Covering all the _basic terms and techniques_ you will be equipped with a **practical toolkit** for implementing dynamic music in Godot, from *layering* to crafting *transitions* and driving the music through *game states* with signals and gameplay based parameters. Beyond a technical overview, you will walk away with a _collaborative roadmap_ of clear strategies for _communicating your vision_ to composers, effective use of reference materials and workflows that facilitates both creative freedom and project constraints. Whether you have never implemented a sound effect or you are thinking of prototyping your first adaptive music system, this talk will equip you with a _starting point_ to understand audio terminology and empower you to elevate your game through music.
