TracksBoard.ItemSpeakerSet method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Modifies the speaker assigned to the given item. The current speaker can be obtained through the TracksBoard.ItemSpeakerGet method.

 

TracksBoard sessions can manage up to 4 stereo speakers or 8 mono speakers; by default sessions are created with a two speakers configuration (Front speakers) and this can be changed through the TracksBoard.SpeakersNumSet method: if a speaker not managed by the session is assigned to an item, for example if you assign "Rear speakers" when the session is configured for  "Front speakers" only, the item will not be played and will not be exported into the final mix but will be in any case visible on the board.

 

For details about the use of the TracksBoard refer to the How to use the TracksBoard to visually compose songs tutorial.

For further details about methods of the TracksBoard refer to the TracksBoard object section.
