100% this. I always dabbled as a dev since becoming fascinated with coding and computing as a kid in the 90s. Went into a career in audio engineering in my 20s and switched to development about 4 years ago. People ask how I found the switch and the truth is that it was very simple. The main principle of audio engineering is ‘signal’ flow, replace the word ‘signal’ with ‘data’ and you’re like 90% of the way there. Follow the data, all we are doing is moving it around and manipulating it here and there. No different to a raw stem from the DI of a guitar passing through a big old analogue console.
