Fades

Fade in

Apply a small fade in effect when starting playback. (Start of new play session, play a pause, when pressing next or manually changing the current track).

Fade out

Apply a small fade out effect when pausing playback. (When pausing, when pressing next or manually changing the current track).

Crossfade (Symfonium 12.2.0+)

Enabling crossfade creates smooth transitions between tracks when you’re not listening to an album in its original order. You can customize:

  • Fade-out duration: How long the current track takes to fade out.
  • Fade-in duration: How long the next track takes to fade in.
  • Fade curves: The style and pace at which the volume changes during transitions.

These settings allow you to create transitions exactly to your preference.


Fade-out Curve

Defines how the volume decreases at the end of a track:

  • Disabled: Turns off fade-out.
  • Linear: Volume decreases evenly from maximum to silent.
  • Smooth: Gradually decreases volume smoothly.
  • Bungee: Volume decreases slowly at first, then quickly drops.
  • Flat: Volume stays constant without fading.

Fade-out Duration

Specifies how long the fade-out effect lasts.


Fade-in Curve

Defines how the volume increases at the start of the next track:

  • Disabled: Turns off fade-in.
  • Linear: Volume increases evenly from silent to maximum.
  • Smooth: Gradually increases volume smoothly.
  • Bungee: Volume quickly increases at first, then slows down.
  • Flat: Track starts immediately at full volume without fading.

Fade-in Duration

Specifies how long the fade-in effect lasts.


Important Notes

  • Synchronization: Fade-out and fade-in effects finish simultaneously at the end of the active track if both are enabled.

  • Basic crossfade: For a balanced crossfade, set both fade-out and fade-in durations equally and adjust curves to achieve your desired effect.

  • Instant start: If fade-in is disabled, the current track fades out according to your settings, but the next track immediately starts at full volume.

  • Flat curve: Selecting a flat curve maintains full volume during the transition, allowing one track to stay fully audible throughout.
