The search results are based on the tracks which have not yet been added to your set so you cannot enter the same track twice. 13. Track Fade Selecting the Track Fade Out option from the Options page will display a list of fade out times ranging from 0 - 21 seconds in 3 second steps. When the Play button is pressed the Fade button is displayed - pressing this button will commence the fade out countdown.
