Mark Jackson, a Senior Pipeline TD working for a major games developer posts on a couple of “hidden” features for handling audio with Autodesk Maya 2011’s Camera Sequencer additions.
“I wanted to point out a couple of hidden features for Audio handling that aren’t in the docs and that kind of slipped into Maya2011 via the CameraSequencer upgrades. The audio node in Maya used to just have 2 main attrs, path and offset, that was all you could do, point it to a wav and set the start time. If you now look at an audio node in 2011 there’s a ton of new attributes to control the behaviour of the audio. Unfortunately most of this is hidden unless you’re using the AttributeEditor or CameraSequencer, in which case RMB on a sound you’ll get access to Mute, that’s about it. In the Trax sound is still just a simple, poorly supported add-on….. or is it?”
