Hi,

a while back somewhere i remember reading a guy saying he would like to have different record sounds as it started to get a bit repeatative and i can see what he means but my plan is :

- change the record pop to a record droping on to a table and the arm coming across (just what i am used to hearing) (never seen a real old jukebox) and having the record pop for maybe playing through the tune.

is there a way to make the sound played through the tune different to the one at the beging of it ?

i had a look but there doesn't seem to be much coverage of sound effect options in the read me unless im missing something

thanks

Hi. I think this is what you mean
In the skin file use "MSG_INTERSONG=*****.WAV" and set song delay in jukebox.ini to the same time as your mechanical sound and use "MSG_SONGSTART=RECPOP.WAV" for the sound you want to play through the song. I have a sound that might be what your looking for I can send to you if needed.

blicky:
Sorry, I should have tried it first (never used the MSG_SONGSTART= before).
It does work but does not play over and over. You could use a wave editor to make a file that goes for longer perhaps - not sure if there is a limit on sound effect length though - I might try it and see what happens.

O.K. just tried it. Found two problems: firstly having large sound effect files causes a long delay on startup while the skins are loaded. Secondly, once the "MSG_SONGSTART=" sound starts playing it doesn't stop when the song ends (i.e. if the currently playing song is cancelled)

david656:
hey first off thanks for your interest in looking into this one !

so basically you are saying you can set it to play a sound in between tracks which is the arm moving...
and a sound at the begining of a track which is the arm dropping onto the record ?

thanks

btw i PMed you about the sound

Chris:
There really isn't a ton of sound effect options because I never really envisioned using them for much more than error beeps and coin drops and such.  The presong/postsong delays were created just to support sound effects, though. 

I can add an option to make a sound effect repeat, but really do you want record pops all throughout a song?
