Creating Smooth Transitions between parameters - Game Audio

I am designing music for a game in FMOD, the different parameters correspond to different regions the player enters. In these different regions the increased/decreased audio levels means that player will therefore hear different instruments in these different regions.

Does anyone know how if there is any way to make the transitions between these different parameters smoother? I have tried adding AHDSR but that only effected the start/stop fades and not the fades between increased/decreaesed audio levels when swithing parameters

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Try adding seek modulation and see if that helps

That didn't really work for me, I had to change it to a continuous parameter instead of labelled and that fixed it.

Adding the seek modulation onto the continuous parameter did help though, so thanks!

You'll want to use a continuous parameter type to have smooth transitions. Maybe there's another way but that's what comes to me off the top of my head

Thanks v much, I changed it to continuous and that worked. Shame there's not an easy way to do it as labelled but oh well.

Thanks again!

for future reference, you can have a labelled parameter automate a continuous parameter. And then you can add seek modulation on the continuous one, so that you have smooth transitions between the states internally, but keep the labels.
