Difference between Music and Music?

[Radicool]

What is the difference between the two actions:

• Sound - Set music volume to 100.00%

The "Set Music volume to x%" action

• Sound - Set Music to 100.00%

The set "Volume channel (music volume channel) to x%" action

Could the first action change the players audio setting within the menu to x% while the volume channel is an editor only changeable feature?

Nope, both are in-game functions. The difference lies in that the first action sets the volume to all players, regardless to what music is set. So every music played's volume will be x% , while in the second one you may play set a volume of certain music to 100% excluding other music, which also gives benefit of balancing Sound and Music and reduce music's noise ...Etc

while in the second one you may play set a volume of certain music to 100% excluding other music,

So, in other words, it only affects the currently playing music?

 

[jonhysone]

They affect non-played music too, since you want certain music's volume I.E 50% from map initialization

Long story short, first action affects all music ( non played and played )
Second one just affects certain music ( only you choose from the list )

The first one is designed to be used during important voiced dialog so you do not have the in-game music competing with the talking.

The second one is designed to be used for cinematic where you know what song is playing and want to emphasise it (such as a dramatic death scene).

I think the first one references Sound Editor Music variables.

The first one handles a single music while the second one handles all musics playing. It might be weird to have multiple musics playing at the same time.

Ok thanks for the responses guys.

Don't you mean the other way around? Whatever. Doesn't matter since everything has been said.
