Gain changes and automation
The initial volume setting applies immediately when processing starts. Later
target changes, including scheduled events and JavaScript setParam, move from the current
linear gain to 10 ** (volume / 20) over ceil(sampleRate * 0.005) samples
(5 ms, rounded up to whole samples). The interpolation is linear in gain, not dB.
The event sample uses the first interpolation step; the target is reached on the
last sample of that interval. A new target during a transition starts a fresh
5 ms transition from the gain already reached.
At 48 kHz, a target change at frame 128 finishes at frame 367. This smoothing reduces abrupt gain changes but means an event does not produce an instantaneous level switch or an arbitrary sample-by-sample gain curve. See the executable Python and JavaScript Volume automation examples.

Volume
A simple but essential control that lets you adjust how loud your music plays. Perfect for finding the right listening level for different situations.
Listening Enhancement Guide
- Adjust for different listening scenarios:
- Background music while working
- Active listening sessions
- Late night quiet listening
- Keep volume at comfortable levels to avoid:
- Listening fatigue
- Sound distortion
- Potential hearing damage
Parameters
- Volume - Controls the overall loudness (-60dB to +24dB)
- Lower values: Quieter playback
- Higher values: Louder playback
- 0dB: Original volume level
Remember: These basic controls are the foundation of good sound. Start with these adjustments before using more complex effects!
