Re: [exs] Xfade's great, but what about the phasing?

Uhm... tune them? :-)  Seriously though, yes, this is a problem for 
which I personally don't see any easy 9or difficult for that matter) 
solution.  Esp. with solo acoustic instruments, the xfade's are less 
helpful than I'd hoped them to be.  Xfading between e.g. a 
multi-velocity layered violin makes it sound as if two violins are 
plying in unison, instead of removing the audible 'jump' between two 
layers.  To be expected probably, but something I just hadn't 
anticipated up front...
