How do u fade in/out bass/trebble in a single track?
Like a dj would do in live mixing?

Hmmm...maybe create an EQ (paragraphic maybe with both low- and high-shelf enabled?) assignable FX and apply it to the track via an envelope? You'd have to experiment to find the right feel.

Note that ACID Pro is the only version of ACID that lets you apply FX envelopes to tracks (like the variable strength of an effect).

HTH,

Sounds like you're on the right track. I think I would create 2 EQs - one with a low shelf and the other with a high shelf. Paragraphic or track EQ (disable the extra bands) would work equally well - I guess parametric would too (set to hi or low shelf mode). You could run each on its own subgroup buss or FX buss and use the envelope for each to draw how much signal you want to send to each throughout the song. Remember to set the sends to post fader.

Let us know if it works.

Nice... i did it! Thanks to your big help.
This is how:
First i loaded the track (song). Then i created a bus. Then i put the track into the bus. Then i inserted an envelope from the bus into the track, after which i faded the bus out with the envelope. If u play the song now, it will simply fade out. So i inserted an assignable effect (track-EQ, FX1), from which i removed all the bass. After that i inserted an envelope for the FX1. This stays inf(inate) until the bus starts to fade out. Exactly from that point i started the fade in for FX1 at the same rate as the bus fades out, otherwise u get a volume build-up (or dercrese). Et voila, a nice and easy bass fade-out in one track :)
Thanks again
btw: why does On-Track Recording ring me a bell? Is this a label?
