"Apply FX to item as new take" question

[JPV]

I am trying to use the "Apply FX to item as new take" feature to destructively apply fades to audio clips, however I find that this will sometimes result in a short tail being added to the end of the clip.

Is this normal behavior?

What I am trying to do, is achieve a crossfade loop by splitting an audio clip in half, then moving the first piece of the clip to the end and the end piece to the front and then overlapping them for the crossfade. I then glue the 2 pieces together.

In order to remove any clicks, I am trying to apply a very short fade to the start and finish, of the glued clip, and then use "Apply FX to item as new take" to destructively apply the fades. However when this tail appears, the whole thing is ruined.

Any thoughts?
