Audio Random Container fundamentals

This page describes the audio concepts and terminology that you should understand before you use the Audio Random Container to create a randomized audio playlist.

The concepts you must know are the audio cycle and the AudioSource API exceptions.

Audio cycle

An audio cycle is the full audio clip list length. If the list has three audio clips, an audio cycle is three clips.

AudioSource API

Use the AudioSource APIs to start, pause, and stop an Audio Random Container. This is similar to when you use the AudioSource APIs to play, pause, and stop an Audio Clip, but with the following exceptions:

isPlaying returns true when the Audio Random Container plays an audio clip through an audio source.
AudioSource.Play behaves differently depending on whether you set the Audio Random Container to Manual or Automatic. When set to Manual, the AudioSource.Play triggers a new instance in the Audio Clip list based on the Playback mode.
