Are you struggling with your sounds and want them to have that nice fade in and out that makes all the difference??

Then you are looking for Debeat: a simple but effective library for Audio support

Try the HTML5 Demo

Integration

Add the mixer.go

Create a script controller

local mixer = require("debeat.mixer")
local queue = require("debeat.queue")

function init(self)
	msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")

	self.sfx_btn = queue.create("btn", {gating=0.3, behaviour=queue.TYPE_RANDOM, min_offset=2})
	self.sfx_btn.add(msg.url("/sounds#sfx_btn1"))
	self.sfx_btn.add(msg.url("/sounds#sfx_btn2"))
	self.sfx_btn.add(msg.url("/sounds#sfx_btn3"))
end

function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	if action_id == hash("sfx") and action.released then
		self.sfx_btn.play()
		
	elseif action_id == hash("play") and action.released then
		mixer.play(msg.url("/sounds#track_ingame"))
	elseif action_id == hash("stop") and action.released then
		mixer.stop(msg.url("/sounds#track_ingame"))
	elseif action_id == hash("drop") and action.released then
		mixer.set_gain(msg.url("/sounds#track_ingame"), 0.5)
	
	elseif action_id == hash("mute") and action.released then
		mixer.set_group_gain(hash("master"), 0)
	elseif action_id == hash("unmute") and action.released then
		mixer.set_group_gain(hash("master"), 1)
	
	end
end

And Enjoy!

Nice! Thank you for sharing Adam!

Some feedback:

  • I think you should have an example folder in the project where you show how it’s integrated and how it works.
  • Perhaps also an HTML5 build?
  • I’d like to have some documentation on the public functions
  • What do the different config values in the readme actually mean?
  • And what are their types (I’m guessing numbers?) and valid range?

Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely add LDoc and flesh out the readme.
Regarding example I first have to find some nice sounds without licensing issues…

Generate some sounds using one of the tools here: Tools and resources for Game Jammers

There’s also several sites with free music (often for non-commercial use). I’ve used some chip-tune music by Ozzed for Mini Mega Party.

Update:

  • Added new examples folder containing a mixer setup. Try the HTML5 Demo
  • Added LDoc and improved Documentation in readme.md
  • Patch version with bugfixes to initial gain and finished sounds.

Version 2.2.0 has been released adding support for gain variation and a reset of queues.

Also events can now be sent using the shorthand function event(hash|string)
