“ Our radio workshop is putting together a brief music programme. One generated song has a busy ending, and the spoken introduction follows immediately. I want to check the programme layout before making changes to the song itself. Leaving a small gap is an option, with a possible cost to the pacing. I could also give the ending more time before introducing the next voice. One related term I have encountered is suno shimmer in this context. I still need to judge our particular passage by listening at a consistent level. Would you try a brief gap or a restrained fade when speech follows a dense ending? We can record two versions of the transition and listen away from the editing screen, using the same playback level so that the louder option does not automatically seem clearer. The aim is clear speech without making the song ending feel abruptly cut off. ”
