Manual Notes:
• Unity needs sounds to come from Audio Sources. The sounds are emitted and then heard by the Audio Listeners.
• Audio Listeners are most commonly connected to the main camera.
• Unity simulates sound distance/position based on the listener.
• The Doppler Affect can also be simulated.
• You can calculate echoes with Audio Filters.
• if there are certain areas you want to have a strong echo, you can add a Reverb Zone.
• Audio Mixer lets you mix different audio sources, add effects to them, and perform mastering.
• Audio mixers are an asset, you can make more than one and have many running at once.
• You can capture the settings of all the parameters in a group as a snapshot.
• You can create a list of snapshots. You then can transition between them in gameplay to create different moods or themes.
• Ducking allows you to alter the effect of one group based on what is happening in another group. (Like turning down music volume when you’re shooting).
AudioMixer Information
• The asset contains all AudioGroups and AudioSnapshots as sub-assets.
• The hierarchy view contains the entire mixing hierarchy of AudioGroups inside the AudioMixer.
• The AudioGroup Strip View shows an overview of an AudioGroup, including volume settings, Mute, Solo and Effect Bypass settings and the list of DSP effects within the AudioGroup.
