For Quest: Is there a way to create a pause between pages?

Question

I'm using Quest and I know very little about coding.

Is there a way to create a small pause between pages? I have a sound playing through the beginning pages, and when it transitions to silence because of how quick it is, it sounds really awkward.

Comments

I'm slightly confused - please bear with me. "when it transitions to silence because of how quick it is..." Because of how quick what is? Is the sound too quick? If so, then adding a pause between pages won't help. I think I'm missing the real thing you're asking.

Yes! The transition of there being sound to silence is too sudden. I apologize for being confusing! Ah well do you know of a way I could possibly fix this problem if creating a pause between pages won't help?

---

Are you saying that the sound gets cut off when you turn the page? If not, what is causing the sound to go silent?

---

If you add a pause between pages, it will just delay the cut off, unless you put in a pause that's long enough that you know the sound will have ended completely. I don't know of a way to, say, have the sound fade out when it's stopped. You can have the sound continue on into the next page. if it's not looping, then it will stop eventually.

Ahh okay. I start out my story with a looping sound and when I transition to a moment of silence, it's very abrupt. I was hoping for something that would help me out and make it more of a steady transition.

I've never used Quest, but from what jaynabonne said here:

You can have the sound continue on into the next page. if it's not
looping, then it will stop eventually.

I'm wondering if you could take another approach, rather than looping the sound.

If Quest doesn't do fades, what about creating a sound file that repeats the sound a few times, and then fades out? With a free sound editor like Acoustica Basic http://download.cnet.com/Acoustica-Basic-Edition/3000-2170_4-75741708.html you can put in a fade yourself. Then in the story, just play the sound file once, and do what jaynabonne said as far as continuing the sound to the next page.
