What Fade In and Out is for

Questions
How long should a fade be?
One to two seconds at each end suits most speech and music. Longer suits ambient recordings; shorter than half a second is close enough to a hard cut that you may as well not bother.
Can I fade only one end?
Yes. Set the other to zero and it is left alone.
Does this re-encode the file?
Yes, because the samples themselves are being changed. The output is written at a good quality, though a heavily compressed source cannot be improved by passing through it.
How long should a fade be?
Two seconds suits most music. A quarter of a second is enough to stop a hard edit clicking. Anything over five seconds reads as a deliberate effect rather than a tidy-up.
Can I fade only one end?
Yes. Set the other to zero and it is left alone.
Does it re-encode the whole file?
It has to, because the samples themselves change. The format and bitrate stay as they were unless you change them.
