Others have already pointed out that you can do all
of this in Ardour without automation. There is more:
it's non-destructive, and *much faster* than any
form of automation could ever be.
And don't forget that 90% of all music that is still
popular today has been produced without any form of
automation, and even without the editing facilities
that e.g. Ardour provides - just using 16 or 24-track
tapes (and in many cases even less). If you can't do
a decent fade-out manually you just have to learn and
do it. Agreed, it's easier with a real P&G fader than
with one you have to move by mouse.
