How to fade audio in or out
By Sodaphonic · Updated
Create a gradual start or ending in Sodaphonic. Select a short region, apply Fade-in or Fade-out, and preview the transition.
Steps
Open your audio in the editor and select the beginning of the recording. A one-second selection is a useful first experiment.
Choose Effects → Fade-in. The selection gradually rises from silence to its original level.
For the ending, select the last part of the waveform and choose Effects → Fade-out.
Listen across each transition. Undo and select a longer or shorter region to change the fade duration.
Export the recording using File → Export.
Tips and examples
The fade applies across the entire selected region. A long selection at the start of speech can make the first words hard to hear. Use a short fade to soften a cut, or a longer fade for music.
