Editing Audio Regions

Whether you import an audio file, add a BandLab Sounds sample, or record something in the Studio, each audio region can be edited independently. There are a number of tools in the Studio that you can use to achieve various results depending on your needs.

How to Fade and Normalize Regions
Web Mobile

Fade In/Out Regions

Fading Regions let you create smooth transitions at the start and end of your region. If your recording has a noticeable "clicking sound" when transitioning from one region to the next, you can fade in or out your regions to eliminate the clicks. You can also use faders to create build-ups or a fading outro for your songs.

  1. Click on a region to highlight it
  2. Click and drag the faders at the start and end of the region. You can only fade one region at a time

Normalize Regions

Normalizing analyzes an audio region to find its loudest peak and applies a consistent gain (volume increase or decrease) to set that peak to a target level.

  1. Select a region or highlight multiple regions.
  2. Right-click on the selected region(s) and click Normalize
How to Reverse and Shift Regions
Web Mobile

Reverse Regions

  1. Select a region or highlight multiple regions.
  2. Right-click on the selected region(s) and click Reverse Region
  3. You can also reverse a region from the Editor tab at the bottom
Adjusting the Pitch, Playback Rate, and Gain
Web Mobile
  1. Select a region or highlight multiple regions across different tracks
  2. Open the Editor tab below. In the left part of the Editor, you can adjust the following:
    1. Pitch Shift changes the pitch of the region by semitones
    2. Playback Rate (Speed) changes how fast or slow it plays
    3. Region Gain changes the volume of the region
  3. Click Reset to revert everything to the original value

Note

You can also use AudioStretch to adjust the pitch and playback speed of your region: select the region(s), right-click, and select AudioStretch.
