New Audio Engine: Quick-Start Guide

Hi, I’m trying to build a basic system to animate the mouth of my characters using the envelope follower.

If I just have one character in a scene it works well, but if I have more than one then they all move their mouths together because they all use the same envelope follower preset.

Is there a way I can automatically create a new envelope follower for each character? There’s no limit to how many characters can be in a scene so all I can think of is to create a new one for each character like I am trying to do in this image, but it doesn’t work at all!

Instead of using the Envelope Follower Source Effect, you can use the Envelope Follower Delegate that is available on each Audio Component. Your two characters just need to be speaking on separate Audio Components. For lip-flap implementation, you can just put an Audio Component on the head/face/mouth of each of your characters and use that Audio Component to drive your lip-flap. Then just make sure you play all your dialog sounds on that Audio Component.
