DevGAMM Conference

Are you tired of being in a stagnant relationship with your game's audio system? Our team felt the same way, so we broke up with FMOD and started seeing Metasounds instead. We had to navigate some challenges during the transition, but we built custom editor scripts to automate certain processes, and we found that while FMOD made it easier to design sounds and music, Unreal provides fewer bugs. And while both Unreal Audio and Metasounds have their quirks, we decided to take matters into our own hands and build our own custom tools and features to make the workflow as efficient as we can.. Our bumpy journey from transitioning to Unreal Audio is not without any problems, but we feel like we are on the right track. We have the flexibility to create the sounds we want and take our game's audio to new heights. So if you're ready to break free from your boring audio engine, join us as we share our story of breaking up with FMOD and embracing the wacky world of Metasounds.
