In multitrack view, I have 2 tracks.
The 1st track ends b4 the second. So after the 1st track ends, I want
the 2nd track to fade out for 5 seconds.

I can splice off the part of the 2nd track, i know how to do that.
But I don't know how to fade out the 2nd track for those 5 seconds, in
multitrack view. TY for any help.

Highlight the part of the track(s) you want to fade. Click on
Effects/Amplitude/Amplify. Then, choose "Fade Out" from the presets. You
can choose both tracks or just one track. Choose an individual track by
clicking on that track as far from the 'center-line' as possible.

Since you are in multitrack view you want to use non-destructive editing.

I recommend going to View and ensuring that Show Volume Envelopes is on.
This will cause a green line to be displayed at the top of each track. The
green line's initial locations represents 100% volume. You can click the
green lines to add break points. You can click and drag break points to
create an envelope that slopes to zero. That's a fade out!

If you create a break point you don't want, just click and drag it down a
bit, and then without releasing it, drag it sharply towards the top of the
track. The break point will disappear.

One advantage of non-destructive editing is that it minimizes the time it
takes to save changes. The changes will be effective if you playback in
multitrack view, and they will be reflected in the mixdown file. But they
won't be reflected in the actual .wav file for each track. Another advantage
is that you can save a bunch of different changes to a given session without
filling your hard drive up with multiple copies of the track files.

Oops. Didn't notice that the OP specified he was in the multi-track view.
Earlier, I gave the stereo view solution.

Jeepers that intuitive and easy. Not.

In Vegas, you can do the volume envelope thing, or better merely position
mouse pointer at end of event at the top, then drag the resulting 'fade'
cursor back for as far as you want the fade. If you want a different fade
type to the default, right click and select from the variety of shapes.
