Want to streamline your work process? Improve your work flow?
As a fellow Unity programmer, I’m looking to help out if you’re interested in that.
Having worked on over 10 Unity games, I have grown tired of spending the time to implement audio. In the beginning of the process, nobody cares about it. But by the end, it becomes a huge and underestimated issue. Why can’t it just work the way you want it to?
So I decided to make a sound manager designed to cater towards making games. It was so useful, I decided to provide it to everyone else. (And so far everyone loves it! Check out the feedback on the Forums and the Asset Store)
SoundManagerPro is a powerful and easy-to-use sound and music system for Unity, both Pro and Free (3.5.4f1 or higher).
It features it’s own music managing AI to make sound integration into your project quick and easy. Not only is it easy, but it is done with style to add that extra UMPH. Forget about saving programming music for last, make it quick, easy, impressive and FANCY with SoundManagerPro. All with minimal overhead.
SoundManagerPro works in an interesting way which separates itself from the competition. It uses its own SoundConnection class. SoundConnections tie a list of AudioClips, a method to play them, and various other variables to a scene. Then, the AI will take it from there. Each time you enter a scene, it will just know what to do. It knows when to play the song, when not to restart a song, and how you want it played. Don’t worry, SoundManagerPro is flexible and this setup is not required. It just helps you quickly set up a backbone for your project. SoundManagerPro gives you the option to still use it’s AI however you want to.
I want you to know about and use SoundManagerPro in your games. You can get a preview from my video, and you can try it out free of charge.
So you want to know what I get out of it? I just want to bring a level of sound quality to all games while allowing you to reallocate your resources to making your games better. And of course, I want to hear your feedback and feature requests.
If you’re interested, I’d love you to give SoundManagerPro a try:
