With the release of the new Audio APIs, I have created an expansive, node-based plugin to seamlessly edit Audio setups (or Stages).
- Visually wire up Instances and reorganize with ease
- In-depth control over AudioPlayer playback, audio asset loading and more
- Automatic Proxy instances to interface between instances that will exist in runtime
- Responsive dials to control numerical properties
- Automatically load Audio setups from your game as soon as you select them
- Non-intrusive, fluid workflow – just close the plugin when you’re done
Wondering how to save, load or export setups? You don’t. All changes immediately apply to your game. Simply click on an Audio Instance in the Explorer, and load it in the plugin automatically to continue working on it.
Below is an example of creating a 3D AudioEmitter, heard by an AudioListener.
How can I do this myself?
Playing the audio
- In the plugin, create an AudioPlayer. Add an asset to play as a test sound.
- Create an AudioEmitter, and wire the Player and Emitter together.
- Set the AudioEmitter parent to wherever you want the sound to come from in the Workspace.
Hearing the audio
- Create an AudioListener. Click “Add Script.” This script will automatically parent the Listener to your camera when you playtest. Make sure the AudioListener is in SoundService, or the Workspace.
- Create an AudioDeviceOutput. Wire the Listener and DeviceOutput together.
- Playtest in Studio, select the AudioPlayer and run the following command in the command bar:
game.Selection:Get()[1]:Play()

When the mouse re-enters the plugin, immediately dragging something might “teleport” it somewhere unexpectedOn some places, the small cursor icon when creating a wire appears glitchy- Undoing an AssetId change in AudioPlayer causes some issues
