Absolutely BASED.

Anything that's not Core Audio (Mac) will collapse eventually. Amazing how Windows keep shooting itself with bad software.

Well, this is a common problem devs encounter because, when you're in charge of the music, the question is not "You like this?". Taste is absolutely subjective, and there's a TON of music that you might like, but at the end of the day, the game is the one who makes the talking.

The real question is, "Does this work for what I'm trying to achieve?" and that usually leads to an answer you might not like.

Devs that don't have a composer needs to think in terms of music functionality instead of taste. And even if you have a composer, this one needs to work the same way. If your composer says "You like this?", then probably is not a good composer.

Also there is a lot of trial and error if you're doing this on your one. That's why composing requires first playing the game, understanding everything around it and THEN making the music.

This is actually one of my biggest fears at the moment. You must take care of your hearing as you would your heart. Having your ears checked by an otolaryngologist twice a year is absolutely non-negotiable. Also, wearing ear plugs for almost everything is essential.

If you do that, your hearing will be fine for a long time, my friend! Look at engineers like Andy Wallace or Dave Pensado. They're really legendary old wizards who would lose both legs before they'd lose their hearing.

My best wishes to you!

Sidechain. Everything.
