well check it out, fmod has a way where you can specify where a sound is
coming from in 3d coordinates, and it manipulates the sound in software to
make it sound like its coming from that location (well... if you have stereo
output anyhow haha).
It's actually really cool, its how in games things sound like they are
coming from your left, or behind you.
i think it would be really cool in our game cause you could hear a music box
playing off to the left faintly and as you walked towards it, it would get
louder.
It would be a neat effect and we could maybe even lead people places by
sound alone
::shrug:: :P
