Moving from a song ending into speech

Hannahpl

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. A short pause might be enough, although it changes the pace of the segment. Alternatively, I could delay the voice and let the ending finish naturally. The texture has prompted me to read about suno shimmer in this context. I still need to judge our particular passage by listening at a consistent level. Which transition would you test first when a busy ending leads into speech? 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. I want the presenter to remain intelligible while the musical ending keeps its character.
