    Hi kilik!

    You asked from web?
    It is I'm sorry if it is it.
    The error had occurred in the reply to you and I worried.

    Now, The wav files mix is impossible. wav files are joinable.
    However, it is time and effort a few.
    I also recognize the problem and a mix is made to work in a future version.

    The edited result can be saved to a wav file.
    The place to save can also be used as a desktop directory although it operates by Unity.
    Since Preview youtube was added, I want you to see by all means.

    Very interesting. In your description, what does "runtime" exactly refer to ?

    hi kilik,

    Is the waveform of AudioClip displayed into a game?
    (For example, display of a communication machine)

    Then, if it is, this tool is Unity editor extension and cannot realize it.
    Acquisition of a waveform [ FC Audio Editor ] is original implementation, and the file format is limited only to wav by it.

    Hi, yann!

    "runtime" is Unity players. (Windows/Mac/Linux standalone,android,iOS,etc..)
    The playback test of the AudioClip edited by FC AudioTools was done on these Unity players.
    You will expect that there is no problem in working on the selected platform. I checked it!

    Hi,

    On Unity5.2.x, FC Audio Tools has a problem in the playback feature now.
    By scripts compiled after playback of audio, also when again to play audio, Unity editor will crash.
    I considered it to be a problem of Audio Clip API of Unity5.2.x, and it sent the bug report to Unity.
    This will not fire in the up to Unity5.1.4.

    Although it expects that it will be fixed by future Unity, the version which performed provisional revision including other change is released.
    However, probably, it may cause a memory leak.

    I thank your patience.

    FC Audio Toolsは、Unity5.2.xの場合に特定の操作をするとUnityエディタが強制終了する症状が発生します。
    サウンドをプレビュー再生後、プロジェクトのスクリプトコンパイルをおこない、再びプレビュー再生をするとUnityエディタがクラッシュしてしまいます。
    本質的にはUnityのサウンドAPIの問題と考えているのですが、修正されたバージョンがリリースされるまでもう少し時間が必要となると思います。
    この症状はUnity5.1.4までのバージョンでは発生していません。
    近日この問題への暫定対処を含めたバージョンを公開予定です。ただこの対処はメモリリークをおこす可能性があります。

    申し訳ありません。
    もうしばらくお待ちください。

    Hi,

    The crash problem of the editor by playback and script compile was fixed in Unity5.3.2p4.
    Also in Unity5.3.3, it will be released soon.
    FC Audio Tools does not recommend the use between Unity5.2.0 and 5.3.2.
    Please use Unity5.3.3 or later.

    Is there a possibility of an api for run-time use? (So audio can be manipulated by a player for eg)

    Hi lazygunn,

    There is no plan of run-time function.
    FC Audio Tools is you can use for editing in the editor mode.
    Please tell me the run time function which you want.
    In the future, I may be able to review it.

    Basically i'd like the user to be able to cut/clone segments of audio in a clip for use in rearranging it or creating new separate clips for use elsewhere. It's intended for leapmotion/vr use so the amount of user control is very fine grained, where the typical usage of this would be cutting a segment for use in a step sequencer

    Hi lazygunn,

    It's very interesting.
    Your hope is excellent. It will affect a plan.
    However, it cannot be prepared quickly now. Since there are many problems, it may be difficult for using the present code of FC Audio Tools as a practical use target in run time as it is.

    Hi lazygunn,

    It extends potentiality.
    Unity Audio Mixer cooperation is added to WaveEditor.
    Although native plug-in is not built in, you can do cooperation in a preview using plug-in and Audio Mixer.

    Thank you for the support of FC Audio Tools!

    Incoming FC Audio Tools version 2!
    It will be the first major upgrade in June. This will new tools and new features added. Of course, these will run Windows, OS X, and Linux.



    Level Adjuster
    In version 2.0 new tool, it will add Level Adjuster. It performs reproduction of a plurality of assets is a function that can adjust the sound volume. The image on the right side of the screen shot you see.

    Are you troubled by the sound effects and music volume is incorrect? Sound experts in your team, might have a different work. Do not worry even in such a case. To drop the file you want to edit to Level Adjuster window. And, while listening to each sound, moving the volume bar. The sound is immediately able to preview.
    I believe that it is difficult to adjust to listen? The tool adds RMS-based analysis capabilities, can display the magnitude of the volume in the visual. In a future version, loudness-based analysis is implemented.

    In fact, this tool is not only adjust the volume. Media player functions to listen to the asset in order also combine. It has a feature that links to audio mixer, asset folders and Wave Editor.

    Wave Editor
    Wave Editor is now to be able to edit multiple files. To open of that because the file has changed.
    Please drop the file to the window. This will you can patchwork of sound.

    Very nice audio tool! I think it will save me lots of time. I have some feature requests :

    - Make it easier/quicker to add a marker (maybe by double clicking in the marker area)
    - Make it easier/quicker to edit a marker's name (maybe by clicking on a marker's name).
    - Maker it easier/quciker to delete a marker (maybe by selecting and pressing delete)
    - Export all marker data in all audio files in one json file
    - Customizable json

    Thanks for your hard work

    Hi mrleon,
    Thank you for your request!

    The request for your marker is my study, and very good shortcuts idea.
    But customization json needs consideration.
    Please let me know your image more.

    Hi mrleon,

    In the current version (2.1.0), create a new marker by pressing the 'M' key.
    I will make a correction to show this.
    However, there is no shortcut for marker name change and marker deletion.
    The DEL key is currently used for deleting the range, and adjustment of these active objects is necessary.

I got a 2 days backup but i have to do everything what i did yesterday and today :( I dont know what happened but there is space and @ characters in directory name and space in the file name.... No console log.
    I hope it will be fixed.

    Hi MAttila,

    I apologize to you for the delay in replying to you.

    I have not seen the same behavior as your report.
    I can not return your lost time, but I will continue to investigate from now on.

    Please let me know about your using unity version and OS.
    That will be my help.

    Hi Muckel,

    FC AudioTools does not have the recording feature.
    Also, this tool does not provide runtime functionality to extend your application. (Waveform display, playback, recording, etc.)
    If you are interested, you can experience free edition.
    https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#!/content/68940

    Thank you!

    I had a question. I tried the free version and ran into every issues/questions. First of all after importing package I had to restart unity to hear playback, but that's OK. The question I have is, when I export the click with markers it seems to be set to an animation that is set to 60 FPS. Is there a way to change that on export to 30FPS?

    Regards,
    Jester

    Hi Jester,
    I am glad with your review.

    *issue
    For preview playback, you do not need to start the editor, but it sounds very strange.
    Please let me know the Unity version you are using.

    *question
    The default of AnimationClip is created as 60 fps, but FCAT does not have the function to overwrite it.
    However, I understood that the setting is very useful.
    In the next release add it to the export dialog.
    I misunderstood that it could do from the Animation window.
    If you need it now, you need to find other tools in AssetStore or change the m_SampleRate parameter in .anim file with Force Text mode.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Unity version I'm using is 5.6.2f1 (64bit) Mac running on <Metal>. When I imported the package I had Audacity open at the same time. Not sure if that could have caused it. In any case just restarting Unity fixed it. Maybe it's just specific to my setup.

    About the 60FPS the way I got around it was simply divide the number of the frame that a marker is on by 2. I think this just might be particular to my use case so might not be of value to other people. Just figured I mention it.

    Thank You for getting back.

    Regards,
    Jester

    Hi Jester,

    Thank you for your help!
    I will test if I can reproduce it.
    and, the frame rate setting of the animation clip will not be hard work for me.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    The no sound after import might have been my fault. I think I could have had the sound muted in the editor. I've recently moved to testing animation events and sound but before that I had it muted because of music always being on. It's a setting I always leave on so when I test on device music is streaming and using up the CPU. In any case since then I've ran into several occasions with no sound and it always turned out to be the mute setting I forgotten about.

    So just letting you know not to spend any time on this, in case you haven't already. It was my bad. Sorry.

    Regards,
    Jester
