Animation Timing
Slide sounds work best when synchronized with visual animations:
// Coordinate sound with animation duration

play ~slide-network
// Play sound at animation midpoint
animate $card -flip:600ms =>
wait 300ms
play ~slide-magic
Best Practices
- Match Sound to Motion - Choose sounds that match the visual movement
- Consider Speed - Faster animations need shorter sounds
- Direction Matters - You might use different sounds for left vs right
- Don’t Overdo It - Not every transition needs a sound
