I'm having trouble "seeing" exactly what you are doing, but
if I understand it, you are overlapping two audio tracks,
with one fading in early, and the other simply cut at its
out point? If so, this will result in added background noise
during the two track overlap, and about 1/2 the background
noise will abruptly go away at the cut, resulting in bad
sound... With noticeable background sound levels, you can
rarely simply cut without a "bump" - even an overlap and
fade in/out only a few frames long will soften this effect.
Sorry if I did not understand what you meant...
