I never really understood the way sound playback was done in a language such as Blitz, with the whole separate sounds and channels thing. Is there a limit on the number of channels you can have open? Should I open a new channel each time I play a sound? Reuse a certain number of channels? Reserve one channel per sound effect? If anyone knows of any tutorials or has a code sample handy that uses more than one sound, that would be a big help  Thanks! -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

I tend to ignore channels until necessary. For 99% of usage, Playsound MySound does just fine. For music, you'll want to stuff that into a channel.. BGMusic=PlayMusic("MyMod.mod"), that way you can control the volume, and pause/restart/change the music when necessary, by using the Channel commands, but in most cases, Blitz just pretty much deals with it, for you. As far as I can tell, there's no limit.. But.. You know.. Probably best not to attempt to play 17,000 sounds in a single frame, just incase! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I think it's starting to make slightly more sense... It seems that I can just have a separate channel variable for each sound, and not have to care much about what happens to them, so I assume stuff gets done behind-the-scenes. The worst thing is, after staring at the word "sound" for so long, it doesn't even look like a real word anymore! -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

Hehe, I hate when that happens! But, yeah, just ignore the channels unless you really need to. Like I said, you needn't even bother assigning channels in most cases. Rather than Chan=PlaySound(MySound), just ignore it and PlaySound MySound, instead. (As you would DrawImage, or Text, or whatever else) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
