It also has my usual bugbear in that fades are calculated linearly rather than logarithmically as humans actually perceive loudness. (Decibels are logarithmic for a reason.)
How come so many apps get this wrong? This is really basic psychoacoustics, and linear fades sound terrible!
> fade-outs are almost never useful unless you can alter the curve.
I agree, but would like to add that you should be altering a logarithmic curve.
- pantelisk 6y agoYou are 100% correct. I guess it's because it's a js developer doing audio, instead of an audio engineer doing js! So I have a lot to learn, most of the plugins have minor issues, but I 'll be focusing in correcting those when I get the chance!
- vel0city 6y agoI agree with the above posters. Things like normalize as well should also probably have their value expressed as dB as that's kind of the industry norm from what I understand. I do have to say, this is a super cool tool and I've definitely bookmarked it. I normally use tools like Audacity to quickly record, trim, and normalize audio tracks so this tool fits my use cases very well. Thanks for sharing!
- rectang 6y agoYou're in good company! There are countless linear loudness controls out there. My "favorite" from years ago was Logic Audio. Hopefully they fixed it a long time ago.
