Multitrack Session: Crossfade clips on different tracks?

Hi,

I'm pretty new to audition and I'm currently working on an audio drama. I made quite some interviews with different people and made a multitrack session. For better overview I put the different interviews on separate tracks, but I still like to use crossfades. Usually, if the clips are on the same track this could be achieved easily by dragging a clip to other lap the other one. Is there a way to crossfade two clips that are on separate tracks?

Or would you say that this is generally a bad workflow (with clips on different tracks) for editing an audio drama? How I could do better?

I saw someone already asked this question in the past, but never got an answer. So I'm trying again.

 

Thank you in advance!

There's nothing particularly bad about it as a workflow - it certainly makes it easier to keep track of where you are (pun intended). And there's no particular difficulty in crossfading between tracks either; you just use the fade icon and drag an appropriate length fade on the end of the first one and the start of the second. You even get a helpful positioning aid if you want to align things more accurately - generally this isn't an issue, though. So it looks like this:

The line on the left is the alignment aid, and the dotted line is where the cursor is currently. To demonstrate the alignment aid I had to move the cursor from where it was doing the dragging (on the green track), but if you slide that about, you'll soon find out what it aligns to. You do have to have Snapping turned on for this to be visible, though. Right-click on the timeline to get easy access to the Snapping controls.
