Hello there 😃

I want to subscribe game logic and UI animations to the bpm of a music track. What would be the best way to do this with FMOD?

Thanks for your help!

The best way to handle this is to use [event callbacks](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/studio-guide.html#event-callbacks) with the Studio API, which will allow you to receive a callback on an event’s timeline reaching a beat and/or bar, based on the tempo set by [tempo markers](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/glossary.html#tempo-marker) in Studio.

Based on your posting history, you seem to be using Unity - our [Timeline Callbacks Unity scripting example](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/examples-timeline-callbacks.html) demonstrates how to do this with Unity. If you’re not using Unity, you can take a look at the “music\_callbacks” Studio API example included with the FMOD Engine installer instead.

Thanks for your reply! Sorry I forgot to mention it bur this is actually about Unreal Engine. Where can I find documentation on the music\_callbacks?

The music\_callbacks example isn’t Unreal specific, but can be found in the Studio API examples included with the [FMOD Engine installer](https://www.fmod.com/download#fmodengine), which are located in the install directory at “./api/studio/examples”. For Unreal-specific info, our [Unreal documentation on callbacks](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/unreal/user-guide.html#callbacks) provides a brief guide on using timeline callbacks with Blueprints.
