Hi forum.

Im experiencing some problems with my scatterer instrument.  
I got a music layer that contains 3 audio files and 2 scatterer instruments. When i press play in Fmod on the Timeline and in the Nested event, it all works fine.  
But when im in unity, it does not play the scatterer instruments. As if the were never activated.  
Does anyone know what this problem might be?

Im pretty new to Fmod, working on a schoolproject, so pardon if this is a noob question… 🙂

Best, Anders

Did you try to add a spatializer to your scatter track ?  
(just set the attenuation to “Off”)  
OR set your scatter container “min/max distance” to : 0.0 - 0.0.
