Snd_DurationFadeIn

A track can be gently faded in. In this case state how many second the fading in should last until the full volume should be achieved.

Snd_DurationFadeOut

Songs can also be gently faded out. In other words, they are getting more and more quiet prior to the end. Here set the time, how long prior to the end the fading out should start.

Snd_Volume

Specify here at what volume the track should be played back.

Snd_DelayTillStart

You can delay the start of a track. Specify here the length of the delay.

Snd_PauseTillNext

If you do not want the following track to begin immediately, specify here the length of the break between songs.

Snd_StartPos

It is also possible to only play a section of a track. Here you determine from what point in the song playing should start. For example, 20 secs -> The song begins at the 20th second. The first 20 seconds of the song are not played.

0 -> From the beginning.

Snd_EndPos

Here you can determine when the song should end. In that respect, the timestamp in the song is to be selected again. If you want to end the song after 2 minutes, enter 120 secs here.

 

Example: Starting and final positions

You wish to only play 1 minute of the song. However, the part of the song which you would like to play back begins at the 45th second.

Starting position = 45 secs

Final position = 105 secs

 

You will see the music in its own track in the Timeline. The sound wave display will have alternating colors to make it easier to see when a title starts and ends.

Timeline_Music2

 

The volume of the background music can be set individually. In the next chapter you will learn how this is done.
