    Getting a good result

    Typical lengths

    A quarter to half a second removes the click from a hard cut. One to three seconds ends a music bed politely. Five seconds or more is a deliberate fade-out, the kind that ends a song.

    Fade the music, not the voice

    Fading a spoken recording swallows the first or last word. Trim speech in a pause instead, and keep fades for music and ambience.

    00:40Questions

    Audio fade tool: common questions

    Can I fade only the end?

    Yes. Set the fade in to 0.

    Can I fade a part in the middle?

    No. Fades are applied at the start and the end of the file.

    How long can a fade be?

    Up to 30 seconds, and no more than half the length of the file.
