message: The Beatles song Eight Days A Week does fade in but it does not fade out. It has a cold ending.

thread_title:  Correction 

message: Here are a few rock songs that fade out but could easily end cold:
The Beatles: 
     Things We Said Today
     I'll Be Back
10CC:
     The Things We Do For Love
Then there are a couple of songs that one artist chose to fade but another gave a cold ending:
Sealed With a Kiss: Cold ending by Brian Hyland but faded out by Bobby Vinton in the remake.
Love Potion No. 9: Faded out by the Clovers but cold-ended by the Searchers.
Here's the clincher for a song with no excuse for a fade-out: George Harrison's My Sweet Lord. In the studio All Things Must Pass version, he does not resolve the closing phrase; he just repeats and fades it out. The live Bangla Desh concert version has a much more desirable resolution and cold ending.

thread_title:  Why do these songs fade out? 

message: Many topics inside this article talk about the signal flow of a mixing console (also referred to as a mixing desk by European audio engineers.).  Additionally, there are other topics on the requested topic list (e.g. pan pot) that could be redirected here.
I think the verb 'fade' as in to fade or to crossfade - should be a different article than the noun fader, which is a in integral part of a mixer.  But whatever makes for a better reading/reference experience is all I care about.  Thoughts? Greenshinobi (talk) 22:32, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Fader as a noun

message: Do we realy need citations on the songs that have fade-ins or fade-outs? It's a fact that anyone can check just listening to the song. Besides, I don't know where to get those citations, anyways.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Conradodl (talk • contribs) 18:00, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations 

message: It's a pity the article doesn't mention the very popular 1947 song "Open the Door, Richard!" as using a fade-out. The song is about a bunch of drunks coming home, with no keys to get in, and yelling for Richard, presumably inside sleeping, to wake up and let them in. At the end they give up and walk away, and the song fades out to reflect that. If I could find my copy of the book which says it was the first popular use of the fade-out I'd add this info and cite the book - I think it was "What was the First Rock and Roll Record", an in-depth discussion of 50 songs from 1944 to 1956. Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories 1890-1954 book lists seven versions of this song making the Top 10 that year.
