"One-Shots" too loud. Any way to separately adjust? - HELP TESTING

Here’s something to try for you above having weird results with speakers making OneShots WAY to loud.

  1. There are speaker settings under the little cog. Try selecting mono.
  2. Try a direct (physical) cable to the speaker (rather than BlueTooth) and see if you are still getting the same result.

Here is some additional information that might help. I’ve found that whether the one-shots are too loud actually depends on the speaker setup. For example, if I play sounds through my laptop’s speakers, the one-shots volume is appropriate compared to other sounds coming from Syrinscape. On my PC’s powered speakers, it also sounds fine. However, when I use Bluetooth speakers (I use two UE Megabooms in stereo at the table - great surround sound!) the one-shots are much, much louder than other sounds. Even turning mood elements to 100% and turning down the global volume slider still results in one-shots that are dramatically louder (I’d say 5-10x, subjectively) than everything else. As a result, I’ve had to resort to turning my laptop’s volume way down temporarily before playing any one-shot. Note that it isn’t just one or two - everything from dragon roars to huzzahs are affected.

You can stop a OneShot by selecting any MOOD, or by hitting PAUSE and then quickly hitting the MOOD you want… again.

The long awaited OneShot volume slider coming soon to a Syrinscape near you. What do you think of the placement & look etc? There’s still time to tweak it for you?!

This looks great! Will it scroll down, i.e. disappear when scrolling up, or will it stay fixed at the bottom of the window? (I’d personally prefer the latter. :wink: ) And will it affect all OneShots or just the general ones?

#39

It’ll stay fixed, so you won’t have to scroll :smile:

Users like you have contributed to many many of the really good features in Syrinscape, so keep the feedbak/questions/ideas coming as they occur to you. :slight_smile:

Great to see the one shot volume control, do we have a release date?

#44

Excited about the volume slider. Update coming soon?

#45

Yep. This will come with our next update.

Also, this has already been implemented in the Master/Minion Player.

Want in on the beta?

#46

Yes please for the beta!

Good day Ben and team.

Wow, so please ignore my comment left on a youtube video about this (I will see if I can edit it out)… This is exactly what I was referring to as well. My players and I have found the same issue. I use the sounds as a background thing, so we keep the sounds overall down, but when I use the one offs it totally blasts the players… Its extremely jarring, so the fact that you are doing this is making me jump for joy!!! We use an iPad with a single speaker set on mono setting.

So I cant wait for this to come down…

The Master/Minion interface ALSO will let you adjust the volumes of the OneShots… so that might help to. :slight_smile:

This is great news! Just tried Syrinscape at the table and they loved it, but the consensus at the table is that “One-Shots” are not to be used as they are joltingly loud. Otherwise, fantastic app! Great atmosphere for our Curse of Strahd campaign. Do we have an ETA on the next update?

The Master/Minion’s Public Beta is up and running.

Info here:
https://forum.syrinscape.com/c/master-minion-public-beta

With this tool you can change the volume of the OneShots!

There are somemissing features still, like Campaigns and decent Keyword searching, but other than that we are all go!
