AudioZoneAsset

Remarks

What a designer needs a programmer for, moved into content — the same argument as AudioParameterAsset. "The cellar is boomier" should be an edit to this and not a change to a scene or a rebuild.

There is no position on it, and that is the point. One of these describes a *kind* of room; where the rooms are is a matter for the entities carrying it. Twenty cathedral entities share one asset and are twenty different cathedrals, which is what makes changing all of them one edit.

The parameter it drives is a name and not a reverb. A zone pushes a number into a named mixer parameter; what that number does — an aux send opening, a wet level, a filter closing — is a curve in an AudioParameterAsset. Two indirections rather than one, and the reason is that "which room am I in" and "what does that room sound like" are edited by the same person at different times.
