Question

Hello

It is not possible to make a good and nice Fade out, because when you make a Fade out at the song end, the level goes from 0dB to -50dB normal, but after -50dB, the paramater (level) goes very, very fast to minus infinitely dB. This makes the Fade out and the sound realy unnatural. Is there a Button to chache this, or is it a Bug?

Answer 1

You can click-drag the handle in the center of the fade to change the shape

Answer 2

Hello, this is not what I mean. It doesn't matter how you do the curve, at the point where the level has reach -50db, the level goes extreme fast and unnaturally to the end  - make a fade out over 1 minute and see the level parameter, and listen, than you can see and hear the problem.

Answer 3

This is the bug in question.
When using the volume envelope, it's smooth until it hits around -50db. It'll jump down to -100db very quickly and then slow down again. Watch the fader to see it jump.

I'm currently using 3.5.1, but according to the OP the issue still exists in 4.1. Can anyone check to see if it's still a problem in 4.5?

Answer 4

You are right, it sucks. And changing the curve doesn't help, it usually makes it worse, not better since the start of the fade gets way too aggressive. I'm a mastering engineer so I'm fading out tracks like dozens of times every week. Studio One's Volume envelope just sucks for fading out program material. Period. The fades on the Events are totally ok though, but that's not always the most pragmatic solution.

The good news is that Chris at Airwindows has a free plugin called PurestFade with a Fade control that will bring a smile to your face after struggling with this. I tried a whole bunch of other plugins and they didn't work, but PurestFade is the ticket.  I specifically asked him to make this plugin based on this happening...and he DID! The guy is a LEGEND. be sure to check out his stuff, it's almost all fantastic for some application or another.
