How to add fade in and fade out to songs in GarageBand

Fade songs in and out in GarageBand on Mac

Fading out of a song is something that we hear all the time when listening to our favorite tunes. As the song begins to come to an end, you’ll hear it slowly fade away to silence. If you’re creating your own music in GarageBand, you can add this effect as well.

While fading into a song isn’t as widely used, we’ll show you how to do that on Mac as well. So open up GarageBand on Mac or iOS and then follow our tutorial to add fade out to your songs.

How to use or turn off the Metronome in GarageBand on Mac and iOS

Metronome

The Metronome in GarageBand offers a steady beat that helps you keep time when you’re recording or just listening to your song. The feature also uses a one-measure Count-in so that you can get ready when you’re recording a song, just like you hear live bands do when performing.

You can turn the Metronome and Count-in on and off as well as adjust the Count-in bars on both Mac and iOS, and this tutorial shows you how.
