Can Keynote audio tracks be faded out with a build-out effect?

Is there a way to fade out audio tracks with a build-out effect in Keynote?


For my use-cases it absolutely does not work with pre-made sound tracks that have hard coded fading, as have been suggested mutliple times in this forum, such as Garageband editing etc. My audio track is playing across slides, and slides are advanced manually. So there is no way knowing where the music will be when it reaches the slide where it's supposed to fade out. Today, all I can do is stop the audio track entirely. Which sounds awful, and ruins the whole presentation experience.

There is no built in sound tool in Keynote that will automatically fade out sound in the presentation.


As I understand it, you want to fade out each sound file at different times, each time you play the presentation?

If so, this has to be performed manually in Keynote, using the sound control keyboard keys; F11 to fade down, and F12 to fade up.
