Hello! I’ve been dealing with this problem when trying to create _ **custom sound effects** _ for when my _ **custom gun** _ is fired.

How I get my sounds is I record my game audio and fire a couple shots from a gun and then convert that recording into an mp3 audio file and then use _Audacity_ to convert it into an .Ogg file. I am also not sure if it’s necessary, but my audio is exported as _mono_ audio and at 48000Hz

Once I apply my audio into the weapon template and start the game in my live edit session, _ **the audio of the gun shot cuts off after the next bullet is fired,** _ as in, the sounds aren’t overlapping To clarify things, I exported 3 audio files with different gunshot sounds.

Is there any way I can fix this?
