 To play a sound, you first need a sound file. Minecraft uses the ''.ogg'' file format for those.
 If your sound file is in a different format (like the one in the provided link), you can use an online converter to convert from your format to ''.ogg''.
-Now put your .ogg file in the ''resources/assets/modid/sounds'' folder. In the example case the file will be ''resources/assets/tutorial/sounds/my_sound.ogg''.
+Make sure your sound has only one channel, otherwise the attenuation effect (gradual loss of volume with distance) won't be applied to it.
+Now put your .ogg file in the ''resources/assets/modid/sounds'' folder. In the example case the file will be ''resources/assets/tutorial/sounds/my_sound.ogg''.
 ==== Step 2: Add a sounds.json file, or add to it if you already have one ====
 Under ''resources/assets/modid'' add a new file named ''sounds.json'', if you do not have one yet.
