Audio Joiner & Mixer: Merge MP3 Files with DJ-Style Transitions

Combine several recordings into one file in the order you choose. Join them end to end, or pick a crossfade, bass swap or filter transition for every joint.

Free Online Audio Merger

Add up to 20 files, arrange them, choose a transition between each pair of tracks and download a single WAV file. Everything is processed in your browser.

What Can You Do with the Audio Joiner & Mixer?

  • Join files end to end: with No transition, each file starts exactly where the previous one ends. This suits podcast segments, lecture parts and voice takes.
  • Choose a transition for every joint: each pair of tracks has its own setting, so one change can be a simple fade and the next a long blend. Eight ready-made transitions are included.
  • Build your own transition: Customize opens the three layers a DJ works with: the volume curve, the EQ (when the bass changes over) and filter sweeps.
  • Hear each transition on its own: Listen plays from a few seconds before the joint, so you don’t have to play the whole mix to check one change.
  • Change the order: move tracks up or down in the list or remove them; the result is rebuilt each time.

The Transitions

Transition What happens Good for
No transition The next track starts exactly where the previous one ends Speech, podcast segments, gapless albums
Smooth fade One track fades out while the next fades in, at constant loudness Songs with different tempos; any music
Warm fade A smooth fade in which the bass changes over in the middle, so the two bass lines never clash Pop, rock and soul tracks with strong bass
Full blend Both tracks play at full level; the bass swaps from one to the other in the middle Dance tracks with the same tempo
3-band blend Highs, mids and bass change over one after another Long, gradual blends
Build-up The next track opens up through a low-pass filter while the old one thins out; the bass swaps at the end Building tension before a drop or chorus
Filter wash The old track sinks behind a low-pass filter as the new one emerges from it Soft changes between calm tracks
Dissolve The new track fades in thin and fills out; the old one thins out and fades away Ambient and melodic music
Drop The new track fades in underneath, then the old one is cut at the end A hard change on a strong beat

Which Transition and Length Should You Use?

For speech, use No transition, so no words overlap. For songs that have nothing in common, a Smooth fade of 4 to 8 seconds is the safe choice. Blends in which both tracks play at full level work when the tracks have the same tempo; with a length of 16 or 32 seconds they sound like a DJ mix. An overlap is never longer than half of the shorter track. The curves behind the fades are explained in Linear vs. Logarithmic Fades.

Tips for a Mix That Flows

This tool does not change the tempo of your tracks or line up their beats, so the choice of tracks matters. Long blends sound best when neighboring tracks have tempos within a few BPM of each other and keys that go together. You can find the tempo and key of each track with the BPM & Key Analyzer and check which keys are compatible with the Camelot Wheel; How to Pick Songs Like a DJ explains how to put a set in order. When tempos differ a lot, use a short Smooth fade instead of a blend.

Who Is It For?

Podcasters assembling an intro, an interview and an outro, teachers combining lesson recordings, and musicians or fitness instructors building a continuous mix. If you want music to play underneath a voice rather than after it, use the Auto-Ducker instead.

Result

The joined waveform will appear here after you add files.

Time: 00:00 / 00:00
Tip: Use headphones to hear the changes clearly. On a phone, make sure silent mode is off.
Tip: Need to cut out unwanted parts first?
Open Audio Trimmer

The result is a 16-bit stereo WAV. If the peaks in an overlap would go above 0 dB, the level of the whole file is lowered automatically to -1 dB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Audio Joiner & Mixer really free?

Yes. The Audio Joiner & Mixer is free to use, with no sign-up and no daily limits.

Are my audio files safe and private?

Yes. The audio is processed in your browser on your own device. Your files are never uploaded to our servers.

How do I merge two MP3 files into one?

Add both files, put them in the right order with the arrow buttons and click Download WAV. With No transition, the second file starts exactly where the first one ends.

How do I make a DJ-style transition between two songs?

Add the songs, choose a transition such as Full blend or Warm fade between them and set its length. Click Listen to hear just that transition, and open Customize if you want to change the volume curve, the bass swap or the filter.

Can I use a different transition between each pair of tracks?

Yes. Every joint has its own transition and length. Use All transitions to set them all at once, then change individual ones.

What is a bass swap?

In a bass swap, the bass of the outgoing track is removed at the moment the bass of the incoming track is let in, so only one bass line plays at a time. Two bass lines together sound muddy; swapping them keeps a blend clean.

What do the filter transitions do?

A low-pass filter removes the highs, so a track sounds as if it were playing in the next room; a high-pass filter removes the lows, so it sounds thin. Sweeping the filter during the transition lets one track sink away or another one emerge gradually.

Does the tool match the tempo of my tracks?

No. Tracks are mixed at their original tempo and pitch, and their beats are not aligned automatically. For beat-driven blends, choose tracks with similar tempos; you can check them with the BPM & Key Analyzer. For tracks with different tempos, use a short Smooth fade.

Can I join files in different formats?

Yes. MP3, WAV, FLAC and M4A files can be mixed freely, because every file is decoded first and the result is saved as one WAV file. Mono files are placed in both channels of the stereo result.

How many files can I join?

Up to 20. Long files need a lot of memory, because everything is processed on your device; on a phone, an hour of audio in total is a sensible limit.

How do I join audio without a gap or an overlap?

Choose No transition. The files are then placed directly after each other, sample by sample, with nothing added and nothing removed.

Will joining reduce the audio quality?

No. Outside the transitions the audio is copied unchanged, and the result is saved as an uncompressed 16-bit WAV file.

Can I get the result as an MP3?

The tool saves a WAV file. To make an MP3, convert it afterwards with the WAV to MP3 Converter.

Do I need to install any software?

No. The tool runs in your web browser on computers, phones and tablets.
