UE4 New Audio Engine Early Access - Modular synth Basics

In this video series we will explore some of the basics of the new Unreal Audio Engine currently in development.
In this video I show you how to get up and running with basic functionality of the modular synth component.
This video series follows the new unreal audio engine quick start guide posted by Dan Reynolds, a technical sound designer at Epic Games. You can find the original quick start guide Here:

Oh man thanks, I've done another tutorial similar to this one and they completely skipped the step where you set it up to receive input from the Player Character. I had no ideal why I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working and no one could help me with the problem....It seems pretty sad that such a simple thing could be so easily overlooked and even skipped in other tutorials when it's obviously not going to work if it doesn't know where to expect the input from.

I'm a musician/sound designer looking to get into sound design in your new audio engine :) What is the best to get into starting this for people who have NO experience using unreal? My knowledge of sound design doesn't go much further than vcv racks, pure data, fm synthesis and other sound generators with extensive matrixes. Any help?

Hi, I'm not really sure exactly what you're asking. What do you want to learn?

[@boimesa8190]

@@gameaudioguru8457 as a NON Unreal Engine user, what would be the best way to get familiar and started with it's audio engine?

[@gameaudioguru8457]

@@boimesa8190 I would point you to this website: www.gameaudioimplementation.com/ There is a book you can find there with the same name. It's a great book that takes you through many aspects of Unreal's audio engine.
