Hi
I need to prolong an fading ending audio note 1-2 sec, what is smoothest way to do this ? It has to be in high quality.

I time warping it.
if the quality is not good enough then
I am duplicating the ending of the fade out several times, lowering each one by 6-9db (use ear) relative to the previous and crossfade them

Thank you, I will try that.
I tried bouncing that last note, and made it musical in the pool and slow down the tempo just for 2 seconds. But changing the tempo replaced all the other events in the arrange window.

Yeah, it will do that.
Give the time warp tool a try, maybe the quality is ok for what you trying to achieve.
I always “Flatten Realtime Processing” after warps to unload my system’s power and don’t get any artifacts or so on playback.

Try this

  1. Select the Audio & on the Info Line set it to your desired Time Stretching algorithm
  2. Split/Cut the Audio where you want the stretching to begin
  3. Change the Select (arrow) Tool to the option Sizing Applies Timestretch
  4. Drag the Audio’s lower right corner to stretch it

Thank you, that was very easy and sounds great.
