    @ralph petition to remove the 6-second sound cap on sound files. For example, it is possible to have a sound more than 6 seconds that is also less than 256kb in size, such as an army charge sound that lasts about 9 seconds. Or a long miscellaneous radio communication sound. Or just other longer sounds in general. Also, petition to make sound volume more than 100%. To prevent earr*pe, create a capacity to how loud the sound can be that’s better than 100%. But don’t make it a capash_tty by making it 101%, maybe just something like 400%.

    (Why is there even a limit to sound length in the first place? There’s a limit to the file size, which the app tells the user about, but the app never tells the user about the 6-second independent sound-length block. If you have a 9-second sound, it will stop about 3-seconds early)

    • pretty sure the length will also affect the memory usage of the app

      I didn’t “add” it, it’s a limit either by the device itself or LibGDX (the framework of the sound I use)

      because sounds and music are 2 different types of “sound” as far as these devices are concerned

      one is loaded into memory permanently (sound) others are streamed piece by piece into memory (music)

      so long sound files are basically music in disguise and as a result they get nope’d

        Oh, sorry about that. So basically it has been decided that any sound longer than 6 seconds is music. I did manage to find a way around the limit though, yay movieclips (6 second chunk + 4 second chunk = 10 second sound effect that can be imported via movieclip)
