This project features the classic Windridge City project with the addition of the Standard Assets first person controller. The project includes a few key areas that will benefit from the addition of audio. You will have the opportunity to configure both 2D and 3D audio, create Reverb Zones to enhance the environmental audio effects, trigger audio from a custom C# script, and master the scene’s audio using the Audio Mixer.

Open the Audio Mixer, (Window > Audio > Audio Mixer)

To customize the audio mix of your scene, click the plus button to add a new Mixer and name it Master. 

 In the Groups section create two additional groups, one called SFX and the other called Music. 

In the scene, set the AudioGroups property of the Audio Sources to  one of the groups. The AudioSource_Jazz GameObject should be a part of the Music group and the other AudioSources (Car , Player, and Horn_Collider) should be set to the SFX Group. 

The scene’s audio can now be controlled from the mixer avoiding the need to manually change individual Audio Sources or write custom code to control them for procedurally.

Adjust the SFX groups level in the mix by dragging the orange arrow down to lower the overall volume of the SFX Audio Sources.
