Could you post a short sample at about the 12:30 mark. I see there is a big spike there. Also, when you make a screenshot for the forum, please reduce the size of the Audacity window first so that the image fits better in the forum page - it saves a lot of scrolling for those trying to read your pos...

I'll have a go at making some illustrations. Do these make the difference any clearer? They are intended to show how the tracks will fade ("constant power" fade) for two sequential songs - the first song is shown as blue shading, the second song as green shading. The red dotted line outli...
