                                                You were to look at the volume control on the previous page and
                                                identify four key characteristics of the volume control.




                                  There's a scale that goes from a low value to a high value.
                                1.



                                  The scale has a fixed set of intervals.
                                2.


                                  The volume control “slider" moves from left to right.
                                3.



                                   Moving the “slider" dynamically adjusts the volume based on its current
                                4.
                                   position on the scale.









           Start with the volume

           Before you start worrying about creating the appropriate GUI interface
           element to actually model the slider, you first need to know how to adjust the
           volume of a track.
           Once you know how to adjust the volume, you can then start to worry
           about linking the volume to the slider, with the current position of the slider
           dictating the current volume setting.
           Then you can allow your user to move the slider which has the effect of
           dynamically and interactively adjusting the volume.


           Sounds easy, eh?
