One of the really cool things about #MetaSounds is how easy they make it to use audio control other aspects of the game. In this video from the MetaSounds & More: Control & Communication course we look at how we can use the amplitude of a wind sound to trigger sounds of the windows knocking.
Hard to believe it's been six months!
New YouTube video! 'Knobs and Sliders'. This video looks at how to add knobs and sliders to create a more usable interface for your #MetaSounds, and introduces the concept of 'setting' and 'getting' variables. tinyurl.com/MetaSoundsPl...
Keys are good, keys are good. Using keys is good.
Due to popular demand we've added keyboard controls to the Zombie dog demo playtest! These feel like they make sense but let us know what you think on the discord. Download here: tinyurl.com/ZDogDemo
Love to see this event coming back!
Our second #unrealengine #metasounds course is out! ‘Control and Communication’ looks at how to control and communicate with your MetaSounds via Blueprints. During August you can get a discounted bundle include both of our first two courses! gameaudioimplementation.com/courses #sounddesign #gamedev
Demo Playtest link here - excited to hear what you think!

Why should you spend money on a #MetaSounds course for #Unreal when there are YouTube videos? It’s a good question. A structured course that takes you all the way from scratch written by experienced educators is going to fast track your learning. Get started with MetaSounds & More: Foundation here:

Unfortunately education is almost as much of a shit show as the games industry at the moment! Happy to offer any advice / support in terms of what/how to teach game audio but in terms of finding work it's not easy. DM me if it would be useful to chat.
Just a quick word to say.... it's on!! The Game Audio Symposium 2025 will take place in sunny Leeds on 30th & 31st May 2025.
Due to changing circumstances we've taken the very difficult decision to raise the price of the tickets by … £3.
