Rounik -- well, it's working now. I wanted to wait until I got my computer back to make sure. I took it to Atlanta Pro Audio (which is also a licensed Mac tech service). They agreed with me (for instance, if you copy and paste a region in "no overlap" drag mode, there should be no trouble placing crossfades). Anyways, he rolled back the operating system from Snow Leo to 10.5.8 then re-installed Logic 9. It works fine now. I don't think I was wrong about the crossfades, but I cannot thank you enough for all the time you took -- I am so appreciative -- you have a great Company. Peace - alex

Hi Alex, That's great news! So, it would appear the issue was a Snow Leopard or at least after re-installing the OS and Logic that everything worked well... Either way, that's great news! Enjoy crossfading :) Rounik
