TracksBoard.ItemVolumePointAdd method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Predisposes a new volume point on the requested position of the given sound item: the new volume point is not immediately applied so, in order to be effective, new volume points need to be applied through a later call to the TracksBoard.ItemVolumePointsApply method.

 

Existing volume points can be removed at any time through the TracksBoard.ItemVolumePointRemove method.

 

This method is disabled and returns an error if the sound duration has been stretched through the TracksBoard.ItemDurationStretch method.

 

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 class section.

 

 

Syntax

 

[Visual Basic]

control.TracksBoard.ItemVolumePointAdd (

nUniqueId as Long,

nPositionMs as Long,

fAmplitude as Single,

strFriendlyName as String

) as enumErrorCodes


 

[C++]

short control.TracksBoard.ItemVolumePointAdd (

long nUniqueId,

long nPositionMs,

float fAmplitude,

LPCTSTR strFriendlyName

);


 

Parameter

Description

 

 

nUniqueId

Unique identification number assigned to the sound item after being generated by one of the following methods:

TracksBoard.ItemClone when an existing item has been cloned

nPositionMs

Position of the new volume point, expressed in milliseconds, respect to the beginning of the original sound: this position must be within the loaded range set through the nStartPositionMs and nEndPositionMs parameters of the TracksBoard.ItemSoundFileAdd and TracksBoard.ItemSoundFileLoadRangeSet methods or an error would be reported.

This value can be modified at a later time through the TracksBoard.ItemVolumePointPositionSet method or, on the TracksBoard user interface, through mouse interaction.

fAmplitude

Amplitude of the volume point.

Can be a number within the range 0.0 - 2.0; values outside this range will be automatically cut to the nearest accepted value.

- value 0.0 mutes the sound

- values higher than 0.0 and lower than 1.0 attenuate the sound volume

- value 1.0 sets the sound at full volume

- values higher than 1.0 up to 2.0 amplify the sound volume

 

Setting this value to -1 allows inheriting the same amplitude of the previous volume point.

 

This value can be modified at a later time through the TracksBoard.ItemVolumePointAmplitudeSet method or, on the TracksBoard user interface, through mouse interaction.

strFriendlyName

String containing the friendly name of the volume point.

This friendly name can be modified at a later time through the TracksBoard.ItemVolumePointFriendlyNameSet method
