The Unity native audio plug-in SDK lets you develop custom audio plug-ins for Unity. You can use this SDK to extend the audio capabilities of Unity and create advanced audio processing solutions tailored to your project's needs. Examples of custom audio plug-ins you can create include audio effects and audio spatializers.
The native audio plug-in system consists of two parts:
-
The native audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) plug-in
-
The managed graphical user interface (GUI)
Refer to the following pages to learn more about how to create an audio plug-in, customize the plug-in's GUI, and access useful examples.

Important files your DSP and GUI code uses
The file has the necessary structures, types, and function declarations required to create a custom audio plug-in.
AudioPluginInterface.hBoth native DSP and GUI DLLs can contain multiple plug-ins. To add multiple plug-in effects within the same DLL, Unity provides additional code to handle the effect definition and parameter registration in a unified manner:
AudioPluginUtil.hAudioPluginUtil.cpp
If you want your DLLs to contain multiple effects, include in your code.
AudioPluginUtil.h
