cubase le-can't use fades on midi tracks

[garagegear]

I record with cubase le and usually use addictive drums for my drum tracks. the problem that I am having is that if i want to fade in drums or fade out the whole track at the end the drums (or any vst channel for that matter) are not affected my the fade. The way that I have been doing it is by recording an automation on the track and manually sliding down the volume. This method just doesn't give me near the control you get with the fade dialog box, and allot of the time it isn't quite in-synch with the rest of the track. Any suggestions?

You need to make the drums or whatever you have as a midi into a wav or MP3 so you can edit it in your recording software. This will give you the ability to fade in and out I am pretty sure.
