Overview
Note: Song trimming is available on Songer Max.
Before you start, here's what to know:
Your original song stays safely stored under "Songs", and the trimmed version is created as a new song
You can trim a song as many times as you want
Trimming doesn't use any credits
Trimmed songs are tagged "Trimmed clip" in your Songs tab. Use Ctrl + F and search "trimmed" to find them quickly
A trimmed song can't be extended. If the result isn't right, trim the original again and archive the first trimmed version
Steps to Trim a Song
Log in to your Songer account
Go to the "Songs" tab
Find the song you want to trim and click the "Trim" button
Set the "Start" and "End" timestamps, or move the slider to define the section you want to keep
Choose how each edge sounds: a hard Trim (instant cut) or a smooth Fade. The start and end are set independently
If you're using a fade, set the fade length and pick a fade curve (see below)
Press Play to preview your selection
Click Trim Song to save
You can press Play inside the Trim editor to hear your selection with the fades applied. Listen through each curve and save once you've found the one you like best.
Fade In and Fade Out
When the Trim editor opens, fade is on by default for both the start and the end. You can switch between Trim and Fade on either side at any time.
Trim: A hard cut. Everything before the start point or after the end point is removed, with no volume change
Fade in: The song starts quietly and gradually rises to full volume
Fade out: The volume gradually drops toward the end point
For each fade, you can set the duration by dragging the fade handles on the waveform or typing an exact time.
Fade Curves
The fade curve controls how the volume changes during the fade. You can pick a different curve for the start and the end.
Linear: Volume changes at a steady, even rate. Simple and predictable
Ease In: Starts slowly, then changes faster toward the end
Ease Out: Changes faster at first, then eases off gently
S-Curve: Slow, then fast, then slow again, for the smoothest, most natural transition
