I have question

what does remote sound mean?

@Slavthailand - I guess for multiplayer sound (other player's truck)

I have a technical question.

Turns out, I'm making the air gear sound on the motor, and I'm doing it with Harven's method. But, when doing the test in the game, I see that it has a small delay in that effect sound, calculating 0.50 seconds.

Here's an example:

Comparing it with the sounds of the Kapitan Kriechbaum Mega-Pack of Engines, that effect occurs immediately, after I stop stepping on the accelerator, especially the CAT 3406, as in this video:
https://youtu.be/gYluEUI58L4

Does the use of the steering wheel, pedal and lever control influence so that this effect sounds yes or yes, or in some detail that I have to do in FMod?

Also, I have noticed that when the turbo sounds louder, the air gear sounds louder as well. How could I do it in FMod?

In advance, I thank you for the help.

@eeldavidgt I recommended to set trigger at 0.80

or maybe delete silent in sound sample

edit: what parameter you set for trigger? load or turbo?

@eeldavidgt - glad you got it working - read the section in post 1 on using Live Update as you can set the triggers as suggested above and tweak based on realtime feedback.

The type of game input (wheel/keyboard etc) has no impact on this; the API side of FMOD sends output calls to the bank based on the game condition for load etc.

As far as volumes go, again, using Live Update you can tweak them by track to get the right balance you are after. You will learn after some trial and error that using FMOD, the sound in the game is not always exactly the same as what you hear in creating them....just takes some time using the tools to figure out a workflow that is best for you.

According to Harven's method, I used the global parameter "engine_load", set two commands, one with the condition "not_loaded" in the range 0.10 and another with the condition "loaded" in the engine / load event. Finally I created a track in the turbo event, setting it in the range from 0.35 to 1.00 and I set the condition of "not_loaded".

"I recommended to set trigger at 0.80".
@Slavthailand In your recommendation, how should it be configured and what parameter do I have to condition it on?

If it speaks between 0 to 0.80 I will have to try it.

@Robinicus
In fact, I have been using that feature for a while now, but I still have doubts about the lag despite making some adjustments.

As for the command issue, thanks for the clarification.

But looking closely, I detached the turbo parameter from the engine folder in the preset browser, creating it in a folder called turbo and it works for me. However, in Kapitan Kriechbaum's .bank.guids files I noticed that they are in "engine / turbo". Later I will test if the turbo parameter should stay in the "engine" folder and see if the delay is due to it.

@eeldavidgt well that's too complicated for me

for me i just put it in rpm parameter and set load trigger at 0.80

@Slavthailand If you have a small picture of the condition you suggest, I appreciate it.

Although as I had previously commented to Rob, I have to check if the turbo parameter has to be in the "engine" folder and not in another "turbo" folder that I created within the preset browser, in order to establish two conditions within the rpm: load and turbo.
