The record

Purpose: Amplitude is a cross-platform audio engine designed for games and supports audio for 2D, 3D, and VR/AR environments.
Data-driven authoring: JSON files define project assets, which Amplitude compiles into binary files for sound banks and runtime loading.
Audio processing: Users can customize the processing pipeline, including filters, room effects, and spatialization, and configure it per runtime platform.
Extensibility: Plugins can add custom codecs, filters, resampling algorithms, drivers, fading algorithms, and pipeline nodes.
Default audio support: The SDK provides a MiniAudio-based default driver and decodes MP3 and WAV samples by default.
Integrations: Official integrations are available for O3DE, ezEngine, Godot 4+, and Flax Engine.
Platforms: The SDK lists Android, iOS, Linux, OS X, and Windows as supported platforms.
Availability: The SDK documentation says the software is in beta with no official release yet; nightly builds are for development and are not recommended for production.
Studio status: Amplitude Studio is described as being in its Early Access Program, with complimentary access during that phase.
Studio features: Amplitude Studio provides asset browsing and editing, visual editors for pipeline graphs and curves, and a workflow to validate, save, compile, and release projects.
Free Studio limits: The planned free Studio version is limited to non-commercial users under the stated revenue threshold and excludes the pipeline editor, Playground, and release tool.
Support: The documentation directs users with installation issues to Discord and recommends Discord community support or GitHub issues for troubleshooting.
Security and compliance: The opened maker pages identify the SDK as open source under Apache-2.0 and do not state a security certification or compliance standard.
