Thanks! Definitely spent a lot of time trying to make that stuff feel right so glad it's coming across! I used a lot of GRM Evolution on all different kinds of metal to make most of that stuff. The Purity slider brings out cool tonality

Finally get to share what I've been working on for the last year or so! The Paladin class is out now! I was lucky enough to own all the audio for the class, it's been my favorite thing I've worked on so far. Excited for people to finally get their hands on it! πŸ˜‡

If you want to see a video of me 30 lbs heavier with bad haircut talking about audio on the most recent Diablo expansion, today is your lucky day!

Really though, excited that this finally got released! It was a lot of fun working on this stuff 😈πŸ’₯🎀🎧

I finally watched "I Saw the TV Glow" and got absolutely jumpscared by Conner O'Malley being in it

My favorite games of 2024. I should probably have put Balatro higher but I think it's overall a destructive force in my life

Also a shout out to my favorite sounding films of the year
- The Substance
- Alien Romulus
- Gladiator II

My favorite films of 2024. I saw probably more movies this past year than I did in the previous few years combined. Really an incredible year over all for the medium

Ok time to spend the next couple of years trying to make stuff that sounds like Arcane

Been experimenting with abusing de-noise/de-verb plugins. Liking Z-Noise for weird spectral garbage, Izotope De-Reverb for smooth gating. MVocoder is equally neat. Fun to place modulation fx before them in the chain. Heavily saturate or compress at the end to bring out the cool bits. #gameaudio

Yes! Z-noise on full blast is at the start of a ton of my creative fx chains. RX Deconstruct can get some cool stuff too

I'm a big fan of pure white noise actually. Here for that post-transient movement

I loved the film and was really impressed with the sound/score! Some really cool big mix swings in there that they totally nailed
