Pipeline, your comments and examples are very good but what crashes? I use RB for lots of things and I don't get crashes. Some folks write about crashes all the time and I have no idea what they're talking about except to say it's probably user error.

As far as the OP's question about fade outs I've been using the Gain Change Fade Out option for years. All you do is highlight the part of the track you want to fade, right click and select Audio Effects then at the bottom of the menu list it says Fade Out. Click on that and the window opens giving you all the different options for the fade. That's pretty basic and simple dontcha think?

Why would you need another DAW for this? A couple of mouse clicks and you're there and I don't get crashes. If you're getting crashes from using this Fade Out utility then post it as a bug so we all can test it.
