I have a AHDSR on en event and I want to to fade out when stopped, but it seems to instantly stop (or fade very fast). All the AHSDR value are 1 sec, but I increased them to the 10sec as a test and no change. I am I doing something wrong? The AHSDR is attached to a multi-instrument in the event, if that matters
I call calling this in my code to stop the event:
`FMOD_Studio_EventInstance_Stop(instance, FMOD_STUDIO_STOP_ALLOWFADEOUT);`
I am using FMOD 2.03.

I think I solved this. Musician had put an additional AHSDR on the event and it was messing things up. I removed them and put them on the master track. all works well, now.
