Re: Reaper indoctrination sound from the Mass Effect series

Re: Audio Content Requests

I think that it's a more sci-fi version of the classic more organic sound of the alarm sound of the Tripods in the "War Of The Worlds" movie.

Re: Audio Content Requests

I currently use it as one shot sounds, but would use it as a drone too in my horror campaigns to instill a sense of urgency. This is a classic, I think Antonis will have a blast recreating this one! It's a nice idea to be able to use those kinds of sounds in drones. Are you thinking of this sound b...

To answer your question: - Open Control Center (swipe from right corner) - Long Press the music player - select the Airplay Icon - Choose your...

Re: Air play on iOS

I will uninstall one of my pods and move it to another room and see if I can pair up to just it I've never tested that workflow. Unfortunately, you're the first to register in our new forums, so there are no other people with so many Apple devices here to test things together. On the good side, you...

Re: Air play on iOS

Interesting question...

I don't have any extra devices to test this

From the top of my head, I have a question about this, How does iOS handle multiple devices on AirPlay?

I mean, do they offer a menu to select and/or mix the receivers?
