MetaSounds For Beginners - First Patch

Welcome to the channel!
Today we'll be diving into Unreal Engine 5, utilizing MetaSounds and how you might set up your very first MetaSound logic, to play and stop when entering and exiting a collider. We'll go through making your own Blueprints, making MetaSound source patches and general Unreal Engine know how. Plus a super quick detour to Reaper to export some tone for us!

Great video, thanks a lot!

Super excited about this series, looking forward to going through it all. Thank you for taking the time to make these David!!

[@dweaveraudio]

Glad you like them!

Awesome! Thanks for doing this and sharing your knowledge. It’s always such gold coming across a slick and well explained tutorial on anything to do with the technical side of audio. Far too many explanations are over complicated but you get the viewer placing and triggering a sound in seconds. Keep it up and really looking forward to more 👏

@@dweaveraudio That's alright ahah looking forward for more videos! Are you thinking about exploring creating procedural music from scratch using in game inputs?

I have a question! Should all metasounds sources be placed inside a actor blueprint?

[@dweaveraudio]

Depends on their behaviour! If they're intended to be spatialized, with special triggering behaviour or positional information, probably! But if they're a service like music or something that exists as part of a level blueprint or otherwise, I could see some other appropriate places too 🙂 great question!

@@dweaveraudioHello, I'm trying for the last 3 days exactly that - my music metasound exist as part of blueprint "bob" and I want to control metasound's float input "snare" inside of blueprint "john" that is ready to pass on the float value. The issue I'm having is how do I communicate john with snare? I don't want to have an audio component in bob

[@dweaveraudio]

@@xKajzerGaming007 inter-blueprint communication comes in many forms. Probably the clearest one I'd start with that at least has some semblance of good practice would be Delegates!
