Playing Multiple WAV files

Postby NW27 » 29 Feb 2012

Hi,

I have multiple indicators and Signals applied to my chart and some of them play short WAV files.
If multiple indicators/signals want to play a WAV file at the same time, it would appear that only ONE gets through and played. The rest get ignored.
How can I fix this? I don't expect them to get mixed together in the audio sense but maybe qued, so that one plays after the other.

Neil.

I have multiple sounds from different indicators and the only way
to get them to all go off at the same time is to run multiple instances and apply wav files to each instance.
Would be great if multiple sound wav could get qued on one instance.

Hi,

What do you mean by multiple instances?
Multiple copies of the program?

Yes correct.
Open multiple copies of MC and apply an
indicator with wav file to each copy.
Keep the copies simple, just apply the indicator needed for sound and then minimize
the copy.
You can still keep all the indicators on main version of MC with sound turned off just for any visual as the sound alerts will go off on the copies.
I run eight copies at a time , multiple charts each, without any problems.

Yes, it would be nice to have the possibility of having multiple .wav files played at the same time like the alerts() themselves do.

Having multiple instances of MC is not always feasible. I have around 20 alerts. Having 20 MC's opened? I don't think so.

Please vote here http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue ... _no=MC-834


Added another feature request :
Windows 7 Sound Recorder only creates WMA files not WAV files. So the request is to allow Multicharts to also play WMA.
Please vote here. https://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissu ... _no=MC-835
