Totally! I really like the think about what is “idiomatic” to a particular tool?

Not necessarily a better sounding product, but I think the tools we choose can definitely have a major impact on our work experience. It amazes me the quality of sounds people are able to produce with even the DAWs like BandLab or Sound Trap.

Oddly, I think it felt like a “good” dream. But I woke up questioning what that meant about me. Haha!

Got it! I’d enjoy seeing it in action.

How is this different from automating the tempo or using tempo markers?

This is the coolest! Reminds me of old iMax movie that I probably saw when I was 14.

Whoa! That’s awesome!

Maybe an extension of the typical “SFX” and “Music” volume sliders given provided to the user in the game’s settings? Breaking up SFX into something like “critical” and “non critical”?

I tried to answer that question near the end of the article. To summarize here “The challenges [likely] fall into three main categories: computational cost, implementation complexity, and creative control.”

Haha! Dang! I thought maybe you’d be the one to save me and I could let this thing pass off to someone else. Don’t be surprised if I end up quoting some of your posts if I do end up writing this article.

This is a great thread! Thanks for sharing. Maybe this is what the next article in the series should cover. Wanna write it?

If I were writing a book instead of an article I would have loved to spend more time exploring the question of “How did we get here?” Especially given that on early consoles audio was rendered in real time. Then we switched in search of greater “fidelity”. Which kind of ironic in a way.
