  Fade (audio engineering) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In audio engineering, a fade is a gradual increase or decrease in the volume of a source.
A song may be gradually reduced to silence at its end (fade-out), or may gradually increase from silence at the beginning (fade-in).
It allows a DJ to fade one source out while fading another source in at the same time.

Audio schools are great, you get trained on the gear that is used by top studios and costs millions of dollars, you get taught by pros in the field and you have job placement assistance after you graduate.
The simplest audio circuit uses a single wire to carry the signal; the return path, which is needed for current to flow in the wire, is provided through a ground connection, usually through a shield around the wire.
In digital audio we are concerned with the base-band - that is to say the signal components which extend from 0 to B. Therefore, to sample at the standard digital audio rate of 44.1 kHz requires the input signal to be band-limited to the range 0 Hz to 22.05 kHz.

In telecommunications, fading is a change in the attenuation of a communications channel.
Rician fading The term "backhoe fade" is used humorously to describe the complete loss of signal that occurs in a communications cable when it is cut by a backhoe or other digging work.
Backhoe fade is one of the most common causes of failure in subterranean cables.

 Audio Ideas Guide: Supersounds (Winter 1999) Andrew Marshall Listens to Audiophile Recordings and Re-Releases   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Human ears may not hear beyond 20 kHz, or even half that frequency as one ages, but most audio information in the highest frequency range is of a transient nature, and many of us can hear those leading edges even if we can't hear 15- to 20-kHz tones.
Many listeners to digital audio have commented on its sterility and lack of realism, and I think one reason may be that it cannot fully convey the true transient nature of music.
I recall experiencing just such an artifact when recording with an early digital system in the mid-80s: during a soprano-alto duet I heard a loud intermodulation effect in my headphones that was almost as loud as the voices, but harmonically unrelated to them.

 TC Electronic Finalizer 96: IT'S NOT JUST FOR MASTERING
PERFECT FADES EVERY TIME On some consoles, the master faders will clip the tail of your fade, shift the balance as it gets to the bottom or actually thin out the sound of the mix as the fader gets to the bottom half.
Pick from the two types of fades (I wish there were more!), set the duration of the fade, move the cursor to the down arrow and spin the knob counterclockwise to activate the fade.
Just rehearse your fade by starting the fade at a SMPTE address you've selected, and adjust the duration and the "fade start time" until it is exactly how you want it.

 Audiofile Engineering - Wave Editor Press Release
Wave Editor introduces the concept of "layered audio." It allows audio professionals to layer audio of any rate, bit depth, and number of channels, add Audio Units and fades on top of each other, edit them, then flatten the resulting file, a process that takes much longer with legacy editors.
Wave Editor's application of fades is new to audio editors: fades as "overlays" on top of the audio that can be adjusted in real-time before they are applied.
And, for the first time in any audio editor, you can use quadratic or cubic bezier curves to shape the fades to obtain the smoothest natural effect.

 Audio gets configurable processor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
It may be hard to believe that electronic audio technology still continues to evolve after a century of intensive development but indeed it does, largely through the use of increasingly complex algorithms called codecs (coders/decoders) in an expanding universe of digital-audio standards and applications.
Tensilica’s original HiFi Audio Engine, based on the company’s configurable, 32-bit Xtensa V processor core, is an example of a configurable processor that has been optimized for audio applications with extra instructions and registers that accelerate the execution of audio-codec software.
Finally, the Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine extensions are written in the TIE (Tensilica Instruction Extension) language and the TIE code for these extensions can be expanded, enhanced, pruned, or augmented by the SOC development team to suit the unique resource, power, and performance requirements of each SOC design.
