How To Add A Secondary Audio Channel

Secondary audio channel for seamless audio loops

For atmospheric background sounds, you need seamless playback / looping, without a click or a silence when the loop restarts. Secondary Audio Channel was made exactly for that.

If your files are seamless atmospheric files, like fire crackling, wind blowing, stream running, rain sounds - you should assign them to the secondary audio channel.

Any files added to the secondary audio channel will loop on top of your primary audio files, seamlessly
