Want to animate with sound in Blender 3D? Bake sounds to F Curves like a pro (Blender 3.+)

NOTE 3.6 - The bake sounds to f-cure has moved. In the graph editor in the menu. It is under Channel - Bake Sounds to F-Curve

NOTE 4.0 - the name has changed to Sound to samples. In the graph editor in the menu. It is under Channel - Sound to Sample.
@BlenderOfficial Might redo this video soon to reflect the naming change.

Welcome to my video tutorial where I'll be teaching you how to bake sounds to animations like a pro in Blender. I'll show you how to set up your workspace, add sound to your project, and how to hear the sound while scrubbing through your timeline.

We'll dive into framerates and how to bake sound to f curves. You'll learn how to mark out the animation length and use the Attack and Decay to change the animation curve. I'll show you how to use frequency to highlight specific sounds and how to use Modifiers to modify your baked animation.

We'll also cover how to clean up baked animation, copy modifiers, and the neuaunced features of the tool. By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to take this and apply it anywhere to your Blender 3D projects with ease.
