Besides adding reverb in the actual audio files, what would you use to add reverb effects to your game audio? Say you've got a good 2 dozen of effects. Walking, Running, Using, various objects falling. All of that needs to have reverb over it.

Maybe play it twice. One on top of the other, slightly delayed. The second time at half volume

Well that covers the delay, sort of. It's a bit finicky but it would do the job.

Reverb however is much harder and is actually what I'm interested in the most.

Well i guess you could batch the sound files using a audio proggy. i use goldweave but i'm sure there are a few free ones out there

Download Audacity. It is free. Use that for all sounds I create and edit. Reverb is just one of many fx you can add. Is there some reason why you don't want to just add it into the audio file?

I've been writing music for the past 9 years, just to lay down the groundwork for how much I know about music and audio, as to avoid any further confusion.

My studio:


This is a 3D game. I'm going to be working with sounds which need to have a point of origin - panning. I'm not playing sounds that originate from inside of your own (player) head. That may pass for menu button clicks but an in-game objects need to be panned relative to where the player is facing. If the clock is to the right then I need it to Tick Tock on the right side of the panorama. The reverb in mono doesn't sound as convincing and panning a stereo audio file is redundunt, not to mention is even less convincing. Lastly I'm left with rendering the sound of the clock and the Bus channel with the reverb as two separate files, which means I've doubled the amount of files and data. At this point I might as well make the engine do the audio processing.

Speaking of which. This is in C++ so I'm not stuck with AppGameKit built in libraries.

So anyone knows of programming solutions? Perhaps some libraries that would do that?

I mean you could edit sound data directly using memblocks but this would require development and research. Not a quick or easy solution.

If you're using Tier2 then you have numerous possibilities. First thing that comes to mind is FMOD, I bet it has plenty of effects you can add on the fly. An alternative to that would be Wwise. It's been a long time since I've used fmod, and I don't really know anything about wwise. I'm also unaware of pricing for either.

Is EAX still a thing these days? I know DBP had some support for this awhile back.

I suppose you could load the music into a memblock.

and do a movement like

original memblock -- byte1, byte2, byte3, byte4, byte5, etc

new memblock - empty, empty, byte1, byte2, byte3, byte4, etc

goodluck

Yeah I'd like to avoid having to root around and coming up with my own DPS effects. If there's a library that has that functionality, it would suit me better.

Looks like Fmod is what I'm looking for at the moment.
