today I released a new free plugin, which has been an audio community most-wanted plugin for quite some time (at least I have seen it pop up a few times over the years on several forums).
Magika Playback Fade, a simple audio plugin designed to reduce listening fatigue by automatically applying smooth fade-ins during playback, whilst being loop-aware.
The plugin helps eliminate abrupt starts, that can be uncomfortable during extended listening sessions, creating a more relaxed monitoring experience for producers, engineers, and everyday users. Think of it like a tape roll-in without the pitch change, just volume.
Magika Playback Fade is available now from Elektra Magika.
PS: This is an ongoing project and I don't have the resources to test all DAWs, however I tried with the ones that are available to me. This plugin will stay free forever. Also, some hosts like ProTools will deactivate it/it seems to freeze after a few seconds of no audio. This is not a bug, it should work again when jumping to a place in the timeline with actual audio.
