Smoothly merge music clips together?

Post by Kestrel316 » Tue Dec 29, 2020 5:21 am

Tips or Tools to help smoothly merge clips of same tune together ?
(trying to lengthen a short clip of music by repeating it, but frustrated with the obvious star and end sounds, definitely sounds "chopped")

Using Audacity 2.3.3

fade in / fade out ? crossfade ?

BTW, is there a reason you are not on 2.4.2 ?

I hope this helps. :D

Audacity 2.4.2 is available via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/

Audacity 2.4.2 includes two plug-ins for crossfading:
This is often the easier one to use: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/cro ... clips.html
This one is more flexible but a little more complex: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/cro ... racks.html
