The sound that played so many times (the break rock sound) I mapped to a different audio bus and put a compressor and limiter on it so that I would always stay just a little below the explosion and tesla coil sounds. Was it too loud for you or could you still hear it?

Sorry, I mean in my own game, it was too loud, but I solved it by let objects that play the same sound share a single audiostream that can play polyphony. Yours is alright now, no loud sound.

Ah cool, no sweat. But also I wanted to share my cool audio solution. Basically if you only play sounds from one audiostream player with a big polyphony then it sounds flat because there’s no dorectional audio. But if you play it where each node has it’s own player, it lags. so what I did is make a grid of audiostream players I think it was 5x7 then whenever a rock breaks I map its break sound to the closest streamplayer. That way I have the best of both worlds with a middle ground. Each stream player as a polyphony of like 50 I think? Either way arbitrary number. Though I did crash someone’s 8GB of ram mac sooooo. maybe I should’ve gone for less.

Interesting method there. I’m still new to Godot and never really thought about the sound flat stuff before. Maybe next project (or post jam update)
