I’ve seen a number of script examples involving things like
FMOD.Studio.Bus Master; float masterVolume = 1f;
How does this map to units like decibels? Is 2f +6 dB since that’s twice as loud?
Like in FMOD Studio I’m very used to thinking in terms of each gain slider going from infinity (∞) to 0 dB and then +10 dB.
What are best practices for translating this?
FMOD converts from a linear value to decibels relative to full scale (dBFS) using the equation dBFS = 20 * log10(linear), and also clips the signal at a low audibility level of -80dB. However, it’s also worth noting that Studio::Bus::setVolume, alongside other similar functions, actually apply the volume argument as a factor to the existing volume set in Studio.
@Leah_FMOD Appreciate the precise clarity, hope your answer will also help others looking. Thank you!
