This is a project I’m leading as part of my Master’s in Game Audio at LBU.

For the #Wwise gurus out there - I am soon planning to get my final project (UE5-Wwise) added as a repository on #GitHub . Anything I should be worried about with this that I should know first?

Nick Mitchell will be joining us as our first guest in the From Student To Professional talk series here at Leeds Beckett!

Thanks man, all the best - always looking to improve and hear perspectives on sound design, learning all the time 😁

Thanks for all this James! Some points I’ve heard from others as well in terms of hit reactions bass stuff and the wow factor. Your point about going into the “OTT” territory with re-designs also makes sense!Wwise, totally agreed;- working on a very exciting Wwise project currently to rectify this!

My newest #gameaudio reel - This comes as I am now actively seeking work in the games industry as a sound designer, hoping to work on both asset design and implementation.

Sound Design performed using Reaper, implementation work performed in Unreal, Unity and FMOD. Music written using Furnace!

YouTube video by William Ahlert Dialogue Editing and Mastering, Spectral Editing - William Scoones Audio

In this video I outline my approach to mixing, editing and mastering dialogue to be implementation-ready. Includes spectral editing within #reaper and working to specific loudness levels.
#gameaudio #audiopostproduction #dialogue #dialogueeditor

Had a similar issue recently with a VA editing test, though luckily that one was a sine wave so no harmonics to worry about. It’s at times like that when I wish I was working with iZoTope 😅 Reaper’s spectral functions are great but it definitely isnt at the same level feature-wise.
Lmk how it goes!

I have updated my flagship #sounddesign showreel, following feedback from game industry professionals.

Thank you to all who gave feedback, and this is just the start as I continue to improve my craft as a #sounddesigner .

My next step will be to make a new reel with totally different clips!

Some content on my previous Magic Sound re-Design, with a before and after from valuable feedback I got from my colleagues as well as industry professionals. Absolutely vital to my continued improvement as a sound designer!

Thank you JV!
I definitely see what you mean in terms of some modern bass cronch being cool though having a potential fatigue. I’ve interpreted this as a “slow time” spell which would be the player’s ‘desperation move’ if you like, so we could get away with some of that crunch making its way in. 😁

I love the recent resurgence of indie games with this style of graphics! I hope it becomes as prominent as 2D pixel art in the indie scene.

Dog noses are always absolutely freezing. I’ve got four labs at home, and I’ve had this exact experience in the past. It was Skyrim though
