เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“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.”

ซอฟต์แวร์นี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“We estimate leaving Early Access and moving into 1.0 in Q2 2017.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“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”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“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.”

ซอฟต์แวร์นี้จะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

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

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“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.”
