Hello, I agree with this remark. I was so pleased with the new approch of PTE regarding sound.The value of PTE has made a jump. But IMHO fade out is useless now. I'm forced to work again with Audacity and spend a lot of work and time. I hoped that more users have this remark and I even don't understand the low reaction in the forum. A basic sound editing in PTE is fantastic but it should work. please more reaction! Best Regards,
