How do I add and work with room tone in Narrafix?
Some engineers and publishers prefer to work with room tone for more natural pauses, no not have artificial “dead silence” and a consistent background sound across edits
You can easily add a room tone file directly inside Narrafix Studio to improve the natural sound of your edits, especially in pauses or transitions.
How room tone works in Narrafix
Once a room tone file is added, Narrafix will use it automatically throughout your edits:
-
Inserted Pauses:
Any silence added in Narrafix Studio will use your room tone instead of digital silence.
-
Natural fades:
Fade-ins and fade-outs will no longer go to or come from digital silence.
Instead, they will fade into and out of the room tone, creating a much more natural sound.
How to add a room tone file
- Open your project in Narrafix Studio.
- In the waveform view, locate the toolbar below the waveform.
- Click the ⚙️ Settings on the right side.
- Open “Advanced Settings.”
Here, you can upload a room tone file:
-
For the currently selected file
→ Applies only to that specific audio file
-
For the entire project
→ Applies the same room tone across all files

⚠️ Important note: If you add a room tone file for the entire project, it will overwrite any room tone files already assigned to individual files.
