Hook up to FMOD mixerthread

[apfelbaum]

Hi,
I couldn’t find anything yet, maybe I overlooked something. Is it possible to hookup somehow to the FMOD update loop to do audio related things? I thought, as this is already async and in a fixed timestep, it would make more sense to calculate audio related things in this mainloop before all individual audio things are processed by FMOD.

Best regards

Hi,

We do have some callbacks that may provide the behavior you are looking for:
FMOD Engine | Core API Reference - System

• FMOD_SYSTEM_CALLBACK_PREMIX
  Called from the mixer thread before it starts the next block.
• FMOD_SYSTEM_CALLBACK_POSTMIX
  Called from the mixer thread after it finishes a block.

FMOD Engine | Studio API Reference - System

• FMOD_STUDIO_SYSTEM_CALLBACK_PREUPDATE
  Called at the start of the main Studio update. For async mode this will be on its own thread.
• FMOD_STUDIO_SYSTEM_CALLBACK_POSTUPDATE
  Called at the end of the main Studio update. For async mode this will be on its own thread.

Hope this helps!
