sjoens Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Is there a way to remove or fade-up an audio fadeout so there is no fadeout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Not really, because more and more instantaneous amplitude information is being thrown away as fewer bits are used to represent it at lower and lower levels. Applying gain to a low level signal just gives you a louder representation of a poorly detailed signal. This might not be too egregious for the first 24-30dB of attenuation, but the lower you go, the noisier it will get. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 True, you can't gain back what's no longer there. But I was curious about the process more than sound quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll raise the noise floor the whole time though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Taylor Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 It's only a couple of years ago that we were all saying "Demix an existing stereo recording ? IMPOSSIBLE ! That will never happen!" Then AI systems came along... ... so perhaps this is one for future days... (..er...months?? ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) I did this years ago with "old" technology using fade or gain envelopes that were configured to operate that way. But I don't remember what app I used. Maybe another DAW or plugin? Apparently Audacity can do it but I've not been able to make it work. All the envelope would need is a start and end dB value.

Max Arwood Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Turn the volume up on the track. Lower all but the fade. Fade in where the fade out was. It is a little tricky and will probably add some noise to that section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Unless I missed something, the current problem with fades is they start or end at 0 dB. If the zero point could be adjusted that would solve it. Like John said tho, I may be able to do it with volume envelopes & bouncing pretty easily.

This works well for my needs. Thanks John. Sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious... to me. Edited November 12, 2023 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
