Workshop 2 - Attenuation
Date: 30 November 2024, 10am - 12pm
Participants will record audio for use in creating an unearthly musical instrument in Unreal Engine 5, learning practical sound recording techniques, then import and play your recordings in Unreal Engine, where you will interact with the audio.
