This one is already too big, but shudder to think what it would be like without CAT.

Been challenging myself to limit source when designing, which has helped me better evaluate when adding additional source actually adds value.
Would love to hear how others are balancing source limitation versus layering, especially in real-time engine workflows.

A little tweak to a CAT WaveTable setup from last week's Tech Audio Chat.
Organising oscillators / modulation in groups of four channels, moving through the table indexes on all fronts for variation.

Pretty excited about this collision system I put together! I love when games put a bunch of objects around the world that you can kick around and interact with (so fun to skate into props in Tony Hawk games)
Collision sfx volume is driven by the impact intensity

I love #UnrealEngine. Again spend couple of hours try to package the new #Odium release.
I had “registered” some Metasounds for faster Load times during development… it prevented the build to work…
Still not done, but at least progress

Home again. Moving miRack phone sketches to an iPad.
Maybe the start of a little EP or something.
Itching to get back to Metasounds with the inspiration from this, though.

Dan is breaking down MetaSounds really well for beginners right now.
Starts in about 15 minutes! See y'all there!
A reminder that tomorrow morning I'll be hosting a live workshop on MetaSounds for beginners! I've updated the directions on how to join.
You will need UE5.7.1 installed and you will need to download a project with the samples I'll be using. Project files linked: musicianeer.com/metasound-bo...

Rough, sort of ambient thing in miRack (mobile VCV).
It’s more accessible in a few ways but really starting to miss Metasounds for a more precise and composed approach.

After only doing this in Metasounds for the past year, it feels a bit like cheating…

My biggest tutorial yet is now online! Talking about how I approached ambiences in Oddsparks & generally ways that I think can help designing nice ambiences. I'm showing some technical setups in #unrealengine / #metasounds but also discuss some philosophical aspects of it.

The music i'm doing for Gilgamesh Drift is very phonk influenced but with a sort of mystical / cinematic vibe. Also lofi-beats-to-parkour-to type music in the exploration zones.
...and i'm doing a lot of dynamic sound effects stuff with UE5 metasounds! Stay tuned!

the way. The version of Metron you see in this game and our previous one lives entirely within a single enormous SynthComponent (which is already nearing deprecation, having been superseded by MetaSounds - but hey, our dev cycles have been...long!)
That's great for getting a grip on perf metrics,
