Fmod studio / designer

Hiya,

We’re finding it frustrating knowing the full power of fmod is just inches away but we cannot make a dynamic musical score without some form of 3rd party integration. Are there any plans for designer/studio support so the musician can make up mood rules and so on for a dynamic soundtrack?

It looks like the fmod guys are working on it:

bump this!

FWIW, Audiokinetic’s WWISE already has an integration available and it’s pretty good to use (barring a couple of setup hiccups).

It’s $100 more expensive than FMOD (at the first license tier). Free for non-commercial use though. Downloadable direct from their site.

In case you guys missed it http://www.fmod.org/browse-unity-integration/

What’s the licensing for fmod on this? I assume it requires a separate license to the existing one in unity?

guess 500 dollars per game per platform on the lower tier, and only if you stay away from the audiogaming procedural plugins (which I think are awesome but 4000? )

Oh I’m quite interested in this. Well, not me but a person helping me with audio has been asking about this.

“If your title is not intended for commercial gain and does not include the FMOD library for resale, license or other commercial distribution, then use of FMOD is free. Yes that’s right, free from license fees!” sounds good enough to me.

My silly solution for dynamic music has been having multiple tracks playing at the same time and then just fading volume of those tracks in and out as needed. Well, it kind of works fine if I get timings right but it’s far from elegant and I suppose it isn’t what professionals deem good.
