LoadSoundFromRawFile method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Loads a sound from a file in RAW format.

You can manage how loaded sound will be added to the existing editing session through a previous call to the SetLoadingMode method.

You can limit the range of sound data that will be loaded from the given sound file with a previous call to the SetLoadingRange method.

 

Multi-channel formats are supported natively when the MultiChannelLoadingModeSet method has been invoked with the nMode parameter set to MULTICHAN_DOWNMIX_NONE while in other cases will be converted to stereo during the loading procedure.

 

In case you should need loading a specific single channel of the raw audio file, use the LoadSoundChannelFromRawFile method.

A successful call to this method will fire the SoundLoadingStarted event followed by a number of SoundLoadingPerc events and finally by the SoundLoadingDone event.
