Fading Out vs. Stopping Straight
A phenomenon that I've noticed for a while but only recently thought to ask the community about is that which happens when ending a song or video. When I'm stopping a song on iTunes, for example, I come out feeling better or more at ease when I slowly fade the song out with the volume slider before I actually stop the song, rather than when I just stop the song outright.
Does this happen to you? And regardless, do you have some theories on it? My theory is that biologically & evolutionarily we're more alert to sudden change (akin to the boiling frog theory) so when met with a gradual change we are less disrupted by it.
