Subject:can't quick fade

I am having trouble consistently getting the quick fade feature to work.in version 9.0
I have checked all of the online FAQs and searched the manual but unfortunately I don't quite understand the manual. All I want to do is put fades on all of my music tracks. I know that the quick fade icon is on the top toolbar and when I select an event click it sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn't. I would love to have a default setting as far as how quick the fade lasts and use it on everything. The bottom line is, however, that I just am doing something wrong to not enable this feature. I will be most grateful if you can help me. It's probably something very simple but at my age it's eluding me :-(

I am not sure what the options are in music studio.
In Acid Pro 7 I mostly use the volume envelope to control volume, you can even draw volume forms with the pencil tool. Shift+ left mouse button draw on the volume envelope up and down.

I am not familiar with any tool named quick fade.

Maybe something is here:

There is a automation button that lets you automate the track mute option, that might work differently according to if the read or write button is selected.
I have not used the music studio version so I am not sure what tools it has.

Quick fade isn't for fading out your music, it's a great tool for removing clicks and pops that can sometimes be heard when editing a clip, if the edit isn't made at a zero crossing. It simply puts a very short fade at the beginning and end of the selected clips, removing offending pops. A great time saver!

Interesting, is there anything about this mentioned online?
I can't seem to find anything about it.

In AP7e this is a setting in preferences. Unsure if this is true also in v9.

Ah the 'Quick fade edit edges of audio events' in Preference->Audio tab.
