Sound intensity levels between moods and oneshots - Off? - FIXED

At first I thought it was my setup what was to fault for this, but now I also tried at work and I get the exact same problem, so I don’t think my system is to fault. Perhaps it’s just me…

Anyways, my general feeling is that the moods are generally very low on volume compared to the oneshots. I understand that the general idea is to have moods in the background and oneshots more in the foreground, but I find I have to crank the individual mood sounds up to max on their individual bars to feel there’s any real sound at all (some sound sets are a lot worse than others from what I can tell) when the main volume slider is at a level where oneshots are ok. And if I adjust the main volume bar to where the moods volumelevel is acceptable (for me) and then click a oneshot sound, like firespell or whatnot, it’s really frikkin’ loud! Like WTFOMGLOLBEGEEZUZ! loud…

Is there any possibility of adjusting the volume of the oneshots too? I need either to be able to turn the oneshot volume down, or the mood volume up.

The problem is of such a magnitude I feel that I now have to resort to either:

  1. Use moods - scrap oneshots (It’ll make people shit themselves)
  2. Use oneshots - scrap moods (no one will hear them anyway.)
  3. Adjust volume between using moods and oneshots. (This micromanaging will kill my ability to DM.)
  4. Scrap syrinscape - it’s really not working for me…

Hi @Kyrre when the one shots are much louder it’s normally due to your speaker set up. In the studio they are only slightly louder than the moods (so they stand out) but that doesn’t always seem to work the same on peoples home set ups. That said our next version of the player will include a volume slider for the one shots so that should resolve that one for you :smile:

Thanks for getting back to me @Steve.

I see. Well I am using quite ordinary Creative desktop speakers and I must say that the difference between the two are staggering: From barely audible background moods till “Oops I need to turn down the volume” oneshots.

When is this next version planned for? Do you have an ETA?

I know the Dev team are working on it at the moment so it should be very soon! @benjamin can most likely tell us a bit more?

Hehe. Sweet. I have a serious DnD session coming up this weekend; A two day marathon that would be made all the more excellent by a fully functionable (to me) Syrinscape.

Just saying… :wink:
