AudioStreamPlayerClipper3D: Advanced Audio Control for Godot (3D)

Enhance your audio capabilities in Godot with AudioStreamPlayerClipper3D. This plugin provides powerful audio clipping control, allowing you to precisely set the start and end points of your audio clips directly in 3D space, offering flexibility beyond Godot's native options.

Why use this plugin?
With AudioStreamPlayerClipper3D, you have full control over audio playback, with the ability to clip audio in real time and adjust it for various audio events in your game. This is especially useful for dynamic and repetitive sounds, like character footsteps, where you can alternate between different footsteps sounds and program the clip playback in a more natural and realistic way.

Key Features

• Precise Audio Clipping – Set the exact start and end points of your audio clips.
• Footstep Sound Variation – Create dynamic footstep sounds by alternating between different audio clips for each movement of your character.
• Full Platform Support, including web, ensuring that your cuts and audio settings are preserved accurately across all platforms.
• Quick Testing in the Editor – Test the audio directly in the inspector without needing to run the game, making it easier to refine your sounds.
• Custom Playback Order – You can program the playback to play one audio channel at a time or play the clipped sounds in any order you prefer.
