Audio Fade In and Out
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
Audio fade in and fade out makes sounds appear or disappear gradually. Fade in is usually worn at the beginning of a song to avoid collapsing, while fade out is worn at the end to avoid being cut off abruptly. You set the duration of the fade and the starting point; a transition that's too short can sound like a click. Fade is also useful for fine-tuned connecting of some audio pieces.
Key points
- Fade in gradually raises the volume from silent to normal level
- Fade out decreases the volume gradually to silence
- The duration of the fade determines how smooth the transition is.
- Fade prevents clicks from sudden cuts
- Fade out should be done right before the audio ends.
