I have had a hard time with fade outs in the very end.
Normally I make my fades by cutting it in two slopes. The first one is shorter and steeper and the second is longer and very smooth. For instances in a 30 seconds fade out, I would cut 8 dB in the first 5-6 seconds and then would go to infinite dB for the rest of the time.
Overall the fade out sounds good and linear (pleasant for the ears) BUT in the very end (last 0.5 to 1 second) it's not too hard to notice that it will disappear suddenly. Maybe it is an excess of preciosity of mine but I am sure that I have heard fades on commercial tracks that seem to continuously fade to the eternity in micro micro micro dB. OK, I am not willing to compare my awful mixes with those ones, it is just that maybe I am lacking a simple tip that may do the trick and I wouldn't like to pass this...
Any idea?
Thanks!
