Audio over multiple slides in Storyline

I know that in Articulate Storyline you have to break up your audio by slide. I have some music I'd like to play over multiple slides. When I break up the music by slide though there seems to be a h...

    Hi everyone!

    I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 74, we've included important fixes and new features.

    One of the new features we've included is: 

    • Create immersive experiences with continuous background audio that sets the tone and keeps learners engaged.

    Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

    Please let me know if you have questions!

So this request/thread is over 5 years old now.  Any chance we can expect it to be resolved before another 5 years has passed? :-)  

I did see the one solution posted a while back that can put music across the entire project.  I would like to run some background music that continues across only 3 slides, so that solution unfortunately will not help me.  The slides are quiz questions and I would like 'quiz music' to play while on those slides.  The slides only progress forward based on user actions so I can't just split up the music.  It appears that my only choice at this time is to place the same music file on each slide - thus starting it over each time the user moves to the next slide.  

While this isn't the end of the world for my current needs, I can foresee the need to have a continuous music track (not necessarily for the entire course) on future slides.  

So... what's the status on this one?

 

Thanks!

I agree!

Voice-over sounds so much better with background music. Plus the choice of the music can really help set the tone for the content. (I.e. 'bright' for a 101 course or onboarding. 'Ominous' to start a hazard review.) I often have 3 or 4 slides in the beginning that I would like to have music running across. The only think I can do so far - is play those like a video, capture with Camtasia, add the music, and then put it all on one slide. Not optimum.

Thanks,

Jeff
