Another way to layer sounds is through drawing a \**Trigger zone*\* and adjusting Playback Options

First, Draw on the map a trigger zone for your Echo

Click "ADD SOUND ELEMENT" and upload the sound you want triggered within the echo

Select "Play Complete (always play to the end)" , this will play the entire sound file once triggered

Now the sound will continue to play, layering with all other echoes triggered afterwards, until complete.

You can also layer sound through editing fade in the playback options. Click the "pencil Icon" on the echo you want to edit.

Increase the Fade Out setting to control how long the sound will fade out after exiting the trigger zone. \ \ Here the fade is set to 15000 ms, this means the sound will fade for 15 seconds and overlap with any other additional echoes triggered outside of 'Circle_1' zone for that length.

Click "PUBLISH CHANGES" to ensure settings are updated
