Hi, I’m new here on psychopy and I’m not very good at programming.  
I’m designing my experiment using the builder. Specifically I found some problems in a specific routine where I want to play a video and simultaneously (while the video is being played) I want to play 4 sounds randomly taken from a list of ten (Eg: one.wav, two.wav, four.wav, ten.wav) one second apart.  
As you can see from the screenshots, I built the routine, I inserted a video component and the loop with the xlsx document where there are the ten sounds from which I want to draw only 4 at a distance of 1 second from each other (Eg. first sound at one second, second sound at two seconds, third at three seconds etc.)

How can I do this?

Any help would be much appreciated.
