[Graham, you make sounds happen rather than making sounds.] Was there anything they wanted you to make happen that you beat your head against?
Graham PhilipsonLead Audio Programmer
Well, yeah, I guess sometimes we get asked to create effects, and one of them recently was... we're going to be doing a distress call thing, I think, and the idea was to make that distort in a new and interesting way that reflects that it's difficult to reach, and this kind of thing. So that was a fairly open task. But then, having said that, there's only so many ways you can distort a sound. I just made them all available.

Rather than design something for that, we were like, can you write a plugin? You know there's plugins that we all buy and use? Can you just write one for us?
Graham PhilipsonLead Audio Programmer
That's the approach we should take. It's much cheaper just to write one.
