    Hello,

    Is it possible to use audio data (such as loudness) as an input in Shader Graph?
    What I'd like to do is have the material react to sound (such as pulsate along with a song being played).
    Thanks!

    You can make an Input such as _AudioVolume, connect it to your shader graph, and set it manually from script using material.SetFloat("_AudioVolume", volume);

    I opened the LaspVfx example now but I have no idea how it with sound files works.
    Could you help me?
    Thanks.
