If you’re looking for a tool that offers fade-in and fade-out effects and advanced audio editing features like removing silences, reducing noise, or adjusting track speed, AudioMass is an excellent choice.

Here’s how you can use AudioMass to apply fade-in and fade-out effects to an audio file:
- Click File > Load from Computer to upload your audio file.
- Use your mouse to highlight the section of the audio where you want to apply the fade-in effect.
- Once selected, click Effects > Fade In.

Another free web tool that you can use to apply fade-in and fade-out effects to audio files is Aspose. It supports a wide range of popular audio formats, including AAC, AIFF, FLAC, M4A, MP3, WAV, and more. Here’s how to use it:
- Click the Upload your file button and select the audio file you want to edit from your computer.
- Once your file is uploaded, use the drop-down menu to choose either the Fade In or Fade Out option.
- Click the Fade In/Out button.
- Once the processing is complete, hit Download to save the newly edited audio file.
Aspose does not provide the option to apply both fade-in and fade-out effects simultaneously. If you want to apply both, you’ll need to upload the audio file twice—once for the fade-in effect and again for the fade-out effect.
