SoundComposer.ItemDurationGet method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Obtains the duration of the audio stream that will reproduce the item. For noises, wave tones and sliding wave tones, the duration can be modified through the SoundComposer.ItemDurationSet method.

 

For sound file items, added through one between the SoundComposer.ItemSoundFileAdd, SoundComposer.ItemSoundFileMemoryAdd, SoundComposer.ItemSoundFileRawAdd and SoundComposer.ItemSoundFileMemoryRawAdd methods, this method will always return the original duration of the sound file without keeping count of eventual modifications performed through the SoundComposer.ItemSoundFileLoadRangeSet or SoundComposer.ItemSoundFileDurationStretch methods: for these specific changes you could know the modified duration through the SoundComposer.ItemSoundFileDurationGet.
