Fades and Crossfades
Fades allow you to gradually increase or decrease the volume at the start or at the end of audio events or audio clips, and to create smooth transitions.
Auto Fades and Crossfades
Cubase features an Auto Fade function that can be set either globally or separately for each audio track. Auto fades allow you to create smoother transitions between events by applying fade ins and fade outs with a length between 1 and 500 ms.

The Auto Fades dialog allows you to set up auto fades and crossfades, either for the entire project or individually, for each audio track.
