Sound atmosphere by mode

Feature being rolled out. Depending on your version of BoothX, the per-mode atmosphere may not be available yet.

Each booth mode has different needs: upbeat music draws players to the wheel of fortune, but it gets in the way of a guest recording a message for the newlyweds. BoothX lets you assign an atmosphere to each mode.

Assign a playlist to a mode

On the Music page, in the Atmosphere by mode section, choose for each mode:

• a playlist (or None for silence);
• a volume specific to the mode.

When the guest switches modes (in a multi-mode event), the music moves from one atmosphere to the other with a fade.

Muting during video

While a video message is being recorded, the booth's music mutes automatically: otherwise, the mic would pick it up and it would drown out the voice. It fades out at the start of the countdown and fades back in at the end of the recording.

This muting only applies to music played by BoothX: the venue's music (DJ, band) is obviously not affected. Set up the guestbook corner away from the speakers.

Music and the event

• The music starts when you launch the event and stops when you exit it.
• It keeps playing between sessions: it's what draws guests to the booth.
• If you have two screens, you can adjust it from your screen without leaving the event.

Interface sounds

Shutter sounds, when turned on in the Music page, are separate from the playlist: they tell the guest when to smile and stay audible over the background music.

Tips

• Test in the venue: the ideal volume depends on the place and the number of guests.
• Avoid silences: turn on repeat for event playlists.
• Have a plan B: a short, neutral playlist in case a client finds the music too loud or unsuitable.
• Think about the public performance rights (see Playlists and crossfades).
