Question, is it possible to have a clip fade out when the scene is stopped?

example: I'm using Ableton in Session View for drum loops for a band and I am using a pad wav under each song that is 30 minutes long to help with the dead space in-between each song and help with transitions. My problem is this: When I get to the end of the last song in the set, I either must manually fade the channel slider that holds the pad wav or just press space bar to stop the whole scene thus the sound suddenly stopping. Is there a way to make this pad wav i'm using fade out without me having to manually do it?

I can't cut the pad wav file to the length of the songs because the songs endings may change in length. Anybody know if this is possible?

Yes, you can trigger the WAV from a (drawn) held MIDI note and use the sampler's "Release" setting to set the length of the fade that will then automatically occur when you hit the stop button.

Using a MIDI channel kinda changes the game –– in my case I can't know how long to hold that MIDI note, and I couldn't figure out how to remove the "off" part of a note with Max although I think it's possible. I'd like to not have to rely on Max though. @mtmart1212 did you find a way to stop/fade audio clips in scene view?
