Playlists would be nice, but not entirely sure how often I would use them. </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/simplify-adding-files-to-a-soundscape#post-78 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:37:03 +0000 DrVesuvius 78@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Can do, of course. But Softrope offers a much cleaner interface for switching between playlists without intruding on the game than most generic media players. When GMing I&#39;d rather only have one app to manage sound rather than flicking between multiple windows. Our TOD GM uses iTunes and he always fumbles a bit when switching.</p> <p>The other RPG sound apps I use (RPG Deck and RPG-SoundMixer) both integrate music &amp; sfx playback and they&#39;re what I&#39;m looking to replace with Softrope. </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/simplify-adding-files-to-a-soundscape#post-76 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:42:40 +0000 metaDM 76@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Why not just use WinAmp, ITunes, WindowsMediaPlayer to manage large music libraries. I tend to play music through playlists in WMP and run my sound effects program at same time. </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/simplify-adding-files-to-a-soundscape#post-75 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:59:32 +0000 DrVesuvius 75@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Seconded.</p> <p>I get the impression that Softrope was originally designed mainly with sound effects in mind, in which case adding SFX files individually isn&#39;t unreasonable. But if you want to use it for playing random background music, you want as large a number of different tracks to choose from as possible (our Tour Of Darkness GM has a couple of hundred Vietnam-era pop songs, for example)</p> <p>Any method of being able to add multiple files to scene at once would be a big help, but the ability to import an externally generated playlist file would be ideal.</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Dr V </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/simplify-adding-files-to-a-soundscape#post-51 Fri, 01 Jan 2010 03:32:32 +0000 snuh 51@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Howdy,</p> <p>so far I am in love with Softrope. Nice design, easy to use in most regards, and does exactly what I want out of an RPG sound mixer - no more, no less. There&#39;s one exception: adding files to a soundscape. I don&#39;t know how other people organize and build their soundscapes, but I do it in a media player (iTunes, MediaMonkey) and create a playlist first. Then I go into Softrope and recreate the playlist. This is kind of a pain if there are a decent number of tracks in the soundscape.</p> <p>Example: I&#39;ve got my music well-tagged in MediaMonkey, so for the upcoming battle in Horned Helm I pulled up a filtered playlist of all tracks that were tagged &quot;Music&quot;, &quot;Dungeon&quot;, and had 3+ stars. I filter out some of the ones tagged as &quot;Dramatic&quot; - this is an important series of encounters, but nothing epic. Likewise, I remove the ones tagged &quot;Eerie&quot; - not really the vibe I want for a duergar fort. Repeat this process for my ambient sound effects: &quot;Environment&quot;, &quot;Dungeon&quot;, 3+ Stars. Both of these pulled up a fair number of tracks, and it&#39;s a drag to add them one at a time to a Softrope scene.</p> <p>I would love to be able to import a playlist, or drag-and-drop multiple files. Or at the very least, be able to select multiple files at once.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> snuh </p>
