Is there a way to make clip fades post-FX bin?

[AxlBrutality]

This would be particularly useful where amp sims are concerned.  As it stands now, fades are pre-FX bin, which means if you have heavy distortion on your guitar via an amp sim, the distortion itself lessens...and more importantly, with high-gain stuff, the amp noise-to-signal ratio becomes intolerable through the fade (and this isn't something easily cured by gates, even "intelligent" gates like Kaften). 

I realize I can automate the volume, but emulating the curve of slow/fast fades is a very tedious and time-consuming.  Any alternatives?

Clip fades are pre-everything  - applied before the audio hits the track input.

But automation has optional curve types. So use Volume automation, right-click the attenuation segment, and choose 'Fast Curve' (i.e. a logarithmic curve that initially drops faster).

Oh snap; I didn't know that.  Thanks a ton!

Almost 17 years of using Sonar/Cakewalk and I still am discovering little shit.  Haha.

I still think it would be nice/easier to have an option to make clip fades post-everything (particularly for start/stop chugging metal stuff, where a ton of automation will still be tedious), but yea.  That really helps, thanks again.

Bounce to track before applying fades to the new clip. Route the new track to the interface not the master bus.

Send the track to a bus and automate the volume of that bus output.

Or send to aux track  - same as bus on fades
