Sound Environment

Accessed via Sound Environment in the Mission Specs dialog.

Applies an environmental reverb effect to in-game sound effects and messages. Select a preset from the list as a starting point, then adjust the individual parameters to taste.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
VolumeOverall level of the reverb effect mixed in with the dry signal. Higher values make the environment sound more pronounced.
DampingHow quickly high frequencies are absorbed as the reverb tail decays. Higher damping produces a warmer, more muffled reverb, as if the environment has soft or absorptive surfaces.
Decay timeHow long the reverb tail rings out after a sound stops, in seconds. Longer values simulate large or reflective spaces such as hangars or caverns; shorter values suggest small or dampened rooms.
