How do I fade in and out in Veena?

Hover over a clip in Veena and two small white handles appear on its top corners. Drag the left one inward to fade the clip in, and the right one inward to fade it out. The curve is drawn on the clip, the clip itself never moves or changes length, and what you see is exactly what plays and exports.

How do I crossfade two clips?

Overlap them on the same track. In Veena, where two clips on one track overlap, the overlap becomes a crossfade automatically: the earlier clip fades out across it as the later one fades in, drawn on the clips as an X. Drag the clips apart and the crossfade is gone; overlap them again and it is back.

Can I fade in and out MIDI and drum clips, not just audio?

Yes. In Veena every clip that makes sound has a fade-in and a fade-out: audio recordings, MIDI parts and drums. A fade on a MIDI clip shapes the level of what the instrument plays, never the notes or their velocities, and an audio clip can crossfade into a MIDI clip on the same track.

Can CoProducer fade a song in and out for me?

Yes. Tell CoProducer what you want in plain words, such as "fade the piano in over the first 2 bars" or "fade every track out across the last 4 bars", and it sets the fades on those clips in your Veena project. They are the same fades as the corner handles, so you can drag them longer or shorter afterwards.

Do fades stay in my exported song?

Yes. Veena plays and exports a fade identically, so a fade-out in the studio is the fade-out in your WAV, MP3 or stems. A fade-out also silences anything an instrument would ring past the clip's end, so the song ends where you drew it. Export is free on every plan, with no cap and no watermark.

How to Fade In and Out: Fades and Crossfades, Free

How to fade in and out: Veena gives every clip on your timeline a fade-in and a fade-out, set by dragging the handle on the clip's top corner inward, and turns two overlapping clips into a crossfade on its own. You can also ask CoProducer, the personal music producer built into Veena, to fade any part in words. It is free, it runs in your browser, and the fade you see is the fade you hear and export.

Veena is an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Describe the song you want and CoProducer builds it with you — beats, chords, melody, arrangement and mix — as real tracks you can edit, mix and export. Free, in your browser.

How to fade in and out in Veena, step by step

1. Open your song. Go to daw.veena.studio and sign in with Google. Open a project, record a take or drag in a recording of your own.

2. Find the handles. Hover over the clip you want to fade. Two small white handles appear on its top corners: the left one for the fade-in, the right one for the fade-out. On a phone, tap the clip to select it and the handles appear.

3. Drag to fade in. Drag the left handle to the right. A white curve rises from silence at the clip's start to full level where you let go, and the part of the clip above the curve dims, so you see how much of the sound is held back.

4. Drag to fade out. Drag the right handle to the left. The curve falls from full level to silence at the clip's end. With grid snap on, a fade lands on the grid's quarter beats; with it off, the handle moves freely.

5. Crossfade two clips. Drag one clip so it overlaps the next on the same track. The overlap becomes a crossfade automatically, drawn as an X: the earlier clip fades out while the later one fades in. Move either clip and the crossfade moves with it. Drag a handle past the overlap for a longer crossfade.

6. Or ask CoProducer. Type what you want:

Fade the Electric Piano in over the first 2 bars, and fade every track out across the last 4 bars.

CoProducer sets the fades on those clips, the same fades the handles draw. See editing a song with CoProducer for more requests like it.

7. Listen, then export. Choose Export from your avatar menu and pick WAV or MP3, the Full mix or Stems. Every fade and crossfade is in the file exactly as it played.

Fade in and out on any clip

Fades in Veena belong to every clip that makes sound, not only to recordings:

Clip	What the fade does in Veena
A vocal or instrument recording	Rises from silence and falls back to it, smoothing a cold start or a breath at the end
A MIDI part (piano, synth, bass)	Shapes the level of what the instrument plays; the notes and velocities stay as written
Drums	Brings a groove in gently or lets it fall away under the last chorus
Two clips overlapping on one track	Crossfades from one into the other, audio and MIDI alike
The end of the song	A fade-out silences everything past the clip's end, instrument tails included

Every fade uses an equal-power curve, so a crossfade keeps its loudness through the join instead of dipping in the middle. A clip that sits wholly inside another is treated as a layer, not a join, so it plays at full level with no crossfade.

What's free

Fades and crossfades: the corner handles and automatic crossfades are part of the studio and use none of CoProducer's allowance.
CoProducer: a daily allowance of requests on the free plan. One request can set several fades at once.
The studio: timeline, piano roll, mixer and recording, with up to 5 projects at a time.
Export: WAV 24-bit/48 kHz, MP3 320 kbps, MIDI and stems, with no cap and no watermark.

Veena Pro, $20 a month, removes the daily request cap and unlocks the premium models.

Fades sit beside the rest of Veena's clip editing: moving, splitting, stretching, pitch-shifting and reversing a recording, all in edit audio in Veena. To shape a whole section rather than one clip, see arranging a song in Veena, and for a take you have just made, recording in Veena. Every other answer is in the Veena help centre.

Paste this to start: Make a 72 BPM lo-fi hip hop song in D minor with Jazz kit drums, Electric Piano seventh chords, a Round Bass line and a soft Sine Pluck melody: fade the Electric Piano in over the first 2 bars, start the drums at bar 3, and fade every track out across the last 4 bars.
