How to play several audio files simultaneously through audiodevout?

Beginners

Hi, I am doing a project where I want to add another soundtrack to the currently played one depending on a user input.
For now, all I can do is to switch different soundtracks (using the switch CHOP) depending on the input, but I would like to have more than one soundtrack playing. How could I do that?
Thanks!

The most basic way is to add the audio CHOPs together with a Math CHOP. I’m sure there are other more sophisticated ways of mixing audio ( that perhaps there is a VST for?) but at its most basic mixed audio signals I believe is actually just adding them together.

Owen Kirby is very expert at all things audio in TD so have a look at this for more about summing audio:

Simple summing with math TOP definitely works.

Great! Thanks a lot! I’ll try that

Adding signals together is ok, but to deal with sums going over 1, use an Audio Dynamics CHOP after all your adding.

Or Bileam sometimes just averages left and right audio channel instead of sum them. I should have mentioned that. Or you can sum then normalize.

Hey, how did you actually solved it? I just want to be able to press a key on my keyboard and activate a sound until I press the key again, and do that with different sounds allowing them to sound together. I’m a beginner at TD and I’m not so sure about how it could be done. Thank you so much in advance c:
