Good day,
I’m trying to make audio in Timeline sound like it’s on the phone and I can do it in the Audio Mixer but I’m not sure how to link the two. I’ve looked into it and documents from 2019 say it’s not possible. Has anyone figured out how to do it straightforwardly? I wonder if it’s possible to send an audio track from Timeline through a mixer channel and, ideally, activate/change the effect through automation in the Timeline audio track.
Thank you
On the PlayableDirector component you can bind the audio track to an AudioSource - so it will play through that AudioSource. You can assign the mixer you want to that AudioSource.
Adding new effects via automation would be tricky - mixers do not have a runtime API. You could have all the effects you want on the mixer end expose their wet level (after enabling Allow Wet Mixing, in the effect inspector). This way you can turn them on and off. You could use Signals on the timeline track to call a monobehaviour function that just toggles this level to do this.
Changing parameters with automation like a DAW is not really possible with signals (they have no payload/data, just the event). I think you might be able to get something working if you make your own custom playables but I am not entirely confident!
hope this helps
