MIX_StereoGains(3type)

💖 MIX_StereoGains(3type) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the SDL_mixer3 DATATYPES corner of the universe, and it's genuinely so cute. it's about a lil struct called MIX_StereoGains, and no cap, once you get it you'll be obsessed. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

MIX_StereoGains — a whole lil set of per-channel gains for tracks that are out here using MIX_SetTrackStereo(). 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3_mixer/SDL_mixer.h>

typedef struct MIX_StereoGains
{
    float left;   /**< left channel gain */
    float right;  /**< right channel gain */
} MIX_StereoGains;

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea. when you force a track to stereo (very main character behaviour), the app gets to specify a per-channel gain, which lets you further adjust the left or right outputs. it's giving fine-tuning. it's giving control. 🫶

when audio that's been forced to stereo gets mixed, each channel is modulated by these values. like, every single channel, individually, no shortcuts.

now the numbers, because numbers matter:

• 1.0f → no change at all, the vibe stays exactly as it was ✨
• 0.0f → absolute silence, nothing, not a peep 💀

and if you wanna do a simple panning effect? the move is literally: set left to whatever value you want, and then set right to 1.0f - left. iconic. balanced. mathematically immaculate. 👑
