Hey. Interesting video. I am attempting to apply this concept to switching between Idle music & moving music. How would I go about doing that?

[@michaelgarydean]

Hey there. I think you're looking for the Quartz clock. This is designed for sequencing interactive music between different parts while staying tightly synced via the audio thread. You could in theory do it just within Metasounds, but I would say the Quartz clock design allows for bigger, more robust systems. I have a few basic videos about Quartz in the my playlist titled, "Procedural Audio & Interactive Music in Unreal Engine 5" if you want to check them out.
