Once I use audio.reserveChannels( 4 ) to set aside the first 4 channels for my music, how do I specify which channels use the reserved channels? Is it the first four sounds I play after calling the function?
If nothing else, do you guys know where I can find a detailed sound channel control tutorial?
Hi @blakeleftwich,
Once you reserve channels, Corona will not use those channels unless you specify in code that an audio file should play on one of those channels. Typically, you want to reserve a few channels so you can very carefully control them, i.e. play music on channel 1 and only play music there (plus control its volume, fade the channel, etc.).
Have you reviewed the audio guide? It may answer some of your questions:
