Yes, I feel differently. However, the beauty of digital recording is that you can do it any way you wish. If you simple want to copy an LP directly without any manipulation, you can do that and achieve an exact duplicate of your LP.

Yes, in live recordings I normally do not fade; however, it depends on the recording.
