When I make my cinematic, I never hear any of the sounds of the combat when the units fight.. Well I do, but its very very faint, it might just be something wrong with my sound card, but its really annoying because I can't continue my cinematic without sound.. :(
I can't remember witch it is, but useing letterbox mode will disable all combat sounds and cinematic mode will play them. (It could be the other way around)
Yes, this is one of the most important peices of advise that I give to people, and so many STILL don't do it. Cinematic mode kills all ambient, combat, etc sounds, even halves music volume. I learned back in teh days of IC that Letterbox alone was far better, and I've tried to convince everyone else too lol.
