Status Quo

In Conclusion

• Sound design is part of interaction design — not something added “on top.”

• Confirm stakeholder buy-in and integrate sound into the beginning of the design process.

• The proper mix of beautiful sound and well-timed silence will make for happier customers.

• Take the time to test and tune. When that isn’t possible, deemphasize the correlation.

• Don’t let app store reviews rule your life! You will never make everyone happy all the time,especially with sound.

• When in doubt, leave it out.

• Play. Fail. Iterate.

• Grizzled C/C++ Veterans: Optimize and improve our base code

• Audio Programmers: Make more nodes and port from other open audio libraries

• Swift Trailblazers: Help us try to make audio feel as “Swifty” as possible

• Bright-eyed Optimists: We want to see what you dream up

• Bloggers / Educators: Help us use playgrounds as a platform for building understanding of audio fundamentals
