fade problem

[Rusty K]

Hello,

Newbie question.

I'm trying to create a fade at the end of a region but the Edit/Fade option is grayed out. If I select a section of the region Edit/Fades is grayed. If I just set the cursor to a start position Edit/Fades comes back but only Fade to Start and Fade to End. The manual is vague. What am I missing?

Also what is the dither option all about on fades?

Thanks,
Rusty K
