When working in FMOD Studio, I like to use the 3D Preview window in the top right to listen to sounds as if they were a certain distance away. Problem is, as I browse through multiple events, the position always resets to being right on top of the listener.

I’d love a way to move the sound position puck to a location that I want and then lock it in place as I listen to more events. But I cannot find a way to do this, so I’m assuming this is a feature request.

Can this be added? It would save me a lot of time. Thanks!

This is, indeed, a feature request. I can easily see how being able to lock the 3D preview widget’s listener offset would be useful, so I’ve added it to our feature and improvement tracker.
