Talk, and the music gets out of the way. Fade lowers your music's volume when it hears you speaking.
Fade listens for talking in the room and automatically lowers your music's volume — the longer the conversation goes, the lower it dips. No manual reaching for the volume knob.
Fade uses your device's microphone purely to measure loudness in real time. Nothing is recorded, saved, or sent anywhere — it's just checking "is someone talking right now?" moment to moment.
A quick word or two only dips the volume a little. But if talking continues for a few seconds straight, Fade eases the music down further — like a real conversation partner giving you room to talk.
Short pauses — catching a breath, thinking of a word — don't reset anything. Fade only brings the music back to full volume once the conversation actually stops for a couple of seconds.
How sensitive the mic is, how far the music dips, and how long it takes to trigger — every part of the behavior is adjustable in the settings panel, so you can tune it to your voice and your space.
Picture driving with music on and a phone call comes in — or your passenger starts talking. Normally you'd manually turn the volume down, then remember to bring it back up. Fade automates that reflex: it ducks the music the moment it hears you, and hands the volume back the moment the room goes quiet again.
Pick a song, hit start, then talk. The music dips while you're speaking and comes back when you stop.
