Creating your first sound scape

Sound in games is one of the most important tools that you can leverage to enhance the immersion and enjoyment a player has with your title. UE offers a very easy-to-use sound toolset that we are going to be learning how to utilize. We will be learning how to create 3D sound queues, how to trigger sound effects based off of animation ques, and how to add global sound volumes to your game scenes.

These objects also allow you to apply any modifications to how our raw sound file is played back during runtime. This means we can perform sound modifications such as modulation, oscillation, attenuation, Doppler effects, and much more from within the...
