Hello folks!

I am an audio designer and I would like to create sounds for all kinds of game worlds. Can you please give me some tips on what technical requirements you have for sound files to create a realistic 3D room sound?

Here are my considerations so far:

While most of the sounds are placed as mono single loops in the 3D environment, I'm not sure what GameDev's requirements are for the background noise of a static room sound to create the best possible 3D result. Is this also only a mono loop or are several signals placed in the room?

Thanks a lot and stay healthy!

Hi!

As nsmadsen has already mentioned, mono audio sources are placed in the 3D environment and create a three-dimensional sound image in the engine. The same applies to third-party programs such as FMOD. The most effective way to create a complex sound scenery is a static room tone within the map and many individual audio sources in the environment. Adjustments like reverb, occlusion, low-pass/ high-pass are traditionally controlled in the games engine by trigger-zones or reverb-zones to create the physical sound properties for indoor/ outdoor scenarios.

Adaptive wishes,

Thanks a lot guys!
