*Alien: Isolation *is such a cool game - hellishly scary, mind haha, but super cool - and the sound design is just fantastic. It’s like being in the first movie. Aliens is awesome too though - it’s like Terminator 2, imo, one of the few franchises where the second film was as good as, and in some ways better than, the original.
Interesting solution there as well. If understand it, is the 4-shot burst the minimum number of shots for your rifle? Are you still separating the shots into head and tail?
How are you wanting your effects to change the sound in the DAW?
