Technical Notes

SoundBank Explanation

• For grouped sounds, make them start with the same name, then append _numerical-index to the end, so WALK_1, WALK_2
• The SoundBank is separated into Name, Path, Volume, Roll-Off, Reference-Distance, Max-Distance

Requirements:

• Java 1.8 - any Java version after that works fine as well
