Mixthesia: Re-imagining what music mixing could mean in VR
Mixthesia is a student-pitch project at CMU ETC that is discovering intuitive interactions in VR that help novice musicians better understand song mixing tools and concepts.
Our aim is to prototype and discover what mixing could mean in VR and use VR as a platform to have novel interactions and visually appealing aids that could introduce musicians to certain mixing tools and concepts.

The technology pipeline used for this project:
Roles : Interaction Programmer, Audio Programmer and Musician
1. Researched, designed and setup the FMOD audio pipeline for project that starts from stems of music tracks to elements in the VR experience
2. Setup audio scripts that mainly used FFT and RMS information from the audio buses from FMOD to drive visuals for our prototypes
3. Implemented VR interactions for the prototypes while sharing and researching design ideas with the design team
4. Met and interviewed multiple industry professionals and educators to understand their views for our project and take inspiration from their ideas
5. Wrote some parts of the Unity editor tool that can automate creating our experience with stems of new songs
6. Wrote and composed songs that were used in the prototypes
