This is one of the only Fmod tutorials I could find online. I'm a first time user too and keen to learn more about Fmod and would also like to learn Wwise too. Bring on more game audio tuts!! Agreed.

Do you know of any other good resources for this topic? Please keep tutorials on this topic coming. I know about FMOD but this one went a bit over my head. Maybe a FMOD or Wwise for Noobs tut?

In almost all of our games we have the rolloff set to Linear. Ini some places we do use a custom rolloff driven by the distance parameter, but the above example was an oversight. I appreciate the correction. You’re absolutely right, Anonymous. In almost all of our games we have the rolloff set to Linear.

If rolloff is set to linear then the sound will attenuate between the min and max as described, albeit not in a psychoacoustically correct way. However, when used with logarithmic rolloff, 3D Max distance sets the distance at which the volume STOPS attenuating. The actual rolloff curve is determined from the 3D min distance in the normal logarithmic fashion i.e. half volume for a doubling of distance. In the example given the sound will play a 0dB between 0 and 15 meters then attenutate to -6dB at 30 meters. At 40 meters it will be just over -12dB. Outside of 40 meters it will stop attenuating and will continue to play at ~-12dB regardless of position. FMOD's maximum attenuation is -60dB which with a 3D min distance of 15 will not be hit until an in-game distance of 15360 meters. therefore you need to set your 3D Max distance to at least 15360 or you sound will be audible wherever you are in your game world. Assuming that your game world is that big, of course. I have to point ou that the information given about Min/Max distance is incorrect as the example is using logarithmic rolloff.
