In this video called “Adaptive Music (In Gaming) Is Amazing” made by someone that goes by “Noodle” a somewhat notable YouTuber creates a video displaying not only the reason music is important in video games but how music can be used in games. He also should examples of what he thinks are good examples of the music used mainly in video games called Adaptive Music.

The video uses nice visuals and comedy to maintain the viewer’s attention. The visuals consist of cute pictures of the creator’s character, I think his main use of these visuals is to express his ideas entertainingly. After a joke to open the video he starts by asking the viewers to think of their favorite song from a game or sound tracking and then telling them that no matter what they thought of the music it did make their experience with the game better and which this statement he introduces Adaptive music stating “yea that what adaptive musics about the music adapting to what’s up here(him referring to his video)”. He goes on to explain creating a game that has timed transition based on what is in the games is very difficult and confusing to do, then he introduces two options a game developer can do, the music just fades in and out which he makes apparent that is is very boring for a game to and two adaptive music, The video is broken up in sections talking about music progression over time. First, he mentions how back in the day when games were first created it was really difficult to add different types of music to games because the technology at the time wasn’t advanced enough to have many different types of music in one game. But as time moves on and technology advances so do the things game developers can do with music also advances. Noodle explains that there are different ways games can do adaptive music one way is called mixing horizon which is just going from song to song which is as he put it kinda boring but mixing vertically is when a game uses a different version of the same song in different areas of the game.

Nearing the end of the video Noodle the video’s creator states” More often than not players are more focus on vanquishing their Sh***y cousin jimmy they probably didn’t even notice any of this”. Here Noodle is referring to the adaptive music in the games that he mentions and how most people don’t really notice or even care about it. I agree with his point bcause after seeing this video i never really even noticed the use of adaptive music i feel that noodle is describing me.
