The new technology is not in the software

Good luck!

This wasn't very fair, considering he specifically stated "audio tools" and C# seems like a perfectly reasonable platform to implement tools. In fact if you consider the very first line of the front-page description ("tsugi provides consultancy, research and development services to the video games industry") then it should be quite obvious that we're probably talking about tools for game audio production.

Besides, C# is a fine language.

you've got operator priority mixed up methinks. You should read it like this: "new (technology start-up)". As opposed to "new agricultural start-up".
/* if I would want to go down nitpicking road I would complain that "new start-up" might be pleonasm */

Anyhow, C# is fine, .NET is fine as well and all the best wishes for Tsugi.

Sorry for the misunderstanding if it is meant as urosh says. My Bad.

Second, there is nothing wrong with .NET or C# (I'm a C# developer myself, see also my VST.NET open source project) but WinForms is not exactly "New Technology" - that is what I meant with my remark.

I read it like juiced up marketing speak for really old stuff...
If they had said WPF (SL5) or XNA, that would be a whole lot more true to my ears.

Hope that clears it up a bit, meant no disrespect, just called out my bullshit bingo!

FWIW, a bit of background on Nick Fournel and Tsugi...

Long gone are the days you could consider a new programming language or framework "new technology". People still do cutting edge research in fortran, and boring CRUD applications in Java.

It does seem quite an interesting job though. Consider synthesising a sampled footstep so it doesn't sound repetitive, but still sounds like a sample, or the sound of something scraping along a wall, copying the physics of a system and reproducing the correct sound.
I hope they sell it for far less than FMOD when it's done though:.

Yeah. That would really spice up the current gaming experience. The next step in its evolution. I heard Mass Effect 3 already uses something similar.


Btw. Tsugi QuickAudio looks fantastic! Just what i would've needed in my last gamesounddesign project. Which unfortunately ended yesterday
