Question:

How do I add Sound FX (soundfx) to SAM?

Answer:

The Sound FX window allows you to instantly play various sound effects or jingles over the current broadcast.

Sound FX display

  1. Sound FX category list dropdown
  2. Previous page
  3. Current Page counter
  4. Next page
  5. Effect buttons 1 through 9
  6. Emergancy stop button
  7. Volume slider 

Sound FX control

The first step to complete before using Sound FX is to load the sound effect tracks. To do this, open the Playlist window and browse to: Special -> Sweepers -> Sound FX category.

You can create your own custom categories under this parent category or simply add your effects to the already existing category called Sound FX (All)

Once done, return to the Sound FX window and click the Category dropdown to select the sound effects category you want loaded inside the window.

You should see the effect buttons 1 to 9 become active as the effects load into them.

Now you can instantly play an effect by pressing the appropriate button.

Most effects are short and should play to the end, but if you for some reason instantly want to stop an effect, press the Emergancy stop button.

The volume slider allows you to set the volume at which effects are played. Make sure the volume is loud enough that effects can clearly be heard above the currently playing sound.
