Join audio with crossfade: smooth transitions between tracks in the browser
Crossfade between tracks is the technique that allows imperceptible transitions in continuous mixes. Instead of an abrupt cut, the end of the current track fades out while the beginning of the next starts to appear — and both signals briefly overlap. The ideal crossfade duration depends on the tempo and energy of the tracks: for dance music with similar tempo, 2–4 seconds; for tracks of very different natures, 1 second or less.

Open full toolHow crossfade is implemented at the sample level
- In the overlap of C seconds of crossfade between track A (duration tA) and track B, the final buffer has length tA + tB - C samples. In the overlap region, each output sample is: output[i] = A[tA - C + i] × fade_out[i] + B[i] × fade_in[i]. The fade_out and fade_in factors are calculated with the equal-power curve to maintain constant power.

Full tool FAQ
Crossfade is a transition technique where the end of one track fades out while the beginning of the next fades in, creating a smooth overlap. It is ideal for continuous music mixes, soundtracks, or podcasts where abrupt cuts would sound jarring.
Frequently asked questions
Does crossfade use equal-power or linear curve?
The Audio Joiner uses equal-power for crossfade, which is the industry standard. It maintains constant perceived power during the transition, avoiding the volume "dip" that occurs with the linear curve.

No. It helps explain the scenario and use the tool more safely, but real decisions should consider official sources, full context and qualified guidance when needed.
