<Alert severity = 'warning'>
|
|
There is a newer set of [audio objects](../audio/objects.md) and [effects](../audio/effects.md) that offer more control and address robust use cases. For more information, see [Audio](../audio/index.md).
|
|
</Alert>
|
|
|
|
Sound effects and music enhance your experiences and make them more immersive. You can import your own [audio assets](../audio/assets.md) or search for free-to-use audio in the [Creator Store](../production/creator-store.md), play audio through `Class.Sound` or objects, and enhance audio playback through [dynamic effects](#dynamic-effects).
|
|
|
|
## Sound objects
|
|
|
|
A [sound object](../sound/objects.md) emits audio within an experience. Roblox assigns each [audio asset](../audio/assets.md) a unique ID that you can assign to `Class.Sound` objects to play a specific sound effect or music track. You can either set this audio to play automatically at runtime, or trigger it to play from scripts.
|
|
|
|
The location of where you place a `Class.Sound` object in the [Explorer](../studio/explorer.md) hierarchy affects how users hear audio. If you want users to only hear audio near a specific position, you must parent the `Class.Sound` object to a 3D object or `Class.Attachment` to behave as positional audio. If you want users to hear audio regardless of their position, you must insert the `Class.Sound` object directly into `Class.Workspace` or `Class.SoundService` to behave as background audio.
|
|
|
|
## Sound groups
|
|
|
|
A [sound group](../sound/groups.md) acts as an audio mixer for multiple audio objects, such as `Class.Sound` objects or additional `Class.SoundGroup|SoundGroups`, allowing you to control the volume and dynamic effects properties of multiple audio signals at once.
|
|
|
|
## Dynamic effects
|
|
|
|
[Dynamic effects](../sound/dynamic-effects.md) modify or enhance the audio of individual `Class.Sound` objects or an entire `Class.SoundGroup`. You can apply these effects to make audio more immersive within the experience, such as using `Class.EqualizerSoundEffect` to make rain sound muffled, `Class.CompressorSoundEffect` to control a sound's maximum volume, or `Class.ReverbSoundEffect` to add more realistic reflections of sound in interior spaces.
