added a section on <BaseTrack2> because it doesn't seem to have been covered anywhere on the wiki; moved the section explaining the .aif suffix to the top level

When you are replacing existing Oni sounds, note that all of Oni's SNDD resources possess a ".aif" suffix as part of their <u>actual resource names</u> (yes, even the WAV-encoded sounds in Windows Oni). So if you import them with a name like "SNDDgears.aif", the file suffix gets changed to ".oni" upon import by OniSplit, and you end up with a resource simply titled "SNDDgears" in-game. Oni will look for a sound titled "SNDDgears.aif", and nothing will play.

==BaseTrack2== | |||
You can also place a sound in the OSBD.amb's <BaseTrack2> and it will play in parallel with <BaseTrack1>. This allows you to play one music track continuously over another. An example of this is OSBDmus_xtr2, which is invoked in both the Shinatama farewell scene and the conclusion of the Dream Driver monologue. Its use of <BaseTrack1> and <BaseTrack2> leads to the high string note SNDDmus_xtr2hi.aif playing continuously over the melody in SNDDmus_xtr2_[1-6].aif. | |||
The benefit of this live-mix approach is that you can use one of these tracks in isolation in other places, or in combination with another track; for instance, OSBDmus_choral1 calls for SNDDmus_xtr2_[1-6].aif to be mixed with SNDDmus_choral1.aif (except that this mus_choral1 piece doesn't exist and the OSBD is never called…). | |||
Note that when combining music tracks, both tracks have to share the same <InSound> and <OutSound>. Thus, SNDDmus_xtr2endmx.aif was created to end the mix of SNDDmus_xtr2hi.aif and SNDDmus_xtr2_[1-6].aif, as opposed to SNDDmus_xtr2_end.aif which provides an end for only SNDDmus_xtr2_[1-6].aif when playing on its own. | |||
Another use of <BaseTrack2> is ambient environmental sound; an example is found in Musashi Manufacturing Plant, where OSBDMP_ovalthings is used to play SNDDtransroom1lp2.aif on top of SNDDac3lp[1-3].aif when you get close to each of the eight oval things in the, uh, room with the oval things. | |||
BaseTrack2 is even used in OSBDbarab_recharge to beef up Barabas' recharging effect by playing his recharge sound twice at the same time. | |||
