perhaps but unity only supports 1 afaik? I was upgrading DreamingImLatio's myri audio to 1.0 and his conversion for listeners seems overkill? not sure I would ever need more than one and even then to batch their blob conversion seems overkill

iirc multiple audio listeners is a nogo in unity

#

yeah exactly, trying to make sense of that design decision for latios' framework(because it took some brainpower deciphering his conversion optimizations)

Try fomod

use SteamAudio

Feels so much better to work with compared to built in audio

#

nah i already got it working, pure ecs audio is really convenient

proud bear Sep 28, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

Pure ecs?

#

Ain't it hybrid?

crystal willow Sep 28, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

just the why would multiple listeners ever be useful

#

nope

#

audioclips are converted to blobassetreferences

#

can create/play/destroy thousands like any other entity with burst

#

sounds become kind of white noise if you have that many though

bitter haven Sep 28, 2022, 10:34 PM

#

there's also going to be a native ecs audio

#

crystal willow can create/play/destroy thousands like any other entity with burst

Fmod is burst compatible too

#

Personally I love it for the engine more

#

As someone who worked a lot with music IDE fmod feels very familiar.

yeah I dont believe i have any fine grain mixing abilities but tbh i really dont understand audio beyond "play/stop"
