If you don't understand how
razor blade editing works, how can you be expected to understand the
need for crossfading at the splice, and why different crossfades work
differently (and why some don't work, and why most butt splices don't
work)?


Well, you could ask someone who understood digital editing techniques
to explain it to you :-)

That's like explaining compression in terms of the techniques required
to stop a needle falling out of a shellac groove. Mildly interesting,
but not terribly helpful. You've got to get it out of your head that
digital techniques are necessarily straight replacements for analogue
ones.
