I have an AVAudioPlayer playing some audio (duh!)
The audio is initiated when the user presses a button. When they release it I want the audio to fade out.
I am using Interface builder...so I am trying to hook up a function on "touch up inside" that fades the audio out over 1 sec then stops.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Here's how I'm doing it:
-(void)doVolumeFade
{
if (self.player.volume > 0.1) {
self.player.volume = self.player.volume - 0.1;
[self performSelector:@selector(doVolumeFade) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.1];
} else {
// Stop and get the sound ready for playing again
[self.player stop];
self.player.currentTime = 0;
[self.player prepareToPlay];
self.player.volume = 1.0;
}
}
Swift has an AVAudioPlayer method you can use for fading out which was included as of iOS 10.0:
var audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer()
...
audioPlayer.setVolume(0, fadeDuration: 3)
I tackled this problem using an NSOperation subclass so fading the volume doesn't block the main thread. It also allows fades to be queued and and forgotten about. This is especially useful for playing one shot sounds with fade-in and fade-out effects as they are dealloced after the last fade is completed.
// Example of MXAudioPlayerFadeOperation in NSOperationQueue
NSOperationQueue *audioFaderQueue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
[audioFaderQueue setMaxConcurrentOperationCount:1]; // Execute fades serially.
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"bg" ofType:@"mp3"]; // path to bg.mp3
AVAudioPlayer *player = [[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath] error:NULL] autorelease];
[player setNumberOfLoops:-1];
[player setVolume:0.0];
// Note that delay is delay after last fade due to the Operation Queue working serially.
MXAudioPlayerFadeOperation *fadeIn = [[MXAudioPlayerFadeOperation alloc] initFadeWithAudioPlayer:player toVolume:1.0 overDuration:3.0];
[fadeIn setDelay:2.0];
MXAudioPlayerFadeOperation *fadeDown = [[MXAudioPlayerFadeOperation alloc] initFadeWithAudioPlayer:player toVolume:0.1 overDuration:3.0];
[fadeDown setDelay:0.0];
MXAudioPlayerFadeOperation *fadeUp = [[MXAudioPlayerFadeOperation alloc] initFadeWithAudioPlayer:player toVolume:1.0 overDuration:4.0];
[fadeUp setDelay:0.0];
MXAudioPlayerFadeOperation *fadeOut = [[MXAudioPlayerFadeOperation alloc] initFadeWithAudioPlayer:player toVolume:0.0 overDuration:3.0];
[fadeOut setDelay:2.0];
[audioFaderQueue addOperation:fadeIn]; // 2.0s - 5.0s
[audioFaderQueue addOperation:fadeDown]; // 5.0s - 8.0s
[audioFaderQueue addOperation:fadeUp]; // 8.0s - 12.0s
[audioFaderQueue addOperation:fadeOut]; // 14.0s - 17.0s
[fadeIn release];
[fadeDown release];
[fadeUp release];
[fadeOut release];
For MXAudioPlayerFadeOperation class code see this post.
I ended up combining some of the answer together and converted it to Swift ending up in this method:
func fadeVolumeAndPause(){
if self.player?.volume > 0.1 {
self.player?.volume = self.player!.volume - 0.1
var dispatchTime: dispatch_time_t = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(0.1 * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))
dispatch_after(dispatchTime, dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
self.fadeVolumeAndPause()
})
} else {
self.player?.pause()
self.player?.volume = 1.0
}
}
These are all good answers, however they don't deal with specifying the rate of fade (or applying a logarithmic curve to the fade, which is sometimes desirable), or specifying the number of dB's reduction from unity that you are fading to.
this is an except from one of my apps, with a few "bells and whistles" removed, that are not relevant to this question.
enjoy!

I wrote a helper class in Swift for fading AvAudioPlayer in and out. You can use logarithmic volume function for more gradual fading effect.
let player = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: soundURL, error: nil)
let fader = iiFaderForAvAudioPlayer(player: player)
fader.fadeIn()
fader.fadeOut()
Here a demo app: https://github.com/evgenyneu/sound-fader-ios
An extension for swift 3 inspired from the most voted answer. For those of you who like copy-pasting :)
extension AVAudioPlayer {
func fadeOut() {
if volume > 0.1 {
// Fade
volume -= 0.1
perform(#selector(fadeOut), with: nil, afterDelay: 0.1)
} else {
// Stop and get the sound ready for playing again
stop()
prepareToPlay()
volume = 1
}
}
}
Swift 3
I like Ambroise Collon answer's , so i voted up but Swift is statically typed so the performSelector: methods are to fall by the wayside, maybe an alternative could be dispatch async (in this version I've added also the destination volume as parameter)
func dispatchDelay(delay:Double, closure:@escaping ()->()) {
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: DispatchTime.now() + delay, execute: closure)
}
extension AVAudioPlayer {
func fadeOut(vol:Float) {
if volume > vol {
//print("vol is : \(vol) and volume is: \(volume)")
dispatchDelay(delay: 0.1, closure: {
[weak self] in
guard let strongSelf = self else { return }
strongSelf.volume -= 0.01
strongSelf.fadeOut(vol: vol)
})
} else {
volume = vol
}
}
func fadeIn(vol:Float) {
if volume < vol {
dispatchDelay(delay: 0.1, closure: {
[weak self] in
guard let strongSelf = self else { return }
strongSelf.volume += 0.01
strongSelf.fadeIn(vol: vol)
})
} else {
volume = vol
}
}
}
This seems to me to be a descent use of an NSOperationQueue.
