Honestly rather amazed by the game sound design from 1995. Especially engine stuff and doppler! ๐Ÿซก

it's been a fun week so far, learning a part of wwise I've never really touched before professionally. It's nice reminder that in audio you're never done learning ๐Ÿ”Š #wwise #gameaudio

Astrobot is PACKED with sound design personality, here's a glimpse of some of that attention to detail #gameaudio #sounddesign #GameAudioGold

Going to try making a mini series of videos highlighting some game audio gold, will likely be showing reaper workflow gold too! Posting the first short today about Astrobot. Picking one thing from that game was impossible. #gameaudio

Hahaha!! I called this out when I was watching. I don't know how, but this was the first year I noticed all of rizzo's comments about wanting food, they killed me!

A new #ReaperDAW script for rendering! Provides a simpler UI to export instead of render region matrix- works similarly to other scripts with created folder items. AND it's free! #gameaudio

Non treated room most days. My last setup was semi treated and the results were better. I've had the best results in a fully treated room

Yep- I use it on my headphones and monitors, I find working on something flat makes things transfer a lot better. There's less adjustments needed when testing audio on a different device/setup. Only downside is listening to my headphones without it takes me a little while to get used to

Used this library on a previous project, some great content for ice/magic/glass sound design โ„๏ธ

Unfortunately l've been told my role is currently at risk of redundancy, so Iโ€™m starting to explore potential new opportunities.
If anyone has any Audio Designer roles available please let me know- I have 3+ years of game industry experience.

Reposts greatly appreciated ๐ŸŽง๐ŸŽฎโค๏ธ #GameAudio #AudioDesign

Just seen Wicked ๐ŸŽฌ, the sound design and Foley was so whimsical in places! I've never heard Foley stand out with character like that before. Loved it all.

I'm currently doing a little bit of outreach for 12-13 year olds, giving them an insight into game audio! What would you tell them? #gameaudio

I was lucky enough to do an ambient remix for Planet Coaster 2's Soundtrack. J.J.'s music is so immensely inspiring this is one of my favourite contributions.
