This tutorial covers sounds that do not have a point of origin, like 3 Dimensional sounds. Things like background music or ambiance in your Age.



Getting Started......

First, if you have not already or do not know how to, you need to read my tutorial on 3D Sounds so that you will know how to put in a sound emitter.

That's it.