Hence here is my solution:
-(void) fadeIn
{
if (self.currentPlayer.volume >= 1.0f) return;
else {
self.currentPlayer.volume+=0.10;
__weak typeof (self) weakSelf = self;
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:0.2f];
[self.fadingQueue addOperationWithBlock:^{
NSLog(@"fading in %.2f", self.currentPlayer.volume);
[weakSelf fadeIn];
}];
}
}
-(void) fadeOut
{
if (self.currentPlayer.volume <= 0.0f) return;
else {
self.currentPlayer.volume -=0.1;
__weak typeof (self) weakSelf = self;
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:0.2f];
[self.fadingQueue addOperationWithBlock:^{
NSLog(@"fading out %.2f", self.currentPlayer.volume);
[weakSelf fadeOut];
}];
}
}
How about this: (if time passed in is negative then fade out the sound, otherwise fade in)
- (void) fadeInOutVolumeOverTime: (NSNumber *)time
{
#define fade_out_steps 0.1
float theVolume = player.volume;
NSTimeInterval theTime = [time doubleValue];
int sign = (theTime >= 0) ? 1 : -1;
// before we call this, if we are fading out, we save the volume
// so that we can restore back to that level in the fade in
if ((sign == 1) &&
((theVolume >= savedVolume) ||
(theTime == 0))) {
player.volume = savedVolume;
}
else if ((sign == -1) && (theVolume <= 0)) {
NSLog(@"fading");
[player pause];
[self performSelector:@selector(fadeInOutVolumeOverTime:) withObject:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:0] afterDelay:1.0];
}
else {
theTime *= fade_out_steps;
player.volume = theVolume + fade_out_steps * sign;
[self performSelector:@selector(fadeInOutVolumeOverTime:) withObject:time afterDelay:fabs(theTime)];
}
}
Swift solution:
The top rated answer here is great but it gives a stuttering effect as the volume step of 0.1 is too much. Using 0.01 gives a smoother fade effect to hear.
Using this code you can specify how long you want the fade transition to last.
let fadeVolumeStep: Float = 0.01
let fadeTime = 0.5 // Fade time in seconds
var fadeVolumeStepTime: Double {
return fadeTime / Double(1.0 / fadeVolumeStep)
}
func fadeOut() {
guard let player = self.player else {
return
}
if !player.playing { return }
func fadeOutPlayer() {
if player.volume > fadeVolumeStep {
player.volume -= fadeVolumeStep
delay(time: fadeVolumeStepTime, closure: {
fadeOutPlayer()
})
} else {
player.stop()
player.currentTime = 0
player.prepareToPlay()
}
}
fadeOutPlayer()
}
func fadeIn() {
guard let player = self.player else {
return
}
if player.playing { return }
player.volume = 0
player.play()
func fadeInPlayer() {
if player.volume <= 1 - fadeVolumeStep {
player.volume += fadeVolumeStep
delay(time: fadeVolumeStepTime, closure: {
fadeInPlayer()
})
} else {
player.volume = 1
}
}
fadeInPlayer()
}
func delay(time delay:Double, closure:()->()) {
dispatch_after(
dispatch_time(
DISPATCH_TIME_NOW,
Int64(delay * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))
),
dispatch_get_main_queue(), closure)
}
you can adjust the time using fadeTime constant.
In Objective-C try this:
NSURL *trackURL = [[NSURL alloc]initFileURLWithPath:@"path to audio track"];
// fade duration in seconds
NSTimeInterval fadeDuration = 0.3;
// duration of the audio track in seconds
NSTimeInterval audioTrackDuration = 5.0;
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:trackURL error:nil];
[audioPlayer play];
// first we set the volume to 1 - highest
[audioPlayer setVolume:1.0];
// then to 0 - lowest
[musicAudioPlayer setVolume:0 fadeDuration:audioTrackDuration - fadeDuration];
A very good solution to this problem is available from Nick Lockwood at objc.io. It leverages Core Animation to time volume changes which can come in handy if one needs to synchronise UI animations with audio volume changes, including interactive animations.
