Premiere audio fade/transition not smooth, abrupt

Whether I use a transition or keyframe it, the fade in/out is always too abrupt (even when I bezier the keyframe). Their video fades were abrupt, until I learned you need to uncheck Composite in Linear Color. Is there some setting out there that I don't know about?

    Correct answer Averdahl

    Thanks, Averdahl, but as I mentioned before, bezier is not helping. No matter how I futz with it, the very end is too abrupt (or the very beginning, in a fade-up), just like it used to be with the video transitions. I'm assuming that the solution with audio will be something like it is with video (a random setting default, like it was with Composite in Linear Video). However, with the video, the answer was easy enough to google, while audio is not, which makes me believe that fewer people are actually noticing the audio abruptness than did the video (which makes sense, considering Premiere is a video editing program). But I'm still hoping I'm not the only one!


    Did you make them longer? The shorter they are, the more abrubt they will be, especially if the audio itself is hot.

    And, make the audio track as high as possible on the screen since it makes fiddling with bezier handles a lot easier and gives you more control. Alt+Scrolling is your friend here.

    It's really difficult for me to know what you don't know.

    I'll help you out, Jim: I know absolutely everything, except how to make audio transitions smooth

    Do you know how to do that?

    I just add the default Constant Power Crossfade.  Works a treat.
