Hi,  
Sometimes i’d like to have my ambience event playing within the FMOD events editor, hear it, and play a different event on top. But as soon as i select new event to start playback the previous one stops playing. Is there a way to change that temporarily so that i can tweka an event while hearing another one (in this case ambience).

Thanks.  
D.

You can open multiple event editor windows. Each time you use the menu “Windows”/“Event Editor” it will a launch a new window that can play a separate event.
