VR Oculus Touch Mixing Dream- True Story
My son only wanted one thing for Christmas- Oculus Rift. Santa delivered.
He's been showing stuff on it and it's amazing. I was using the 3D art programs and really enjoying myself when it occurred to me that it's only a matter of time before there is a VR experience for a DAW. The ultimate "control surface"
This morning, I woke up while having a dream that I was EQing my mix (an actual mix that I'm working on) using the Oculus. I was manipulating the mid and low frequencies with the same gestures that are used to zoom in, zoom out, rotate, and move the objects in the 3D art creator in Oculus. That's not what I had imagined the night before.
I had imagined a virtual studio with racks of Pultec EQs, 1176s, LA2As, and an SSL console. Everything is perfectly arranged in 360 degrees around you, and manipulated by virtual hand.
Only a matter of time. The tech is here.
