Am I correct in thinking that if I'm using "snap to zero crossing" it's ok to not worry about putting little fades at the beginning and end of clips?
When editing bass/guitars...

Not sure what you mean but I use tiny fades in/out on clips to get rid of edit pops and to deemphasize the harsh, abrupt stop points on edits so if thats what you mean then I would say so.
yeah that's what I mean, especially on like tight breakdown parts where there's 500 cuts and chops, I think I could save a few extra minutes per song if I didn't do the fades.
Well go for quality over personal time conservation. Do whatever it takes to get it sounding clean. I dont think ill ever record a song without some degree of edits (unless its one of those once in a lifetime amazing takes). A lot of patience and effort goes a long way on this stuff. I think it depends what you're editing personally. I always put more effort into getting a good clean edits out of stuff like sustained chords where any edit will be really obvious. If its full bore crazy stuff then you can get away with a lot more.
oh don't get me wrong I'm not planning on sacrificing anything, I just had that idea that maybe I can save a bit of time by using snap to 0 and not worry about doing 5000 fades every song, and I'm not at home or at the studio to test it out.

well if you hear clicks and pops then you need the fades and if you don't then you don't right? I haven't had an issue with minimal fades in that type of situation but I edit and then re-amp most times.
yeah yeah for sure, I just wasn't home to test it and I wanted to know NOW NOW NOW lol.

...or autofades? Set autofades one single time and from then on, every single cut you ever make will have that fade automatically on it. That's what I do in Cubase.
Speaking of fades, when I use the cross fading overlap in logic, I don't hear a pop and sometimes suddenly hear it later while listening back to it at a later point in time. What gives?

You're being sarcastic right?
Cause batch fades would be the answer you're looking for. Only thing quicker than processing batch fades is not doing fades at all
no, sadly I'm serious. I have seen that auto-fade option in cubase before but for some reason it just didn't click.

snap to zero crossing is great
but should only be used with relative grid mode. otherwise you change the timing of the notes by accident.

auto fades are included on playback AND bounce
also on consolidate in cubase
protoools is a different story (auto fades are only on playback, and not bounce or consolidate)
word yeah I'm not using it to snap notes, just to cut them.
the autofade shit is amazing though. Just when I think I know everything there is to know about cubase some other feature pops up. I feel like this one should have been an obvious one though haha. oh well.

Snapping to zero should not cause a click or pop. So yeah it works. But it tends to sound weird anyhow, so cross fades are it for me.
