One of the really cool things about #MetaSounds is how easy they make it to use audio control other aspects of the game. In this video from the MetaSounds & More: Control & Communication course we look at how we can use the amplitude of a wind sound to trigger sounds of the windows knocking.

Hard to believe it's been six months!
