What is a common fix for audio artifacts like pops at the end of segments?

Adding dissolve transitions at the end of audio segments can effectively mitigate audio artifacts such as pops or clicks. When audio cuts abruptly, it can create these unwanted sounds due to the sudden change in waveform, which doesn’t allow for a smooth transition. A dissolve transition gradually fades out the audio over a brief period, allowing for a more natural ending to the segment. This technique smooths the audio waveform and minimizes the chance of audible artifacts by essentially blending the audio at the cut point.

The other options, while they might address specific audio issues, do not specifically target the problem of pops. For example, extending the audio track might not necessarily resolve the abruptness that causes discomfort; merely altering the volume levels may not address the abrupt cut. EQ adjustments generally focus on frequency balancing rather than addressing sudden audio interruptions.
