Alright, you're going to have to bear with me, folks—maths has never been my strong point. Which is probably why I never understood quite why audio fades were so massively CPU-demanding, but thankfully, YouTuber LaurieWired has created an explainer video that I can almost follow. Almost.
I mean, I can explain to you the rough basics as to why a simple audio fade is potentially the most CPU intensive task you can perform, at least, but the whole video's embedded above and I highly recommend giving it a whirl if you want a detailed explanation of why this mathematical effect occurs, and how modern coding gets around it. We're learning together, and in my case, I'm sitting at the back of my class with a pencil up my nose.
Let me give it a shot regardless. Essentially, when you lower the vol
