FMOD DEMO REEL 1. FMOD Studio for UE4 Video 6 - Dynamic Car Engine. FMOD Studio 1.06 - Instant Replay. Audio for Film, TV and Video Games: How to create generative footsteps in Fmod. Yesterday I finished working on the first of a series of videos to explore the possibilities of Fmod and Wwise when used as sound design and music tools within a game project. Stay tuned because they will be released very soon on You Tube and Vimeo. When working on assets such as footsteps or gun shots, which typically require a lot of variations, middleware engines come in handy to make the most of the resources available. However, I always find myself working on Pro Tools (or Logic) first, before importing the assets in Fmod. The reason for this is fairly simple: on my DAW I have access to all my plugins and I can manipulate the sound in ways that are far more accurate. What you can do for now though is to work out single layers of the sound effect in your DAW and import them into the middleware as multiple single files.
In this very simple example, we created basic footsteps for our character, who we believe to be some sort of knight wearing heavy, metallic armour. Interactive Audio for a Turn-Based RPG Game. For the character’s hit efforts during combat (when they get hit by an opponent’s attack), the type of effort varies according to the amount of damage received. For this to work, the PlayCharacterSounds() method receives the int value “damage”, which is then divided by 10, to correspond to a value between 0 and 1. public void PlayCharactersSounds(VoiceType _what, ECharacterRace _charRace, Vector3 _pos, string name = "", int damage = 0) List<FMODAsset> sounds = new List<FMODAsset>(); string path = _charRace.ToString(); //Attributes the Character’s Race to the correspondant path Debug.Log("Call a " + _what.ToString() + " @ " + path); sounds.AddRange(getAudioInPath("Characters/" + path)); //Attributes the Fmod Assets inside the Character Race’s folder to the “sounds” List //Plays the “hit” sound, according to the damage value if (damage > 0) if (sounds.Exists(a => a.path.Contains(_what.ToString()))) autch.setParameterValueByIndex(0, (float)damage / 10f); autch.set3DAttributes(attributes);

An Introduction to FMOD, part 1: The Interface | The Audiolog. Hello! It’s been a while! A long time ago, I may or may not have promised a tutorial on FMOD, and in either case it’s been on my to-do list, so I’m gonna begin the process in striking it off here, right now. Welcome to the first post in my series on the use of FMOD. I was inspired to write this tutorial after meeting some of the FMOD/Firelight Technologies crew in March 2014 at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. What gives me the authority to make such a claim? Before we get down to business here, I want to stress one thing. What Does FMOD Do? FMOD is a strange beast. A Quick Rundown Of The Event Editor Concept: Everything Is An Event! The first thing to understand about FMOD is that everything in your game happens not at a point in time, but at a decision in space. This is the FMOD Event Editor Window. Above, I’ve got an example of the Event Editor. As you select the new event, take notice of the large, upper middle section of the editor, which I’ve marked by the red box.
FMOD Studio video tutorial | Anastasia Devana. I recently attended the GDC (Game Developers Conference) in San Francisco. This was my second time there, it was the best one yet, and from the looks of it this is just the beginning. For me there is no event quite like the GDC, and I've seen my share of conferences and networking events. The convergence of creative energy, talent, willingness and desire to meet new people is just overwhelming. I had the best time reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. And I have to say I truly love the video games industry, and I love the video game audio community. The Game Audio Network Guild (GANG) has an annual demo derby at the Game Developer's Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, which is a nice way for composers and sound designers to show off their work and get some feedback from industry veterans.
I've been meaning to do a video tutorial for a while, and this seemed like a good subject, so here is my first attempt at making a video tutorial. Cutting Your Teeth on FMOD Part 5: Real-time streaming of programmatically-generated audio | Katy's Code. This article was inspired by - thanks for the suggestion! In this article, we shall look at how to generate sounds programmatically using a function which generates each sample one by one, and how to feed these samples into the audio buffer of a playing stream in real-time. Note: The SimpleFMOD library contains all of the source code and pre-compiled executables for the examples in this series. What are sound samples?
Figure 1. How a sine wave is represented by sound samples (the red dots) (source: streaming.stanford.edu) Audio is stored on computers as a series of discrete numbers which are known as samples. When you hear a pure tone, for example the dots and dashes of morse code, or a smoke detector which makes a single high-pitch noise when it goes off, you are usually listening to the audio representation of a sine wave. Notice the difference between the top and bottom graphs: in the bottom graph, the sound wave is sampled twice as often, giving a more accurate digital representation. Interview With Stephan Schutze. Stephan Schutze is a professional sound designer and composer who has worked in the gaming industry for nearly 14 years now.
Stephan is also the leading authority on the audio implantation software for games: FMOD and has recently created a teaching program entitled FMOD Studio 101. FMOD Studio 101 will be taught throughout the world in participating institutions and will provide an in-depth course that will also aim to keep the students’ interest and passion for game audio. We talk to Stephan about his history within the game audio world and gain advice and insight on applying for sound designer roles. We also discuss FMOD and FMOD Studio 101 in further detail. How did your journey in audio begin? Cliched as it might sound I had quite a bit of music around me as I was growing up. my mother and both my brothers played musical instruments and I was exposed to lots of orchestral music around the house. Did you always want to work with games? What is your favourite game? So what is FMOD? FMOD Studio Tutorial 05 - The 3D Panner. FMOD Studio Tutorial 06 - Sidechains. Test your custom FMOD soundbanks in the iPhone Simulator! EngineAudio.com releases free app. | Engine Audio.
