Unreal Engine 5 Audio Proficiency *(Rate your comfort level with UE5 Audio Systems)1 - Asset Import: I just import WAVs and drop them in the level.2 - Basic: I use Sound Cues for randomization and modulation (pitch/volume).2 - Basic: I use Sound Cues for randomization and modulation (pitch/volume).3 - Intermediate: I use Sound Attenuation settings, Reverb Volumes, and Audio Volumes.4 - Advanced: I build procedural audio graphs using MetaSounds and use Quartz for timing.5 - Expert: I write custom C++ audio classes or optimize DSP for low-latency performance.
