"Intuitive tool for quick audio implementation"

4/5

What do you like best about FMOD?

FMOD is a very powerful tool that let's you implement audio into videogames faster than other middleware software. I has a graphic interface that makes it very easy to tune different elements of an asset. Tuning loops and adaptive music is also very easy with FMOD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FMOD?

It lacks some functionalities that are offered by the competition. It is limited to 8 listeners which could be a problem for some users. One tool I miss is an included synth, which again it's offered in the competitors software.

Also, because they tried to make a friendly and pretty interface panel, a lot of tools are hidden in menus, which can become annoying at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FMOD:

The graphic interface lets you tune assets like no other middleware, but has different tools than it's competitors, so I advice checking what you need before you commit to either software. Either way you can't go wrong with FMOD as it really makes it easy no tune different aspects on an asset.

It is also wise to compare licensing price with other competitors as different companies offer different types of licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FMOD solving and how is that benefiting you?

The graphic interface makes it easy to fine-tune sequences of sounds. also looping and doing adaptive music with several tracks is quite easy to set.

An example of this was when we needed to set weapon loops. It needed 2 states: with and without ammo, and it was a charm to set smooth loops with FMOD's interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
