Others have already pointed out that you can do all of this in Ardour without automation. There is more: it's non-destructive, and *much faster* than any form of automation could ever be. And don't forget that 90% of all music that is still popular today has been produced without any form of automation, and even without the editing facilities that e.g. Ardour provides - just using 16 or 24-track tapes (and in many cases even less). If you can't do a decent fade-out manually you just have to learn and do it. Agreed, it's easier with a real P&G fader than with one you have to move by mouse.
