The documentation is good, but there is no search. And it can be a little difficult to find what section to look in.
For example, I was recently trying to find information on how to set rolloff. Searching the forums gave nothing because I was searching for falloff (I didn't know the lingo). I thought I might need to use Audio mixer groups. And so I tried to find help on the Bus Control. It took 10 minutes to find it down the bottom of the group mixer help. Once I found it, the information was very brief. Eventually after clicking on every possible thing in master audio, I found that I can set the rolloff directly on the sound variation.
I am not sure what the best way is to make the documentation more useful, but a couple suggestions:
- Provide a search feature
- Have an Index page that lists every feature. This would allow you to navigate the documentation bottom up, rather than just top down.
- Overlap some details on Unity sound features. Master audio is what I use to manage my sounds. I want to find all my sound answers here. Even if that is just a redirection to the unity documentation.
- Links to the videos from the documentation. Otherwise, you don't know they exist.
This is a relatively minor issue. But something I have struggled with on a number of occasions, probably due to my low level of sound knowledge. I have not found anything I can't do in Master Audio. But if I can't find it, I can't use.
