These are very nice tracks, but dang, it was a tough one

[Krabbe]

I forget how the ending exactly goes and how much time you have to work with but I think I felt like the fade was both relatively fast and started right at an apex of the outro solo and seemed to take some of the energy out of it.

I see your point. With that in mind, it's gonna be harder to make the fade-out, because the tambourine dies before the rest of the music, so the fade has to be done before that, and afterall, I think the solo should be allowed for a couple of rounds, so all in all, the fade-out-start-window is kinda narrow, if the fade out curve should be less steep ... nevertheless, I will keep this in mind
