Sound Upload For gestures

[rockerX0X0X]

if Anyone on here creates gestures what volume level should i make the sound gestures so they can be herd over music at the clubs like normal gestures can be herd or do you edit volume levels in sl

Uh, putting this scientifically? Guess.

Everyone uses different speakers/headphones, has their volume sliders set differently and since sound is presented in a 3D space, it'll be at different volumes the further someone is away from you. You'll never figure out a 'best' volume for everyone (especially since some people hate ANY gestures with sound).

Saying this though, try to ensure it's a good volume for you. Or reset your sliders to the default, and see how audible it is. That should give you some metrics for measurement.

Additionally, you can't edit a sound files volume after it's been uploaded.

reason i ask i s cause my gesture that i created on my comp when played on my comp you can hear em fine but when i upload them you cna barely even hear it like if liden labs lowerd the volume of my wave file

Gesture sounds are played from your avatar. So the more zoomed in you are, the louder they'll be. Also of course the 'Ambient Volume' is often less than 100% by default. Check your settings and how close you are to your avatar when testing.

And remember that those are likely the same for other people, except they'll be hearing the gesture from a different source.

you better off having them loud when you record them , and then you can edit them later, if you have them only on half volume, by the time you port it into SL it will be useless and no one ) not even you) will be able to hear it. when you record it, use a good quality mike
