this particular passage illustrates some of the particulars of Super Famicom audio design that I feel aren't properly appreciated by all the folks looking to "restore" old soundtracks with resourced/"higher quality" samples

Who will I see? ✨👀✨

Sometimes people wait for YEARS to join the union until something happens and then they see or need the value of it. I welcome the folks who join right away and the ones who think about it for quite a while just as equally. We're building a long-term project and that doesn't happen overnight.

I love talking with folks who aren't in the union about the union. I love taking their concerns and fears seriously and talking them through them. So many people understand the benefit of unions, they just have fear of reprisal and that takes some time to think through.

Here we go! Tempest 3D for all 😁

It's a binauralization plugin that can now run on ALL platforms supported by Wwise: Windows, iOS, Android, Switch, Xbox, et. al. For the FIRST time, sound designers can finally mix for a single 3D audio rendering system that sounds THE SAME everywhere! Rly looking forward your feedback! (2/2)

I'm really excited to finally share a secret thing we've been working on for the last few months: Playstation5's Tempest 3D AudioTech is coming to Wwise as a software effect! (1/2) www.audiokinetic.com/en/community...
