This software is a comprehensive tool for sound designers to create and customize audio files. It offers advanced features and functionalities for authoring sounds.
This user-friendly tool is highly flexible and enables the creation of both simple and complex multi-layer, effect, and envelope-based sound events. The sound designer has full control over layering, effects, random behavior, and sound stitching, making it easy to create highly realistic in-game audio. The aim of FMOD Designer is to allow sound designers to design in-game audio entirely from an external tool, providing programmers with a list of assets and events for implementation.
FMOD Designer has been designed with the sound designer in mind, offering complete control over audio behavior within the game. If changes need to be made within the game, it is up to the sound designer to make those changes, not the programmer. The layering screen allows complex audio models, such as those found in a car engine with sounds, multiple cross-fading channels, and effects, to be effortlessly controlled by the user.
The programming aspect of FMOD Designer is extremely user-friendly, making it simple to define sets of simple commands such as SendEvent and UpdateParameter. A great example of this would be in the car model cast, where the 'parameter' in UpdateParameter could be 'revs' or 'torque,' or some other English value, rather than a programmer-defined value.
Best of all, FMOD Designer is free for non-commercial use, making it an excellent choice for budding sound designers who wish to experiment with game audio creation. Try it out today and see for yourself just how powerful and flexible this software can be!
