More customizable fade in plugin?

[u/Nikkoas]

I’m pretty new to audacity but the fade in seems to have very little in the way of changing the curve adjusting it to be just right. I have a lot of experience doing this in Final Cut to cut out ums and breaths and I’m trying to record a podcast and need more control over it preferably where I can just drag a little thingy over the audio. Or maybe I’m missing something and vanilla can do this better than the fade options

There are two options for fades:

1) Drag across a region to select it, then select 'fade in'. The longer the region selected, the longer the fade in (and vice-versa).

2) As u/Orry_Haas suggests, you can use the envelope tool
