PJH I want to create a crossfade by dragging and overlapping the clips in order to remove any clicks from slip editing.

Not sure if I'm understanding your intent 100% correctly, but I have just performed the following test successfully in SPLAT (should also work in CbB) that seems to be what you're asking for:

1. Setup: import audio into project and duplicate it into several tracks (four in my case) - this creates a starting point analogous to editing a multi-mic drum recording,
2. Split all tracks at some point on the timeline,
3. Select the clips you want to extend in all tracks (works with both selecting just the side you want to extend and both sides),
4. Using the "extend clip" function of the Smart tool, extend the selected clips over the other side of the split. Crossfades are created automatically.

Again, I don't know it that's what you're looking for exactly, but it sure sounds like it.

I think that's what they are after, but they need to have auto crossfade enabled first <- I think that's the big bit they are missing :)

Aye, that probably be it...
 
Although I just checked and it looks like it's on by default in the basic template (I certainly didn't verify it was before doing my little test). Now, I'm not about to check every single template that comes in the box, but I would expect it to be on everywhere ('coz you'll prolly be using it more often than not). Which means if it ain't on, it likely got switched off for some reason...

I've never tried the "extend clip" function but it certainly sounds like the answer.
I'll give it a try in the morning.
Thanks.

That's what I said. (see post No. 10).
