At the core of the audio propagation system, there are two essential components: the emitter and the director. The emitter is responsible for defining user parameters and calculating instance-specific values needed for occlusion and obstruction. The director is responsible for controlling how the sound sources are processed by the audio engine and contains the majority…

When developing any type of system or feature, creating a good testing environment is essential to allow for rapid iteration (West, 2021) and debugging. I needed a controlled space for experimenting with different parameters, scenarios, and inputs. Although not comprehensive, this test environment covers the most common geometric layouts, allowing me to quickly test and…

Demonstration Video Spoilers! Overview This series of blog posts will document the development process of my GAM230 specialist practice project, “Scalable Audio Propagation.” I will break down the steps involved and explain my rationale for key development decisions. Additionally, I will discuss any issues encountered, how I overcame them, or how I plan to address…
