Me too! We all wanted a way to change the BGM that everyone in our houses hear. Instead, they make the audio directional (completely pointless). And, it's my understanding that you can only hear the song that is playing if you too own it yourself :mad: (Please correct me if I'm mistaken, and I hope I am.)

SE when Animal Crossing has a better housing system then your subscription based MMO does, it's time for you to get your $%@! together, overhaul it, and give the players what they have been asking for since housing was first introduced.

I agree, please, just have a switch on the Orchestrion UI to change from directional audio to flat BGM. It's really an easy fix for all of us who find it distracting.

The volume is low IMO. I tried playing Antitower BGM but it's disturbed by my Alex furniture and Shiva lamp. Those furniture's sound > Orchestrion. :(

Probably due to the virtual surround settings that comes with the Orchestrion. They should get this (virtual surround) certified by THX before putting it in :<

I agree. It's difficult to hear compared to the normal BGM. We shouldn't have to adjust our volume settings every time we go in and out of a house/room.

Anyone can hear the music, regardless of their current collection. You can only sample and activate music that's part of your personal collection however.

As I'd mentioned on another Orchestrion thread, I'd like to humbly request for an option to choose between ambient / virtual surround mode (THX certified :3) and the ability to store 5~10 tracks locally on the Orchestrion as "Last Played" or "Favorites" to encourage FC / friends to run content together.

I like it. The music comes from the direction your jukebox is, helps immersion a bit.

I wouldn't mind if the music got louder or softer based on distance, but when you wear headphones the directional audio really is a bit too exaggerated. I hope it gets toned down because I really like collecting rolls and listening to the songs, but the current setup just hurts to listen to if the camera isn't totally centered on where the orchestrion is.

While the realism of a source point player was a nice idea, I find it annoying to listen to the tracks played from the Orchestrion. I would love to see an option to have it play through the whole house/room as if you had a surround sound system set up, instead of a single speaker radio.
