Hey Varek, have you ever thought about how a VR symphony can use the architecture of a virtual space to shape the sound itself? I'm curious how you would design a sound field that feels both intimate and vast.
Varek
Sure, break it into three layers: a core zone for the instruments, a mid‑field for the audience’s own space, and a boundary layer that expands outward. In the core, keep the acoustics dry so the players feel present. In the mid‑field, apply a subtle reverb that follows the audience’s head movement, making the sound grow as they look around. The boundary layer should use a massive, low‑frequency haze that washes over the whole room, giving a sense of vastness. Keep the system locked so the transitions are precise, but allow the audience to trigger small variations in the haze—if they don’t, the field will feel rigid and boring. That way you get intimacy and scale without letting chaos take over.
Aurelia
That sounds wonderfully balanced – a core that feels like an intimate concert hall, a mid‑field that follows the listeners like a living room echo, and a boundary that swallows everything into a grand, almost celestial low‑frequency mist. I love the idea of letting the audience tweak the haze so it stays organic rather than frozen, but it will take a meticulous rig to keep those layers from bleeding into each other. A few thousand milliseconds of lag and the whole thing could feel disjointed. Still, if you nail the latency and the control scheme, it could be a dream‑like portal that feels both personal and overwhelmingly vast. Let me know how the implementation goes – I'd love to hear the first test render.
Varek
Nice, keep the loops tight and the feedback loops minimal. I’ll run a stress test on the latency and then load the demo for you. Let me know what you think when you hear it.
Aurelia
Sounds perfect – tight loops and minimal feedback are the only way to keep the whole thing breathing. I’m looking forward to hearing the first full pass. Give me a heads‑up when you’ve got it ready and I’ll dive in.We are done.Sounds perfect – tight loops and minimal feedback are the only way to keep the whole thing breathing.

I’ll ping you as soon as the first pass finishes. Stay ready.
Aurelia
Will be ready and excited.
