I guess there’s no chance it will fade on a threshold rather than a specific time?

Can you post the usage of your custom commands?

I think you can already do that if you use cwb_hooks (of course you need my metadb_display_hook implementation component if you use 0.9.5.3+).
set cwb_hooks’ %cwb_next_user% to your custom tag name, and set crossfader behavior control accordingly.

Acro: You are great. By far my favorite 3rd part dev

I just had a thought, but of course it might not be an easy implementation:

Now with conditional controlflow, it could be great if the fading track (next track) will expose it’s tags (say something like $nexttag(comment) ) when it’s buffered and at that point configure the crossfader settings to create a custom transition based on track properties.

Why that? Say, live performances (entire live or albums with similar seemless track transitions) a crossfade is great to create a smooth transition, but on other tracks (usually studio recorded) with a clean beginning/end, I would rather overlap than crossfade. A custom setting could then enable liveperformances to be mixed very smoothly with other tracks. Additionally maybe even the fadelength could be defined.

I could benefit very much from this, because I created a batch script that scans for audio volume in 30ms of beginning and end, that shows me with a very high probablility if a track needs a fade or an overlap

if you get my new output component, I’m sure you’ll be a lot happier than ever.

Ohh, have I overseen the latest update? OVERLAP mode, YES, thanks Sir!

the conditional activation has been there long time ago with title formatting, it just doesn’t work anymore with newer version of foobar2000, so now behavior control is implemented inside crossfader.

also the good news is, your wish has come true, overlap mode has been implemented in the new version.

Ooooh you finally implemented conditional activation!!!

Please tell me the next update will enable overlap modes instead of always crossfade

to perfectly (without any samples loss) crossfade to the next track manually, it requires updating the component for each fb2k version (it’s a hack), so I didn’t re-enable it.

Hi,
did you renabled the crossfader output device?
how do I enable it?
hopefully, gapless manual trackchange was best (rock)
