@Ian_Fisch Awesome thread, loved it

@BenElliottSound Holy shit this is awesome 😂 I will use this lesson later in life, thank you for your service

@CChowell_ Thanks Carlos! It’s been fun

@spiceraudio Great that you're doing full walkthroughs of your work Michael! I imagine how revolutionary it must have been to have the idea to include background crowd audio. It just adds to the immersion capabilities of video
