Audio Synchronization Like A Pro
Comments: Sound to audio to digital then sync. Considering from analog to square wave is a calculus attempt to dimension downgrade to be very inspirational.
Pros:
Object, container, switch, packaging, modular based implementation, etc. A complete suite of the most current implementation concepts.
Cons:
Before figuring out the switch implementation the sound is hard to sync. Eventually will get the hang of it though.

Best of the Best for Interactive Audio
Comments: A long journey from Wwise 101 to now - but no regrets. It is an absolute no-brainer to use Wwise whenever possible, it makes the game come to life with dynamic audio and states / triggers for any situation.
Pros:
Very comprehensive features and fantastic tutorials to learn the ropes. The free courses are incredible at teaching the basics and laying a foundation for users to teach themselves features down the road. It makes audio integration easy with Unity (I haven't tried integrating with other game engines yet) but I imagine it's a similar experience for other engines, too.
Cons:
The steep learning curve was a lot to take in for a non-programmer. Wwise is definitely laid out for programmers and not a musician. Which is ultimately for the better, I must admit. It taught me how to view audio assets as a piece of the puzzle for game development and showed me how to better prepare audio files for interactive music in video games.
