Can't resume the racial music after the cinematic

I'm kinda noob in editing stuff. The only thing i'm not finding in tutorials is a way to use music in cinematics properly.

I just import a music and then use "Sound-Clear the music list" then "Sound- Stop music inmediatily" "Sound-Play Sadmystery theme" everything is ok here. But after the cinematic ends I still hear the "sad mystery" music and if I put the "stop sound" and "clear music" then there's 0 music . So how can I resume the "normal music" like it was before the cinematic when it ends? (without reseting it completely) thanks beforehand.

For example, I'm playing orcs with normal orc soundtrack, then I want a music change when a cinematic starts, but after it ends I want the normal orc soundtrack back at the same timing it was before the cinematic (like the campaign)

You can open up the campaign files and see how they triggered it, which is probably what you should do. As a quick workaround though you could simply change the sad music sound volume to 0% for the duration of the cinematic but keep it playing in the background the whole time.
  • Sound - Set volume of SadMusic to 0%
  • Sound - Play CinematicMusic
  • Wait DurationOfCinematic game-time seconds
  • Sound - Stop CinematicMusic
  • Sound - Set volume of SadMusic to 100%

Lol I'm stupid as hell I just needed to put "play music theme" instead of play music. Thanks for the checking campaign triggers tip lol.

Now I don't understand why my imported musics volume is so low ingame (in the editor they sound fine and at the same volume of normal musics)

When you import a song, you'll want to check a couple of things:
  • Make sure it is not a 3D sound, or else it will only play at max volume when your camera source is near the sound's position.
  • A lot of people will import the sound using the sound editor, and play it as a sound, not music. Keep in mind that sound and music have separate sliders in the options menu!
  • Sometimes it has to do with volume-groups, but usually that won't be an issue unless you delve into the JASS side of things.
