[2.1.8] Loading music plays over title music

[nighthawk2400]

This is a super minor issue, but if you have no mods enabled (just Base mod) then the game loads quickly enough that the loading music/sound is still playing when the title music starts and they play over top of each other.

Ideally either the title music would interrupt the loading music, or it would be delayed until the loading music is finished. The title music is really good, it would be nice not to have the start of it ruined.

Thanks for the report however this is not a bug.

This is not what sound engineers intended for user to hear, nor what a user expects to hear (hence the report), so this is a bug.

This is not a bug on purely technical part of the road (you tell engine to play a stream - it doesn't crash, and mixes it properly), but the whole path from the intention to what_happens is not covered by just that. The solution would be simply putting loading intro on the same channel as background music with proper crossfade.

I'm curious on how this works inside, i know you can "mod" the title music but not the loading one, the title music requiring being "loaded as prototype", so i thought there must be 2 different moment when the music is loaded, and what does "loaded" means in this context ? i think you can either register the audio file on the disk for the program, like the background music, or decode it and store it in RAM/Audio buffer, more like UI sound. I don't know if it's relevant, i felt like the loading music was apart from the rest but obviously i don't have much informations
