hello all, i was just wondering how to control the volume of a sound clip while playing it through catalyst? do you use the "layer vol etc"n if so, im guessing you assign it too the same dmx address as the layer playing the file?

Help is appreciated.

thanks.

No you patch a single unique DMX channel to control the volume of your layer.
Add volume control the same way you would add a layer.

When playing back, make sure you use one of the "Audio" playback modes on your Layer.

Hope this helps. :)

that makes sense, thank you.

what do i patch into my console? should i just use say a generic dimmer channel or something along that line?

Yes a Generic Desk Channel will do.....if you are on H3 console there are profiles for the volume as well in the Catalyst manufacturer folder.

Hope this helps. :)
