Hi Philip, Hmmm, somehow I'd never considered your point about replacing certain sounds or certain bits of music breaking the overall soundscape. Shocking to think I'd never considered it, because I know all too well how wildly interpretations can vary from mix to mix of music I've been in the production seat for and it's much the same sense of frustration that would be snapping at your heels.
That said, what Dark is proposing makes perfect sense so long as you don't give people a soundscape you're attached too to work with. If you did go down this road of the side-scroller for dumbies like me project I'd guess the best thing to do would be not to offer any sound or music at all in fact. It'd lessen your work load for starters, and it'd put maximum possible creativity in the hands of the tool's user.
