One good thing with using feedback to fade out a loop is that you  
simply reduce the feedback a little and then you are free to do other  
things like looping on a different channel/looper while the first  
channel/loop fades out by feedback layer downscaling. I do this very  
often; work on one looper track while putting others to slowly vanish  
by reducing there feedback.

With Undo a feedback fade-out is not "destructive".

When I'm in a situation with long loops and short loops playing back  
together I can not use feedback to fade out all loops equally. So I  
don't. If I really have to fade equally I'll use hand faders and play  
instruments with only one hand for the part. Might be tricky.
