Live Editing in SoundMaker

With the latest release (1.0.10) of SoundMaker, we're introducing Live Editing. A powerful new feature that allows you to update and tweak your sound libraries directly from the editor while they're loaded in the players. No more switching back and forth, reloading projects, or breaking your creative flow. Now, you can make adjustments in real-time and hear the results instantly.

This streamlined workflow is designed to save time and keep your focus on crafting immersive audio experiences. Whether you're fine-tuning parameters, modifying effects, or making structural changes to your sound libraries, Live Editing ensures a seamless process.

Enabling Live Editing

To start using Live Editing, follow these simple steps:

• Open Preferences: In the SoundMaker Editor, navigate to the Preferences window.

  
  

• Choose Your Update Mode: There are two key settings to control how changes are applied:

• Send Parameter Changes to Players

  • Updates player instances with changes made in the editor.

  • Supports real-time parameter adjustments, adding/removing components, applying DSP effects, and reassigning bus outputs.

  • Only requires a re-export if audio assets are added or if certain components (like event or runtime parameter assignments) need to be reflected in the Player Inspector panel.

    
    

• Auto Reload FPK When Exported

  • Automatically reloads the FPK inside SoundMaker Player when exported.

  • Eliminates the need for manual reloading.

Why Live Editing Matters

✅ Refine sound design in real-time without losing creative momentum.
