[The Man]

I'll explain my problem briefly. I have 3 musics for the first scenes of my game. These 3 musics are supposed to play simultaneously in the following way:
1- GDTheme: this is the main theme, with its volume always set to 100;
2- oldpiano: when entering a certain scene, I set this music's volume to 100. When leaving from the scene, I set it to 0;
3- Guitar: when entering a certain scene, I set this music's volume to 100. When leaving from the scene, I set it to 0;

In order to do this, the tracks must be completely synchronized, but I noticed they aren't... while if I test them on other programs, they do. In the first scene I have this code which starts all the tracks:

Code: [Select]

  Game.PlayMusicChannel(2, "audio\GDguitar.ogg", true);
  Game.PlayMusicChannel(3, "audio\oldpiano.ogg", true);
  Game.PlayMusicChannel(4, "audio\GreendartTheme.ogg", true);
  Game.SetMusicChannelVolume(2, 0);
  Game.SetMusicChannelVolume(3, 0);
  Game.SetMusicChannelVolume(4, 95);
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is it a bug?

maybe  I am being stupid and have missed something, would it not be safer to mix the music outside of WME and play the appropriate mix accordingly - there is always the possiblity of system lags caused by external events which I would have thought make the "real-time " mixing of tracks risky

[The Man]

The idea is that every scene should ADD SOMETHING to the music. When you enter to a scene there's a street guitarist who's playing a song which should play ONLY in that scene, for example. The problem is that if the guitarist music is not synchronized it will sound bad.

I'm afraid WME cannot guarantee synchronized music channels (for the reasons stated by eborr). There is a plugin by Spellbreaker which tries to rectify the problem.

Allright... I just wanted to be sure I wasn't doing something wrong!
Thanks to both of you for the answers!

Yes the Plugin works fine, if you have any question, you can contact me.
