為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Sound Flare is a large piece of software, with many features left to implement. Getting it into the hands of consumers will allow us to see how people are using the software and prioritize certain features based off consumer feedback. Since it is the first audio software of its kind, there are many variables and uncertainties with development and design, and so having user feedback will be extremely beneficial to us.」

這款軟體的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「We estimate leaving Early Access and moving into 1.0 in Q2 2017.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「Sound Flare is missing many features that we plan on adding in the next few releases. Right now, it is useful in positioning multiple audio sources in a 3D environment, but we plan on turning it into a full featured DAW as we continue working on it. The main features left to implement are:
- Removing the limit for number of sound sources in the scene
- Saving and loading scenes
- Recording and editing clips from within the editor
- More precise rendering of the sound wave when zoomed in
- Adding multiple clips to one track and dragging them around freely
- Support for other VR headsets
- Support for other audio file formats」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「Right now, you can browse local files for audio clips, and then drag them into the scene. Up to 7 audio clips can be loaded into the tracks at once. These audio clips can be dragged forward and backward in time to line them up. You can position each audio clip in 3D space and hear how they sound from that position immediately. You can also adjust the volume of each clip and mute or solo them. Once the audio is positioned, you can save the mix as a WAV file for listening or further editing with other software.

Additionally, you can load a 3D video into the scene and it will play around you, along with the audio clips.」

軟體售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「The price will increase as we add new features. The final price will reflect that of a fully featured DAW.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「The community will use it and help us get a better idea on which features are most important. This allows us to prioritize what to work on for the full release.」
