ONE WAY TO USE IT · ILLUSTRATION

Keep the finish, change the journey

The editor checks that your last section reaches the original source end. Your ears decide whether the transition and closing phrase feel complete.

Try your version

Opening → middle → endingChosen opening → ending

An original ending is different from a fade-out

This workflow retains the end of your recording rather than composing a new finish. If the original fades, contains silence or ends abruptly, that remains part of its ending.

Open the advanced controls to include more of the closing phrase. If it needs more time than the target allows, choose a longer version or a different creative approach.

A few things you might be wondering

Will it invent a new ending?

No. It keeps audio already present in the file, not a generated final chord or drum hit.

How much ending can I keep?

Open advanced studio view and move the last section’s start earlier. Its end stays at the source end while protection is on. Adjust other sections to meet the total length.

Can I turn protection off?

Yes. Uncheck Keep the original ending if you prefer a different excerpt.
