The lines are becoming increasingly blurred between traditional music production workflows and systems that enable content creation and mixing to take place directly in VR. In this panel we muse the question - What is the future role of game engines in the music production pipeline? How can game audio engines change the recording and mixing paradigms of commercial and home studios? What are the new creative possibilities? What could it mean for the consumer? In this open session of the Abbey Road Spatial Audio Forum, leading experts in music production, virtual and augmented reality, composition and game audio will come together to discuss and explore the current challenges and new possibilities for music production using game engines.
