can you fade out drums?

[fenderman21guitar]

just wondering if..as the title suggests, you can fade out drums at the end of a song, i know how to fade out layers, but the drums stay at full volume

The only way I know to do this is to do a Mix to Riff. The new riff now contains the entire song and you can fade that.

You can also export the final riff, import it into a new song/tune, put it in the song layer, mix it to riff, export it again, open your original song, import it back and put it in place of the final riff. It will be called bounce, you can do the fade thing using the info button and everything will fade including the drums. Long winded enit

Another option is to mix to wave or ogg and fade it using external software like Audacity. Of course, you can't currently get this back into Riffworks any sense.

Bill, why would would I need to export and import? Am I missing something? I just mix to riff everything in my song line. And then fade that riff. Doesn't that include the drums also?

Cause he's one of those Import / Export guys


Depending on the song and how you have recorded it you can do a fade of drums by gradually fading the dial in each layer.
It only works in certain situations.

Nah, don't think you're missing anything Bluesy I was just offering a different way of achieving the same effect. I have also faded songs the way Tim suggests and this can be quite effective if the riffs are not too long. The biggest differences in the way you suggest and mine is control and final tweakings maybe. I find it easier to fade a mixed riff as you get the length of the riff in the info window rather than the whole mixed song and once a song is mixed to riff then you can't tweak any individual stuff in it like instruments or layers etc.

PS. I think Tim tickles his into shape with one of his spare feathers.
