IMPLEMENTING THE FADE-IN AUDIO EFFECT FOR REAL-TIME COMPUTING

Audio fading is performed in order to smoothly modify over time the level of an audio signal. In particular, the fade-in audio effect designates a gradually increase in the audio volume, starting from silence. In practice, audio fading is mostly carried out within audio editors i.e. in off-line mode by employing various transcendental functions to enforce the fade profile. Taking into account the increasing demand for interactive media services requiring real-time audio processing, the present approach advances an effective method of constructing the audio fade-in shape with a view to real-time computing. The paper encompasses plain and straightforward implementations in pure JavaScript, prepared precisely to validate the method of audio volume processing proposed here.
