Unable to lower audio on a track
Ok I'm posting this in a new thread because the old one didn't have much success (http://steamcommunity.com/app/1840/discussions/0/648814841568193061/)...

I want to lower the volume of the whole game sounds track, so I double click on the shot, right click on the game sounds track, set volume, I enter 0.5, and done. But nothing changes, the game sounds are still as loud as they were before that... Even when I enter 0, the volume doesn't change a bit.
The only way I could find to change a track volume is to mute it with the 'Mute track' toggle. But I don't want to mute it anyway.

Any ideas ? :/

(P.S. : Is there a way I can change the volume of something on all the shots at once ? Because I think there's a way for this, instead of doing 'Double click on shot 1, right click on element, set volume, double click on shot 2, right click on element, set volume, double click on shot 3.......')

Right-clicking on game sounds and setting the volume from there works for me... If you've recorded more than one take, you have to make sure to do it for all of them. If you scroll down you should see the other takes unexpanded at the bottom.

You can also right-click the shot > utilities > mute sounds and copy to sequence. That will put them all in the same track at the bottom of the timeline. It's a generally bad idea to record game sounds though, it can get really messy, not fit for a movie.

Thank you very much for your answer, I'll check again I've done everything properly, and also try your bad idea, as soon as possible. Thank you again !

Ok so... I'm a drag. c:
I just mingled takes and shots.
What I was doing until now was actually :
- double-click on 'shot1'
- expand what I thought it was 'shot1' but actually was 'take1'
- set volume to 0.5
- done.

In my head, takes and shots just meant the same and I noticed it while re-reading your answer and then I was like 'NO'. xD
I think the fact that there are as many takes as shots in my project fooled me. ^^"
Thank you again R234 for highlighting my mistake, I just feel like a bit ashamed now. x')

Now I have some little questions :
- when you set the volume of one take in a shot, does it set its volume in the other shots ?
- is there a way to set the volume of the 'Game sounds' track, in all the takes, at once ?

For anyone still struggling to lower only the game volume: right click the film track (the thing that says your project name and holds all your shots) -> select Show in Element Viewer -> on the left of your screen, under Tree, find the word volume; directly to the right is the value of game volume. By default it is 1.:cupup:
