out of the fade with the midpoint at 0 dB.
- +3dB:-Starts slowly and then moves quickly toward the end. This is the default setting and is best for maintaining a natural volume when crossfading between two clips.
- '3dB:-Starts quickly and then slowly tapers off toward the end.
