Title: Sync audio track with an event
Post by: Gav (HeyBud) on October 03, 2016, 12:38:49 AM

Is there a way to send an event from a moment in an audio track? Wanting to do something like an animation event where at a certain moment in the animation, it sends an event, but with audio mixer.

Specifically, i'm trying to play an animation of a drummer hitting the snare when the snare hits in the song.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi,
i don't think you can let the track send an event, so what you can do depends if your snare is a separate loop (a single snare hit looping) or not

if it is you could try not using loop but let it finish and then have a state to send a event to the animatior and tweak the animation for the timing.

If not you can maybe try calculating the beats per minute and get the time between a single beat.
Then use that info in a wait and loop that with a send event to the animator.

You can get the playback time on the audio track and based on your int/float criteria send an event.
