I want stereo!

sslivka

Hi guys! Is it possible to control the balance in SoundChannel? Such as SoundTransform().pan() in Flash?

Hello @sslivka
I think not possible right now, probably only if you create separate channels and launch them simultaneously.

@ar2rsawseen "only if you create separate channels and launch them simultaneously." - But it is not stereo effect!

@sslivka It's not possible currently. I've been asking for it for ages now and keep on getting told that it's not something that OpenAL natively supports which, whilst technical true in that it in fact supports 3D positioning, is still a fudge of a response and should have been implemented long ago so we could pan mono sounds.

add me to the list.
true that openal has x,y,z for listener and sound objects, but if that's not on the horizon soon, then at least:
mono sounds -> need pan
stereo sounds -> need balance (basically separate gain values for channels 1 and 2)

It take it stereo control of a sound is still not possible?

I intend to check in on this every eight months, you hear!, until I get an answer.
