Hey there, I have a couple more questions I had about things.
I'm wondering if there's an easy way to fade out and stop my music. I am using the stop method from code but it stops abruptly so there's no fade out happening. I guess I could just start another track in the playlist and get a crossfade effect automatically but I think I'd like to stop the music completely (with a fade out) and then start another track after a few seconds. Is there an easy way to do that? I know there is a fade out method but if I use that will I need to remember to fade the volume back up every time I start another track?
Another question is if I have an object that constantly is emitting a sound (with a looped clip), how do I stop the sound later? I'm thinking I'll have to start the sound in code and get a reference to it, then I'll have to stop that reference later at some point. Is that the best way?
And finally, if I have some rain ambience that is always playing should that typically be a sound group? Right now I have it as a sound group on an "Ambience" bus. I'd like to deafen that sound a bit when the player goes indoors. Do I have to manage the volume to do that or is there a prefab I can add to the mixer to deafen it? I'd rather not mess with the volume because I'd like that to be tied to the player's volume setting in-game. Any tips?
