Audio fading is one such method of slowly transitioning the volume down and muting the sound.

Adobe Premiere is the best video editing software used by professionals. It provides various audio adjustment features so that you can enhance your production quality.

This article discusses the three top audio fading features and learns how to fade out audio in Premiere.

To use constant power crossfade, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Go to Effects> Audio Transitions > CrossFade > Constant Power.

Exponential Fade Crossfade

The exponential fade sets the audio at an exponential curve, meaning that the audio becomes slow at the start and increases faster and faster, reaching the end. The hit makes an intense scene and can be used for horror sounds or beat drops. Thus, the Exponential fade makes the best Adobe Premiere fade-out audio.

You can add an exponential fade using the following steps:
