What’s The Deal With Procedural Game Audio?

Guest contribution by Martin Roth We've all heard of the promises of procedural game audio. A veritable Valhalla where sounds are created out of thin air, driven by the game engine, eliminating the need for huge sample libraries and tedious recording. Sounds great!
