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 smooth and natural song endings.

🎯 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 conclusion. This technique is widely used across various music genres to signal the end of a song without an abrupt stop.

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

  1. Access Your Project: Open your desired project within Suno AI and navigate to the specific track you intend to conclude.
  2. Use the Extend Feature: Click on the "Extend" option to add to your existing track.
  3. Set the Starting Point: Select the timestamp 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 & Review: Click generate and review the segment to ensure the fade-out sounds natural and complete.

🎼 Enhance with Modifiers

Combine [Fade Out] with modifiers for genre-specific or emotional finishes:

  • [Slow Fade Out]: Long, smooth descent—great for ambient or chill genres
  • [Fast Fade Out]: Quicker exit—useful for upbeat or time-limited segments
  • [Instrumental Fade Out]: Gradual fade of instruments while vocals conclude earlier
  • [Cinematic Fade Out]: Layered instrumentation slowly fades into ambient space

✅ Best Practices

  • Timing: Start fade-out at least 10–20 seconds before the song ends for a smooth result.
  • Mixing: Balance the layers during fade-out to prevent muddiness or clipping.
  • Genre Fit: Use fade-out strategically depending on listener expectations for that genre.
