I am going to show you how to put music and sound into your episode stories. Music and Sound both play an important part of any story as music can set the mood for a scene; and sound tell you what is either going to happen, what a character is saying our what is happening in a scene we with or without music.

How to place music into your story:

Placing music in your story is very simple. In your story script you're going to type the word music and then click the spacebar. You have two options you can do after that. You can either type in the word music and see a list like this:

OR

You so under the sound option on the right hand side. Click the Sounds arrow and you will see a variety of different sounds. Music is in here as well under three categories. The three categories you can find music under are ext_ , int_, and music. In the example picture below you will see we are under ext_ for music.

Once you have selected the music piece you feel that best suits your story (ext, int, or music) your going to click or type out the one you want beside the word music. Now that scene has music!

How to Adjust your music volume in your story:

How to adjust your volume for your music in your episode story is simple.

Set the volume of your music or sound (in this case use the word music) by using the volume sound command, Then the volume level (0-100) and finally the length of time (in milliseconds) you want the volume setting to be.

So the original code before you add the numbers would be this:

volume music X S

Example with an input of numbers:

volume music 0 4000

The above command will bring sound volume to 0 over the span of 4000 milliseconds (4 seconds), making the music appear to slowly fade out.

If you want the music or sound volume to change immediately rather than a gradual transition, put 0 where you put the number of milliseconds.

Example:

volume music 90 0

The above command will bring music volume to 90 immediately.

How To Turn Off Music:

How to turn off music for a scene is really easy. On a blank line in your story script your going to type the word music, then click the spacebar, and then type the word off, then click the enter key. So what you just typed should look like this:

Now your music will be off from that point on.

How To Use Sound In Your Story:

How to apply sound in your story is very similar to adding music into your story. Type the word sound, click the spacebar, then go over to the sound option on your right hand side (see the music example above) and choose the sound that would best match your scene; or you can type in the sound from the sound list (you can find on the right hand side of your story script under sound) and type the sound that would match best.

In this case I’m going to do a vase breaking. This would be the input:

How to set the volume of your sound effect:

To set the volume of your sound effect is very similar (almost) the same coding as you did for the music. The only difference is your changing the word music with sound.

So again set the volume of your music or sound by using the volume sound command Then the volume level (0-100) and finally the length of time (in milliseconds) you want the volume setting to be.

It would look like this:

volume sound X S

X = volume level, 0 to 100

S = length of time, in milliseconds

Here is an example that I have used before in my episode stories:

volume sound 50 4000

The above command will bring sound volume to 20% over the span of 4000 milliseconds (4 seconds).

How to turn off your sound:

How to turn off your sound is just like how you would for your music. Just type the word sound, click the spacebar, then type the word off. So it would look like this sound off . I find you really only have to use this one is if your using a looping sound effect.
