Sound: Hear if having a delay between the absorb sound and the interaction sound improves anyting

[Ashton-Morris]

Here is a short video example of how a little delay before the interaction would sound.

I kind of like it with the tiny delay

[Ashton-Morris]

I agree with Matthew. Visually it seems accurate still as well

I think it is an improvement, but I think the delay needs to be kept pretty short so that it is clear that the sound corresponds to the action that is occurring.

Let's experiment with this in the 3/10/2020 sound design review meeting. I can demonstrate different delay values over Zoom and we can decide what to go with.

We experimented with this in real time for the absorb-and-vibrate case (using IR photons and CO2), and concluded that a 200 ms delay seems like an improvement. I'll fold this in for all sounds in a more permanent way, and we can review and hopefully finalize at the next meeting.
