SoundFX is a simple extension for Unity's built-in AudioSource component. It handles common audio scenarios like playing overlapping sounds (ex footsteps) and toggling sounds on/off (ex motor).

It's a lean middle-ground between using AudioSource directly and using a full-blown audio manager like Sonity/Wwise/FMOD.

## Install

SoundFX is available on the [Unity Asset Store](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/slug/359522) and can be installed using the Package Manager.

## Features

* Play overlapping clips (using an AudioSource pool)
* Simplified settings (still the same settings as AudioSource but better organized)
* 3D audio settings are stored in a re-usable ScriptableObject asset
* Preview in edit mode
* Fade a sound in/out with SoundFXTrack to avoid volume pops

## Code

* Flexible API
* Lean codebase, easy to read and extend

## Details

* Unity 6+
* Any platform
* No extra dependencies
