Hi Chris, There could be any number of reasons why it's not working for you. I couldn't even begin to really troubleshoot it. Suffice it to say, however, that the default fade-out, unless you changed it somewhere, is the equal power fade. So, you don't even have to open the fades dialog. Simply press Option-g for "fade to end" which will fade from your current insertion point to the end of the selected track's region. Give that a try and let's see if things are working alright.