We here at Engine Audio were looking for a way to test the new integration of the FMOD audio system on the iPhone platform. So we developed an FMOD soundbank testing application for the iPhone simulator. Firelight Technologies, creators of the FMOD engine, provides great example projects to help get people started with their system. This project expands on some of their ideas incorporating a few of the tools into one app. - Test FMOD Soundbanks! - Manipulate FMOD’s effect parameters (distortion, flangers, phasers, filters, verbs)! - Connect to the FMOD Designer in real-time! The application is made up of two main windows: The first is a list of all of the sounds in the current sound bank. With the second screen you can adjust both effect parameters at once using a single touch.
Installation: This application requires XCode along with the FMOD EX Programmers iPhone API from Firelight Technologies. XCode (v4.6.1) You can always find me at: chris@engineaudio.com. Interactive audio middleware • View topic - What happens when I hand over the build files to the program. Audio Middleware | AudioGaming. Now included in: Overview: At AudioGaming, we develop innovative and original audio middleware for video games and interactive media creators. Based on our procedural audio library, our solutions focus on delivering interactive and dynamic audio in real-time configurations. What is Procedural Audio ? “-In the video game world, procedural audio refers to the computational process of generating audio from nothing, or almost nothing.
The goal is to use almost no .wav data (pre-recorded audio files), but rather models that generate in real-time the equivalent audio data that would be contained in pre-recorded files. Take on natural scenographic interactions... As a sound designer, the natural interaction between a scene and its parameters will dramatically enhance your speed of sound conception, its dynamic integration as well as the number of sound design possibilities. Three Degrees of Simplicity: Intuitive Interface, Dynamic Interoperability & Reduced CPU.
FMOD Video Channel. Fmod Interactive Audio. SquareTangle. Fmod Designer & Unity Part.1 – Footsteps » Quantum Noise. 29.Jan.2013 at 29 | 4dm1n You will need these versions of FMOD designer and Unity Editor: FMOD 4.42Unity 3.4.2 Modify “PlayExEvent.cs” to trigger a sound when hitting the “up” key This one is fairly simple. What this little C# script does is starting the car engine loop at the beginning of the game. Then the mouse position is tracked at each frame and the value is passed on to FMOD that sets the rpm of the car engine. For now we can comment out everything related to the car engine and its parameters except what interests us: the “start” function: As you might have guessed, it is used to start the event, meaning that the sound is played when this function is called. I choosed to call footsteps sounds each time I stroke the “up” key. And my own initialization: In unity the function for checking that a key is stroke is: We just have to create a simple “if” loop:
FMOD SndBx Song WalkThru. Crimw さんのチャンネル. Cryengine Fmod Music Game. Here is some code from me where i tested some stuff and tried to change the pitch parameter. Maybe it works better for custom parameters the pitch parameter however is very buggy... (but works sometimes) // again this doesn't work reliable in this fmod integration // sometimes it isn't the right speed or it seems like a random speed // also the positions/durations returned arent affected at all so any kind of synchronization is then impossible // when you use bullettime ingame with synchronized videos containg sound you might see the effects.. if(fabs(m_fSpeed - 1) > 0.05 || fabs(fSpeed - 1) > 0.05) { m_fSpeed = fSpeed; if(m_p2DSound) { // Not working needs to be pre resampled.. ptParamF32 param(0.0f); if(m_pCE3Sound->GetParam(spPITCH, ¶m)) { // Seems to not work.. so couldnt test param.SetValue(float(m_fSpeed-1)); // * MILLISECOND // which unit?
Semitones how to calculate this.. but since its only working randomly if(! //// Gets parameter defined by index and float value. How Choice of Middleware Tools Can Affect The Music Composition Process. This post is part post-mortem, part insight into the world of audio implementation from the audio guy POV and all catharsis! When I was contacted for the job, I was informed that we would be using FMOD Designer. At this stage I had had much more experience with XACT, through my work with numerous indie developers on the Xbox Indies program. However, I had performed numerous ‘test’ projects in FMOD and confidently exaggerated my way into convincing them I was the right guy for the job!
For the most part, porting the audio was plain sailing, up until I began recreating the Interactive Music system. I was wrong. FMOD Designer has some awesome interactive music tools, but they also require that the music is written in a very specific mindset for those to open up to you. An example of a sound container in FMOD (Example: The wavefile ‘Lvl02_Battle_01 is edited into 3 sections A, B, and C. My initial attempt at recreating the Interactive Music Structure - fairly straightforward! 2. Music System - Doc 2. Sandbox Manual - CryENGINE 3 Free SDK. Overview This page contains documentation about the Music System of CryENGINE and its subsystems.
Music System Generally spoken the Music System as a whole consists of three parts: The Music System plays back music.The Music Logic automatically changes the music, depending on certain game inputs.The Music Editor located in The DataBase View tab of the Editor specifies which music to play. Music System The Music System loads the theme description and can play a theme, switch to moods, or play individual patterns by name.
Music Logic Music Logic is a game-dependent module that can have several inputs to change its internal state. Music Editor To enable music in a level, the music database must be opened from the DataBase View while a level is open. In the screenshot above, SDK_Music in the drop-down menu refers to the Game\Music\SDK_Music.xml file. The theme or mood entities can be connected to an area shape or directly triggered through Flow Graphs. Music Entities Music:LogicControl Node. View topic - How to insert/integrate soundfiles from FMOD into CryEn3 ? Hi everyone, I know how to use FMOD and obtaining the .feb, .fsb and .fdp files, there are a lot of tutorials on how to use FMOD, BUT I haven´t found any information about how to use those files to integrate them as sounds or music in CryEngine 3.
There is some information in even there is a PDF that says Audio_Training but all that information is purely schematic, it says something about the folder and file naming must be the same but it doesn´t explain the basics of how to introduce audio into the browser for its use. In the tutorial: says how to manipulate and use the sounds, but it doesn´t explain how the original sounds got in there. I would appreciate a lot if someone gives me some information about this, maybe its a very simple thing but I haven´t found yet how to do this.
