Warren,

Side note from the discussion. Audacity has a REALLY GOOD SOUNDING automated fade. It is listed under the "Effects" menu tab as "Studio Fade Out". You'll have to scroll way down the the effects list to find it.

I know you're wanting to stay in RealBand as much as possible but I think you'll find the "Studio Fade Out" effect will give you the fade you've been looking for. You can either export all the wave forms out of RealBand into Audacity and use the "Shift" key to apply the "Studio Fade Out" effect to all the tracks at the same time or export a mixed stereo stem from RealBand into Audacity and apply the "Studio Fade Out" effect to the stem; whichever works better for you.

Also if you apply the "Studio Fade Out" effect to each individual track you can change the start fade time location for each track to have individual instruments fade out differently over time.

To answer the same question you asked Del I believe in using the tool that works best for you. I've used Audacity since before I obtained Band-in-a-Box and RealBand. The program has a few features I am very comfortable using and can achieve consistent results. The "Studio Fade Out" effect in Audacity is one example of a task where the effect obtains better results than I can.
