SoundPreset

Use SoundPresets to apply default values to your sounds

Use SoundPreset to apply settings to SoundContainers and SoundEvents automatically by matching the names of your assets. Its matched and applied when you Create Assets From Selection or manually from the SoundContainer Presets and the SoundEvent Presets toolbars. Example use: Name UI sounds to “UI_” and use Is Prefix “UI_” to automatically assign settings like disabling distance and setting Spatial Blend to 0. The settings are applied ordering from the one highest up and going downwards and can match an asset multiple times overwriting previous values. You can have multiple SoundPreset objects.

Notes At the top of the SoundPreset there is a text field which you can fill with notes.

Example_SoundPreset If you want a starting point for your SoundPreset, look at the Example_SoundPreset. Note: The SoundContainers and SoundEvents have volume -12dB so you can increase the volume later. You can compensate by increasing the volume in the AudioMixer. All the SoundEvents are also assigned to a AudioMixerGroup in the Example_AudioMixer.

Is Prefix If the prefix of an asset matches the strings, the settings will be applied. Example prefixes: “AMB”, “MUS”, “SFX”, “UI”, “VO”.

Is Not Prefix If the prefix of an asset doesn’t match the strings, the settings will be applied.

Contains If the name of an asset contains the strings, the settings will be applied.

Not Contains If the name of an asset doesn’t contain the strings, the settings will be applied.
