LensLabs Audio Manager

LensLabs Audio Manager is a lightweight, code-first audio system for Unity that gives your project production-ready sound in minutes, with zero required scripting to get started.

Add a single AudioManager component to your first scene and it handles the rest: crossfaded music playback, pooled 2D/3D sound effects that scale to any burst size without hitches, and persistent volume/mute settings — all through a small, documented API you call from your own code.

Key features:

• Singleton AudioManager, persists automatically across scene loads — add it once.
• Music playback with crossfade and fade-out, using two internal channels so you can transition between tracks smoothly.
• Pooled SFX (2D and 3D) that grows on demand under load and never drops or cuts off simultaneous sounds.
• Volume and mute control for Music, SFX, and Master, applied live even to sounds already playing.
• Works out of the box with plain AudioSources — no AudioMixer required. Assign an AudioMixer later and the same API automatically switches to mixer-driven volume control.
• Settings (volume, mute) persist automatically via PlayerPrefs, namespaced so they won't collide with your own keys.
• ScriptableObject-based Sound Library and Sound Definition assets, with custom inspectors (including in-editor clip preview) for organizing audio without touching code.
• One-click "Build Demo Scene" tool generates a fully working demo scene, sample Sound Library, and volume/mute UI — a fast way to see everything working, and a reference for wiring up your own UI.
• Full documentation: setup guide, API reference, AudioMixer setup guide, and FAQ.

Requirements: Unity 6000.4.10f1 or newer. No third-party dependencies — built entirely on core Unity APIs (AudioSource, AudioMixer, ScriptableObject, uGUI).

Known limitation: only one music track is "active" at a time by design, to keep the crossfade model simple. If you need independently-mixed simultaneous music layers (e.g. adaptive/stem-based music), that's out of scope for this version.
