{Reason - Fade Outs}

One easy and effective way to end a song is to "fade it out". This just means having the music gradually get quieter and quieter, like the song is fading off into the distance.

In Reason, it is very easy to do a Fade Out.

Just follow these easy steps:
  1. Make sure your Mixer has a track in the Sequencer.
  2. Click on the Mixer track to highlight it.
  3. Find the end of your song.
  4. Decide what bar you want your fade out to start and end on.
  5. Click on the Automation button and select Master Level.
  6. Click on the Switch to Edit Mode button.
  7. Scroll until you find the Bar where you want to start your fade out.
  8. Click on the Pencil Tool.
  9. Click and drag a box from the start and end of where you want the fade to happen.
  10. Click once on the start point.
  11. Click once on the end point.
  12. Now click on the Selection Tool.
  13. Click on the end point of the fade and drag it down to the bottom of the track.
  14. Play the end back and make sure it sounds right.
  15. Make any necessary adjustments.
