Hi! Is it possible to set a singular instances of an event to a virtual voice when the volume falls below a threshold? We’d like this to happen when the music is muted or when ambience emitters are no longer heard.

FMOD Studio automatically initializes with `FMOD_INIT_VOL0_BECOMES_VIRTUAL` which means if an event’s master track reaches -oodB (aka muted) then it will automatically become virtual. You can check this by calling `isVirtual()` on the event instance.
