Some Sound Clips Are Too Quiet

#1 Post by Dollarluigi » Wed Jul 17, 2019 6:37 pm

Is there a way to turn up the volume of a sound clip through Ren'py? Most of my sound effects work just fine for one of my projects but for some reason, I don't hear some of them when I test my VN.

Sound clip?

Code: Select all

label start:
    play music "horror.mp3"
    $ renpy.music.set_volume (0.2)
    "I'm getting closer to the room."
    $ renpy.music.set_volume (0.5)
    "I practically open the door."
    $ renpy.music.set_volume (1.0)
    "I'm in the room."
?

Code: Select all

play sound "sound-effect.wav"
Something like this.

Have you used some audio editing software like Audacity to normalize your sound files volumes? I'd recommend doing that first.
A Close Shave:
*Last Thing Done (Aug 17): Finished coding emotions and camera for 4/10 main labels.
*Currently Doing: Coding of emotions and camera for the labels--On 5/10
*First Next thing to do: Code in all CG and special animation stuff
*Next Next thing to do: Set up film animation
*Other Thing to Do: Do SFX and Score (maybe think about eye blinks?)

I went back and increased their volume with Audacity and that seemed to work.
