Animating texture using sound - how?

Development Audio

I am sure it belongs to audio section too, so I am posting here :wink:

Is it possible (using UE 4.17 or/and 4.18) to animate texture (flashing red dot for example) using sound (when sound peaks it’s fully bright and when sound dims the texture would dim too) ?

If it is, how can I do that using BP and material parameters ? (no C++, no 3rd party plugins)

Thanks beforehand

You can drive Material Instance data using the new Audio Engine and an Envelope Follower–you can check out this guide on getting started:
