somethin` t’aint right…
I’m working on a demo for a friend, and I just can’t seem to get the fadeout right. It ends at exactly the point I want, but it sounds clunky. I have tried several different curves, and the one here (gentle slope 'til the last couple notes) is the best I could do so far.
Any suggestions much appreciated!

Hi wynot:
The link(s) appear broken…
(404)…
?
Maybe, you removed them. ??
Bill…
Hi Bill; well, I mis-spelled the song name under the word ‘here’, so that link for sure won’t work! 
But the link from ‘demo’ should be okay. Or: www.soulgarage.net/songs/your_name.wma works for me, and I think it will work for you.
'til next time!

I see you here…
I’ll have a listen and report back…
Bill…
[EDIT]
Sorry…
still NO-GO…
The first one has a 404 error… The second one says
no link or
something…
[EDIT 2] Still NO-GO… Trying…
Bill, this is disturbing. The link is working for me just fine. Let me try this again here: SONG!.
And if that doesn’t work, I don’t know what to do…

It's working for me...
hey, this is a sweet song, really nice feel, love the use of percussion and soft vox.
the fade out....it just seems like it's too early to me,is there much more track? it'd be nice to not fade out the vocals in such a rush, if not....maybe a longer fade so it is not so abrupt? ....I just thought it was a shame it had to end personally.
Thanks for the kind words ange; the percussion, bass guitar, and electric guitar are all me 
.
There is more, but it basically just repeats what has gone before, which is why I decided to end it there. We have since begun working on a whole new arrangement of the tune, with a different intro and completely different middle eight. We may yet do more changes - the lyrics are an old poem that appears to be anonymous, and in the public domain, but it is well known, which makes it hard to take sufficient liberties with the words to make them fit the melody. We have even given thought to finding a whole new melody for it, and making new lyrics for this tune.
But the thought of a longer fade reads like it might be nice, and I will give it a test later, although as more a learning opportunity than real work on the (now orphaned) version of the tune. And a longer fade too, just for comparison. Thanks for the ideas!

Yes, longer, hint at the repeat, makes the listener hear it echoing in his or her head.
That’s got a really nice feel to it.
Hi wynot:
Finally…
I got the http://www.soulgarage.net/songs/your_name.wma to work…
By right clicking on the link and downloading the file…
Sorry wynot…
I should have tried that operation before I re-posted my replies to say the links wouldn’t open on this end… I gave up way too soon…
Sorry, everyone…
Left clicking on the link and getting the file to open is still not an option here…
I wonder why. ?
I’ll save the file and give a peek at it later…
At first play …
the track sounds very nice, dynamically… The cymbals have a nice sheen to them and fit very well in the mix…
It would be nice to listen to the track in the studio over here…
However, it’s way too cold to go out there and fire up the repro system…
Bill…
p.s. I presume you’ve tried both audio and linear curves of the “Fade” algorithms… Somehow, I would think that the linear fade, would have done the task…
