Just curious what everybody around here thinks. I think fade in at the beginning of show, and fade out at end of show is the way to do it. Or, should i add fades at beginning and end of sets?? What say you TS??

Or, should i add fades at beginning and end of sets?? What say you TS??I've quit using fades - most of the time I can get away with merely tracking in CD Wave...so I've started skipping the fades. I only use them if I have to - say if missed the first part of a song...or if the crowd/band is particularly loud at the start of the show. Basically I use them to cover any abrupt openings or endings...but usually its quiet enough at the beginning and ends of shows to skip the fade..of course this will vary based on the material you record.

yep, this is my preference as well. i dont like to add the fades at the end of each set due to concept of "seamless" media (or at least my concept of it) but, i am transferring the tapes of others, and want to be as silky as possible for the benefit of hard working tapers...ok, cool, thanks for your advice and opinions!! T's all around...Cd
I say fades at the start/end of each set. after all, set 2 is not "continously seamless" from set 1.
Small hijack: When you guys are fading, is there a standard time that you like to use to ramp in and out? Do you use a 0 to 100 staight ramp or do you use a soft ramp up via an envelope? I'm sort of hovering around a 3-4 second soft ramp in with a 5-7 ramp out.

All my recordings are faded.
