4 years ago Seconding @andykorth, used the plugin when it was a separate SDK now confused when installing via package manager: Resonance Audio appears in Audio settings under 'Spatializer Plugin' and 'Ambisonic Decoder Plugin' but there's no Resonance Audio Source component available... do you want us to still use the SDK package from here?
Clarification on this would be really helpful (not only here but primarily in the documentation) even if you are putting Resonance to bed from Unity 2020 onwards. Unity 2019.4 will be supported for the next two years...
I'm looking to get started with Resonance Audio in Unity and I'm noticing a couple of things:
The latest version in the package manager is 2.0.0 with a relatively recent date of 2019-11-04. The version before that is 1.18.3.
See: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.google.resonance.audio@2.0/changelog/CHANGELOG.html
The package manager points you to documentation here, which seems quite outdated: https://resonance-audio.github.io/resonance-audio/develop/unity/getting-started
It suggests you install (additional?) packages from the github and points you to version 1.2.1 dated April 5th, 2018. Version 1.2.1 is much smaller than 1.18.3 and also much smaller than 2.0.0. Do I mix and match Unity package manager versions and SDK downloads? Do I only need one or the other?
The documentation getting-started page seems fairly out of date. I can stumble through, but the provided audio files don't preview if Ambisonic is checked in the AudioClip import settings in Unity. The demos don't seem to produce stereo sound on Unity 2019.3.x.
I'm not sure if this is an installation issue on my part or if 2019.x is unsupported. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
