The "Adjustable Fade" effect provides presets for logarithmic fades (and
several other predefined fade shapes). It can also produce custom fade
shapes: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/adjustable_fade.html

I know Shane. I helped him out over the phone last night. I, also, have
experience that same problem that he and you were experiencing. he was also
wanting to fade out a cymbal crash at the end of the track he was working
on. To get his desired result, we had to incrementally fade out the end of
the track. First, fade out the last 20 seconds of the song, then fade again
the last 10 seconds of the song. This creates a kind of a logarithmic fade
out that can be done in gold wave with one setting, but this is the
technique I use to achieve this kind of fadeout in audacity. there may be a
plug-in for this technique, but I did not know about it. So, we did it
manually. Fortunately it only took two fades. Sometimes it takes more.

Hi Shane
Sounds very much like you have inadvertently selected the whole song. A
potential trap is to have audio selected when you think it isn't. While
some think I am ultra-conservative, I often go to the end of the track by
pressing k and then to the beginning with j. In your case, reverse the
order as you want to be at the end. As David suggested, pressing
shift+left arrow enough times will highlight from the end. My level of
impetuosity frowns on that approach, but it works. You could press
shift+comma which takes you back in 15 second increments by default. Then
play to the point where you want to start fading and press x to stop. You
could then use shift+k to select to the end of the track, provided the song
finishes pretty much at the end of the track. Alternatively, play until
the song finishes and hit right bracket (]).
I can remember having similar issues.

Subject: [audacity4blind] editing a small selection of audio for fade-out
Hi all. I'm trying to fade out the end of a song I'm working on, and I
elect the part of the audio that I want to fade, but when I go to do the
fade-out, and play back the result, the fade-oout starts at the beginning
of the song instead of at the end where I want it. Any help would be most
appreciated.
