A Quickstart Guide to C++ Audio in Unreal Engine

Do not be afraid!
C++ is a tricky language, but let's get up and running, starting with playing a simple sound in Unreal Engine. In just under 10 minutes, you'll get stuck into C++, create your very own actor component and begin to play sounds from the code side. We'll discuss some troubleshooting, linker errors, references and where to find information inscripts and code for calling functions!

Thank you for making this video! I've bounced off of C++ many times and I feel like this gives me a little more hope that I'll be able to figure it out.

You are welcome, thanks for watching! It can be scary but it's only fingers on keyboards. It takes some time to get around it, but little by little it all becomes more familiar!

@@13longlong13 generally, I'd recommend starting in visual studio if you've not got much experience just because it's at least free to start. I've been super impressed by lots Rider has to offer, but after trying a few times, never made the switch. This is primarily just because the projects I work on often have some super unique setup things going on with their own engine, so the fewer hurdles the better! (But rider super impressive, and if I find myself with a license in future, I'll get back into it!)
