What it does
Godot Audio is an agent skill from gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills. Play and mix audio in Godot 4.7: AudioStreamPlayer (2D/3D variants), audio buses with volume/mute and effects, music vs SFX routing, db/linear volume, and precise sync-to-beat playback timing. Use when playing sounds or music in a Godot project, routing AudioStreamPlayer nodes to buses, adjusting bus volume via AudioServer, or syncing gameplay to the beat.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/buses-and-effects.md`).
It sits in Game Development, covering Game development. It works with Godot. The repository describes itself as: 74 game-dev skills for AI coding agents — Godot, Unity, Unreal, Phaser, PixiJS, three.js, Bevy, pygame, LÖVE, Roblox.

Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0a70cfc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are gdscript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Godot Audio loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- godot-audio
- description
- Play and mix audio in Godot 4.7: AudioStreamPlayer (2D/3D variants), audio buses with volume/mute and effects, music vs SFX routing, db/linear volume, and precise sync-to-beat playback timing. Use when playing sounds or music in a Godot project, routing AudioStreamPlayer nodes to buses, adjusting bus volume via AudioServer, or syncing gameplay to the beat.
Godot Audio (4.x)
Play SFX and music, route them through buses, control volume in decibels, and time gameplay to the beat. Targets Godot 4.7.
When to use
- Use when playing sound effects or music, routing audio to buses (Master/Music/SFX), adjusting volume/mute from code, adding bus effects (reverb, compressor), positional 3D audio, or syncing events to music.
When not to use: engine-agnostic audio design (adaptive music structure, mixing
philosophy, ducking patterns) → audio-design; importing/encoding assets outside Godot.
Core workflow
- Pick the player node:
AudioStreamPlayer— non-positional (music, UI, global SFX).AudioStreamPlayer2D/AudioStreamPlayer3D— positional; volume/pan from distance.
- Assign an
AudioStreamtostream(.oggfor music/loops,.wavfor short SFX) andplay(). Setautoplayfor music that starts with the scene. - Route to a bus. Set the player's
busto a named bus (e.g."Music","SFX"). Define buses in the Audio panel (bottom dock); each can have volume, mute, solo, and effects. - Control volume in dB, not linear (audio is logarithmic).
0 dB= unchanged,-80 dB≈ silent. Convert withlinear_to_db/db_to_linear. - Drive volume/mute from code with
AudioServerby bus index. - For rhythm, compute precise playback time using output latency compensation.
Patterns
1. One-shot SFX (fire-and-forget)
@onready var sfx: AudioStreamPlayer = $Sfx # stream assigned in the editor
func play_jump() -> void:
sfx.pitch_scale = randf_range(0.95, 1.05) # slight variation avoids fatigue
sfx.play()
# For many overlapping copies, use an AudioStreamPlayer with an
# AudioStreamPolyphonic stream, or spawn short-lived players and free on `finished`.2. Set a bus's volume and mute via AudioServer
func set_music_volume(linear_0_to_1: float) -> void:
var bus := AudioServer.get_bus_index("Music")
# Convert a 0..1 slider to decibels; clamp avoids -inf at 0.
AudioServer.set_bus_volume_db(bus, linear_to_db(maxf(linear_0_to_1, 0.0001)))
func toggle_sfx(muted: bool) -> void:
AudioServer.set_bus_mute(AudioServer.get_bus_index("SFX"), muted)3. Crossfade between two music tracks
@onready var a: AudioStreamPlayer = $MusicA
@onready var b: AudioStreamPlayer = $MusicB
func crossfade_to(stream: AudioStream, secs := 1.5) -> void:
b.stream = stream
b.volume_db = -40.0
b.play()
var tw := create_tween().set_parallel(true)
tw.tween_property(a, "volume_db", -40.0, secs) # fade out current
tw.tween_property(b, "volume_db", 0.0, secs) # fade in next
tw.chain().tween_callback(a.stop)
var tmp := a; a = b; b = tmp # swap roles4. Beat-accurate timing (compensate for output latency)
@onready var music: AudioStreamPlayer = $Music
func get_playback_time() -> float:
# Add time since the last audio mix, subtract output latency, for sub-frame accuracy.
var t := music.get_playback_position() + AudioServer.get_time_since_last_mix()
return t - AudioServer.get_output_latency()Show full SKILL.md (180 more words)Show less
Pitfalls
- Treating volume as linear.
volume_db/set_bus_volume_dbare decibels. Settingvolume_db = 0.5is nearly full volume, not half. Map sliders withlinear_to_db. linear_to_db(0.0)is-inf. Clamp the linear value to a small minimum (e.g.0.0001) before converting, or special-case 0 → mute.- Bus name typos fail quietly.
get_bus_index("Muisc")returns-1; calls then error or no-op. Match the exact bus name from the Audio panel. - Short SFX cut off when the same player is retriggered. Use separate players, an
AudioStreamPolyphonic, orAudioStreamPlayerper-shot freed onfinished. - Music doesn't loop unless the import/stream loop is enabled (
.oggimport has a Loop option;AudioStreamWAVhasloop_mode). - Syncing to
get_playback_position()alone is jittery — it updates per audio mix, not per frame; addget_time_since_last_mix()and subtractget_output_latency(). - 3D audio inaudible → no
AudioListener3D/Camera3Dto hear it, ormax_distance/ attenuation too tight, or wrong bus muted.
