"Fade on stop/pause" duration control (was: Plug-in for audio fade?)

[chrisjj]

Is there a plug-in that can do audio fade-out upon playback?

Thanks.

I think you need to elaborate more on what you want.  I'm not sure what "audio fade-out upon playback" means.

There isn't a plugin, but there is a crossfade setting you might check out and see if it will do what you want. To enable it, from the main menu, go to Settings -> Playback Settings -> Crossfade -> Enable Crossfade, and choose a mode for crossfade to use. If you want to change the various settings related to crossfade you can do that as well within the Crossfade submenu until you get it configured just how you like it.

I hope that helps!

By audio fade-out I mean the effect wherein volume decreases steadily to zero, e.g. at the end of many pop songs.

I want to be able to add this effect during rockbox playback of a track.

Ah. Thanks.

Thanks but that does only crossfade not plain fade AFAICT.

The standard "Fade out on Stop/pause" might do if it could altered for greater duration e.g. 3s rather than the current ~0.5s. I have asked in a separate thread.

Never tried it but the manual suggests that crossfade does what you want.  Have you tried it?

Yes. I find it does only what my reading of the manual suggests - crossfade between two tracks, not fade out from one track to silence. Thanks though for the suggestion S.

A possible workaround would be to have a file of total silence and add that to the playlist after the song you want to fade out, then use crossfade.

Kind of a kludge but it should work.

[chrisjj]

Thanks, but that would leave the crossfade occuring on every other track transition. "Fade on Stop/pause" would be acceptable only because I don't need an unfaded Stop/pause.

Considering Rockbox isn't a DJing tool, but rather a playback tool for portable devices for listening, features like this generally aren't a high priority (and often will be weighed very critically against any additional costs they might bring with them).

[chrisjj]

Additional costs from a plug-in??

How many audio manipulation plugins do you see currently?

I was simply discussing the general situation, anyway.

> How many audio manipulation plugins do you see currently?

None so far. Did I miss any??

Perhaps the plug-in API doesn't go for that much. Fair enough.

> I was simply discussing the general situation, anyway.

OK. Mine wasn't a request for added functionality.

Do you want to queue up one track at a time and have it fade to stop?
Or do you want to fade every individual track in a multi-track playlist to silence before starting the next track?

I want just "to add this effect during rockbox playback of a track." I .e. on command, RB does fade effect to silence.

EDIT: There needs to be a restore, ideally upon repeat of that command and/or pause/stop and/or track switch.

I am having a problem understanding what you want.
I am unable to parse your last reply.
