I need to play 2 audio files, consecutively, when the first one ends, the seconds one needs to begin playing...
2 calls for playEffect() runs the files simultaneously.
SimpleAudioEngine::getInstance()->playEffect("effect1.mp3") ;
SimpleAudioEngine::getInstance()->playEffect("effect2.mp3") ;
It is doing what it is supposed to do.
Off the top of my head, if you know the durations of each effect. You can play effect1 and schedule a method with delay of effect1's Duration. Once that method if called you can play the effect2.
It's dirty but it will work. :P

I have a working RL model and set up that produce a video for me - however becuase the model is reasonably good, the videos are very short (reach a desitination therfore better = shorter)
Is there a way to drop the frame rate of the video output? I know it can be done with a gif. And that it can be done with ffmpeg but I can't workout how to pass it down.
I've dropped the fps in my environment from 50>10 expecting the video to be 5 times as long but that didn't work.
Save me stackoverflow you're my only hope. (appart from posting on github)
When you say that you dropped the fps from 50 to 10, I assume you changed env.metadata.video.frames_per_second, which initializes to 50 (for gym versions less than 0.22.0):
{
'render.modes': ['human', 'rgb_array'],
'video.frames_per_second': 50
}
Starting with gym 0.22.0, VideoRecorder class gets the frames_per_sec to write the video with:
env.metadata.get("render_fps", 30)
Setting env.metadata["render_fps"] = 4 should result in a slowed down video.
Is there a way to load multiple songs into Pygame? I'm not talking about sound effects like this;
crash_sound = pygame.mixer.Sound("crash.ogg")
#and
pygame.mixer.Sound.play(crash)
because I know you can have multiple different sound effects, assigned to different variables, obviously. But I'm talking about the music function in pygame (this one):
pygame.mixer.music.load("chill_music.ogg")
#and
pygame.mixer.music.stop()
because you can't assign it to variables, or anything, you just set the mixer.music thing to one ogg file and can't have more.
I need this feature, because it let's me set it to a '-1' value making it play over and over again, which I'm pretty sure you can't do with the sound effects, but I want two different songs for two different levels.
I hope it makes sense.
Thanks

Actually, you can:
play()
begin sound playback
play(loops=0, maxtime=0, fade_ms=0) -> Channel
The loops argument controls how many times the sample will be repeated after being played the first time. ... If loops is set to -1 the Sound will loop indefinitely (though you can still call stop() to stop it).
So you can use the Sound class.
but I want two different songs for two different levels
Nothing stops you from calling pygame.mixer.music.load(...) again with another sound file. It will stop playing the current file and start the new one.
Note:
The difference between the music playback and regular Sound playback is that the music is streamed, and never actually loaded all at once...
So if your music files are rather big and you don't want to store them in memory, using pygame.mixer.music is the way to go. If you don't mind loading the files completely, you can use the Sound class.
I have the music that is always run in the background and some activities that would play sound when triggered. The music works fine.
pygame.mixer.music.load(os.path.join(SOUND_FOLDER, 'WateryGrave.ogg'))
The problem I have is that when there are 2 or more activities triggering sounds, then only one would be played (not including the background music) and the rest are muted. Is there any solution to this?
you can add sounds to different channels using the mixer:
pygame.mixer.Channel(0).play(pygame.mixer.Sound('sound\gun_fire.wav'))
pygame.mixer.Channel(1).play(pygame.mixer.Sound('sound\enemy_hit.wav'))
Within each channel you can still only play one sound at a time, but you can group sounds into different channels if they would need to play at the same time.
You can add more channels like this:
pygame.mixer.set_num_channels(10) # default is 8
A simple example. For the docs on Channels, go to:
https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/mixer.html#pygame.mixer.Channel
I want to make a program where you arrange sound samples. A cursor plays the sound it sweeps over and there can be many sound samples played at once. I want the user to be able to change/intterupt the playing(aka cursor progress) with a mouse click(similar to a progress bar).
I understand there are some ways of playing multiple sounds files at once, but thats not the problem. I wonder how I can play a sound sample from an offset when a click interrupt is generated.
Which AS3 class should I look at? Any other tips are appreciated.
You can use Sound.play() supplying the offset in milliseconds. You should first calculate the offset by measuring mouse position vs the progress bar, then stop the sound if it's playing, then call theSound.play(yourOffset) and you should be set.
I'm having trouble with sound in Flash. I may have went about coding the wrong way, because most of my codes are on frames.
So, I have these two variables
var outsideDay:Sound = new daysong();
var outsideNight:Sound = new nightsong();
And I want to play these songs on a specific frame. However, the sounds play sporadically, like 50 times at once. I think it's because I have other codes that link to the frames with a Enter_Frame function. How can I get the sounds to loop and not play multiple times at once?
Have you dropped the sound anywhere on the timeline in any frame? If so remove that frame.
Also, if you have your code declared on a keyframe that does not have a stop(); call on it, likely it is hitting that frame over and over again, when it "enters" it. Try adding stop(); either at the beginning of your code or at an ending key-frame, wherever it makes most sense for your project.
After trying those two things, another method I have learned to love that may come in handy is:
flash.media.SoundMixer.stopAll();
This will stop all sounds so that whatever sounds you start to play after making this call will not have other previously started sounds to contend with.
This sound tutorial may also be of use to you.
Let us know how it goes, or if any of this stuff helped.
