Creating Smooth Song Conclusions with Suno AI's [Fade Out] Prompt

Ending a song gracefully is essential for providing listeners with a satisfying experience. In this guide, we'll explore how to utilize Suno AI's [Fade Out] prompt within the "Extend" feature to craft natural, flowing conclusions for your music.

Understanding the [Fade Out] Prompt

The [Fade Out] prompt in Suno AI instructs the system to gradually decrease the volume of your track, creating a seamless and gentle ending. This approach is widely used across music genres to close songs smoothly without abrupt cuts.

How to Use the [Fade Out] Prompt in Suno AI

1. Access Your Project: Open the desired track inside Suno AI.
2. Use the Extend Feature: Select "Extend" to continue your song.
3. Set Starting Point: Choose where you want the fade-out to begin (e.g., 3:45 in a 4-minute song).
4. Enter the Prompt: Type [Fade Out] into the prompt field.
5. Generate and Review: Play the result to ensure it ends smoothly and naturally.

Enhance with Modifiers

Combine the [Fade Out] tag with modifiers for specific musical effects:

• [Slow Fade Out]: Extended drop-off for ambient or chill tracks
• [Fast Fade Out]: Quick exit for upbeat segments
• [Instrumental Fade Out]: Music fades after vocals end
• [Cinematic Fade Out]: Gradual pull-back of layered arrangements

Best Practices

• Timing: Begin the fade at least 10–20 seconds before the song’s final timestamp.
• Mixing: Ensure instrumental balance so nothing feels too abrupt or cluttered.
• Genre Fit: Match fade style to listener expectations in your genre.
