Crossfade by decibels rather than time? - Airtime Development Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

I'd love to see a feature where the crossfade is controlled by the decibels rather than purely the time. Is this possible?

Many thanks

Yes! Great idea. Then the cue point does not have to be set on each file.

Hey Iain,

There is no crossfade features yet (this is when the tracks are overlapped). For regular fading, this is an interesting idea - is this because you have tracks that have a long period of silence at the beginning or end?

Hi Martin,

There isn't an excessive amount of silence in our tracks, but here's an example of the settings we use with RadioDJ:

Mixing Settings:
Fadeout duration = 3500ms (when mixing with the next song)
Overlap duration = 800ms (the duration of the mix)

Silence remover
Start threshold = -46db
Mix threshold = -32db
End threshold = -47db

Does that make any sense?

Cheers
Iain

Howdy, Stranger!
