One of the really cool things about #MetaSounds is how easy they make it to use audio control other aspects of the game. In this video from the MetaSounds & More: Control & Communication course we look at how we can use the amplitude of a wind sound to trigger sounds of the windows knocking.

Why should you spend money on a #MetaSounds course for #Unreal when there are YouTube videos? It’s a good question. A structured course that takes you all the way from scratch written by experienced educators is going to fast track your learning. Get started with MetaSounds & More: Foundation here:
