ya i know that , imagine if you could play 3 or more music files at a time?
you could have 1 song with 3 variations
example,
have 1 song split into 3 tracks track 1, violin track 2 drums, track 3 other
play all 3 channels at one time, but have channel 2 and 3 off or volume at zero
out of battle, you hear a violin plaing : play song channel 1
going into battle while channel 1 is still plaing, play channel 2,
this will add dynamic audio to your game, a good example of this is in super mario world, when you get on and off yoshi
when you are on him drums play with the song, when you get off him the song plays without the drums
this is just 1 potential feature that could be possible with multiple audio channels ( for play music )
