In building the soundscape of the Viking Village scene, I mixed a variety of different sounds together in FMOD to create the right atmosphere. In the last post<\/a> I placed my first few sounds. Remember, this is Houlgate, a fictional small village on the coast of a mysterious country. It\u2019s autumn and today the wind and seas are quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m only going to cover a few of the other sound design\nchoices I made, but these are the ones I think were important in my process of\nlearning to use FMOD and Unity together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nWolf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a lot of searching, I found a wolf sound on freesound.com that would work. In FMOD I set the track up and added some time after the sound ended to make sure it wouldn\u2019t be played back immediately if the player remained in the trigger area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make Mr. Wolf feel distant, I added a reverb send. I increased the reverb time and wet sound and cut some of the dry. I decided to do all of this in FMOD to work specifically with its features, instead of using one of my reverb plug-ins in my DAW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to Unity. I created a cube and set it to a large area, something like 30 x 20 x 30 on the north side of the village. Entering this cube is a trigger for the sound. So in the FMOD Sound Emitter I am not selecting object start<\/em> like with the music, the water, or the torches. This needs to be on Trigger Enter, otherwise the player may miss the sound before they get to the trigger area. Also, I set a parameter that this can only be cued once per minute, I don\u2019t want it repeating over and over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To build this crane sound, I followed the tutorial<\/a> closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
