Fade-out

/fˈeɪdˈaʊt/

Fade-out

a moviemaking or broadcasting technique in which the sound and image is made to appear gradually

Examples

1. and the fade-out at the end is great because the solo just sort of drifts off without ever really finishing what it was trying to say.

2. The fade-out it turns out, is important and often necessary.

3. and that's pretty much it: the rest of the song is basically just that three more times, and then a fade-out on the first half of the chorus.

4. and it's not like it feels short: there's so much energy in it, and the fade-out at the end makes it seem like it could go on forever.
