Hi all, I’m having trouble controlling the wetness of sfx via snapshots. All other parameters are behaving as I would expect them to but the wet values aren’t playing ball
as far as I understand, the yellow dot on these parameters indicates the snapshot’s target value, but I can’t get the target to change for these wet parameters.
Again, not having any trouble with other parameters… so any idea what I might be doing wrong?
I’ve attempted to reproduce this issue, but have had no luck; as far as I can tell, snapshots are as effective at adjusting wet level properties as they are other properties.
There may be some specific detail of your project that I’m missing. Are you able to describe in more detail what your settings are, what effect you expect them to have, and how that differs from the effect you’re seeing?
To clear up a possible source of confusion, the orange dot does not represent the target value does not represent the target property value of the snapshot. Rather, it represents the final value of the property after all currently-playing snapshot instances have been applied.
To view the target value of a property scoped into a snapshot, select the snapshot in the snapshots browser. The value to which the dial or number box is set represents the value to which an snapshot would set the property were the snapshot’s intensity 100% (or, if it’s a volume property and a blending snapshot rather than an overriding snapshot, the amount of adjustment that would be added to the property’s value were the snapshot’s intensity 100%). For example, in your screenshot, the Wet Level property of the Reverb effect is scoped into the snapshot, and the value for that property specified in the snapshot is -4.5 dB. If it’s an overriding snapshot, that means that playing an instance of the snapshot at 100% intensity would set the property value to -4.5 dB; and if it’s a blending snapshot, that playing an instance of the snapshot at 100% intensity would reduce the property’s value by 4.5 dB.
Thank you for you detailed reply and it was actually a blending snapshot!
I thought I had changed this to an overriding snapshot but perhaps then forgot to save…
Anyway, 10/10 solved and thank you!
