Description

I think it would be good to have a "fade in" knob for the start and loopback points, as well as a "fade out" knob for the end point. The unit for these knobs could be milliseconds. Having the ability to add microfades would make it very simple to remove clicks from a sample that is looped/cut at a part where the volume is high.

Maybe another option that would make the UI less cluttered, but would give less control, would be to add a global "fade" knob that adds the same amount (in milliseconds) of fade in/out to all the points (start, loopback, end).

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the audio file processor and its start, loopback, and end-point controls. Done means the processor supports the requested fade behavior, with a clear choice between separate fade controls and one global control, and verifies that fades remove clicks at looped or cut sample points.
