if i set a sound to .5 volume:

soundvolume somesound,.5

and then i do

chan=playsound somesound
channelvolume chan,.8

it will effectively play somesound at 80% of .5

is that right?

you can't always tell when you are listening

I'm pretty sure that's how it works but then again at lower volumes it's pretty hard to tell.

hmm i am thinking now that it does not work that way. i set a sound to volume 0, emitted it and then changed the channelvolume to .7 and it was there, pretty loud too.

that's disappointing, because if i want to set the volume of my samples i either have to keep track of their settings and then multiply it by that to get the volume of that channel, or make them the right volume in the sample editor, which makes it less flexible.
