Customization

In this section, we will discuss the preference settings in BroAudio. Locate to Tools/BroAudio/Preferences and open the editor window. You will see a tab view just like the one below.

🎵Audio

Global Playback Group For assigning a playback group at the system level to act as the base fallback for all groups/rules.

Audio Filter Slope Determines the default value of the attenuation per octave that the HighPass/LowPass applies to. The higher the value it set, the more frequencies are attenuated by the filter.

more info will be explained in Technical Details-Audio Filter Design

BGM

Always Play Music As BGM If enabled, every entity with BroAudioType.Music will be played by the MusicPlayer.

Default Transition If "Always Play Music As BGM" is enabled, this option will appear, allowing you to set the transition type that the entity with BroAudioType.Music applies when it is played.

Default Easing

Project Settings

Max Real Voices The Max Real Voices count the current project set. It's the same as in Edit/Project Settings/Audio. [Read-Only]

Bro Virtual Tracks Indicates the number of tracks utilized as backup tracks for virtual voices within the BroAudioMixer. This is [Read-Only] for now.

Auto-adding tracks to match audio voices This button becomes available when BroAudioMixer has fewer tracks than Max Real Voices + Bro Virtual Tracks. Clicking the button will prompt BroAudioMixer to duplicate the last track until the total track count matches the target count (Max Real Voices + Bro Virtual Tracks).

AudioType Color

Customize the label color of each BroAudioType, the options become available when Show Audio Type On SoundID is enabled.

Displayed Properties

Determines which entity's property will be displayed in the LibraryManager by BroAudioType. This allows you to hide some properties that may not need to be set, focusing on those essential for that AudioType

For example, Music is often played "globally", meaning it's not tied to a specific spatial location. Therefore, no Spatial Setting is necessary. Additionally, the Pitch is typically left at its default setting, so it's not needed either."

🔘Misc

Asset Output Path

When an audio asset is created, it is saved to this path. You can change it by clicking this option.

This option is also displayed in the LibraryManager window if the path is unavailable.

Add Dominator Track
