Forget the volume buttons while listening to music! Traveling on noisy bus? Use Amplifier mode to make music volume gracefully adjust itself depending on the average noise. Or you wish to listen music but your attention is needed? Use Office mode to instantly auto lower the volume on any noise.
All this intelligently, gracefully and just as much as you prefer using the adjustable in/out characteristics curve!
Think of a world where music is always playing at the correct volume level.
◆◆◆ WHY ◆◆◆
√ You don’t have to play with the volume at every transport stop n goes, or when passing by a loud street.
√ You can have full attention to others while listening music and you dont have to take your earbuds out while talking to someone.
◆◆◆ HOW IT WORKS ◆◆◆
AutoVolume will constantly measure the outside noise level with the iPhones built in microphone (on the headphones) and then gracefully adjust the music volume depending on the average noise measurements and your personal settings.
You can fine-tune just about everything and that is what makes AV so special.
•••• HOW TO USE ••••
Plug your headphones in (with microphone), start music playing and turn AutoVolume to ON state. AutoVolume will run in the background and do its job.
•••• BEFORE USING ••••
Set your desired Minimum & Maximum volume limits and save your profile for later use.
•••• TWO MAIN MODE ••••
▸ Amplifier mode (volume adapts to the outside noise)
▸ Office mode (volume drops to the noise outside)
AutoVolume comes with a documentation BUT it can be used not only by professionals, using the pre-configured profiles made for typical noise environments.
•••• FEATURES ••••
▸ Editing and saving Profiles
▸ Change characteristics of signal-to-noise ratio (inout/output volume curve) with your finger tips
▸ Change volume fader speed and increment (have the volume gracefully adjusted your way)
▸ Change threshold (set your preferences of minimum noise input)
▸ Choose between different averaging methods (Simple average or Median average)
▸ Change Hold at Minimum duration
▸ Change sampling speed and duration (for reaction speed and averaging characteristics)
▸ Use Hold at Minimum function (volume remains low for a pre-configured amount of seconds)
▸ Use MicTouch protection (no false volume inputs while pressing the microphone to switch songs)
▸ Use different profiles (load configurations quickly for different situations)
▸ Built in Music player (access your iPod library right from the app)
▸ Shake device for visual help
▸ Bluetooth support (with built-in microphone)
Median averaging is very handy when it comes to excluding short period, on-off sounds.
•••• REQUIREMENTS ••••
▸ You will need to be wearing your headphones with integrated microphone.
Latest reviews of AutoVolume ~ Automatic Volume Control app for iPhone and iPad
Great attempt to create an auto volume control. Wanted to use it for my Bluetooth speaker but not compatible with Bluetooth or streaming music apps. Let me know when you get this working. Id love to use this app.
No Bluetooth
Extremely accurate and functional. But its almost too complicated to use. Needs more simplification and/or instructions. Additionally, the red "AutoVolume" bar that is ALWAYS at the top of the screen is irritating to say the least. But as I said, it does do what it says, and then some (once you figure it out).
Sweeeeeet, the whole day Im listening music with it and finally Im aware when the office phone rings :) Really nice floating graphic effects by the way..
This app works perfect for headphones. The preset profiles allow you to just set and go and if you want to modify the settings, the learning curve is steep but short. I was told videos are on the way and that will make it easy for anybody. The part I love is I changed the office profile to allow me to play loud music on speakers in a workout studio and when I talk, the volume reduces how much and for how long I set it for and I can set it to respond to different volumes of my voice, so not just for headphones. Wow
