Interactive Games Audio

Game soundtracks have become sophisticated and more complex in recent years, the techniques and technologies that implement audio for video games and other media that utilise interactive audio have also become more and more powerful. Rather than simply playing back audio data, these systems include sophisticated processing systems that can mix and edit music inside of the game engine itself, in real-time. States play a significant role in these games; they change in response to the events the user triggers in the game. They can also affect the audio and music tracks inside of the engine, with specific states determining the next track to play, either through one track playing after the other, or a smooth dynamic transition between the two different tracks will lead the player into believing that the previous track was a part of one entire track.
