On Thursday we had another lecturer talk who founded Salix game in 2016 , was the winner of best sound design – Tiga awards… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is game audio?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Assert creation, recording, designing, sourcing, implementation, triggers, events, optimisation, pipelines, ambience, Walla (muttering,etc), Foley, sound design, UI, dialogue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Ambience<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Starting point, build form the ground up, point sources ( a point of origin), revert preclusion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      Example : A forest <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Where<\/strong> : Geographic Location important, floral fauna will change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Type<\/strong> : Different types, all sound different<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Time<\/strong> : Dusk, dawn night, day<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • What<\/strong> : Is it in the forest? Something in the distance, hints of enemies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

        Foley<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Creates real world sounds adding depth and realism , grounds the character and the player to the world. More than just footsteps, requires thought and study of movement rule of 7: <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n

          Example : Two people sit down for a cup of tea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Who<\/strong> : Who are they, what are they?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Materials<\/strong> : What are they wearing? Natural or synthetic <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • When<\/strong> : Modern? period piece?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Where<\/strong> : Is there furniture? what it made of?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

            Walla <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Aka crowd sound or loop group (Do you need it?), 5+ rule, Use one shot dialogue, 5 seconds – fade in fade out…<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n

              Example : Someone with a giant sounds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • When :<\/strong> Modern? Period peace? This will change the ground of the group completely<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • what<\/strong> : whats going on? is the bar full or at closing <\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • context :<\/strong> Should the person with the giant sound be there ? is there a reaction to them? is there a fight or people listening to music?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • where :<\/strong> where are they? sketchy? upmarket?<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                Sound design <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • tends to be anything unreal, can be hard to quantify…guns, explosions,physics fall under this category (mostly)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Creatures, particles, “subjective”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Can cross over with music and Foley (sea creatures, guns)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • The job title, physics & destruction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \n

                  Example : You are standing in front of a creature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • Where<\/strong> : Where is it taking place<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Scale<\/strong> : How big is the creature to \/ how close are we?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Biology<\/strong> : How does it work \/ how does this creature attack? \/ breathe \/ internal mechanism <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                    UI<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • The menus , more than blips & bleeps has to cut through the rest of the soundscape, sole purpose to relay information to the player, avoid repetition on for multi- sounds, a co-cohesive suit so the player knows what is happening even subconsciously, (happy, sad, and neutral tones are key)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      Music<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      • A sound designers job will be implementation, dealing with pipelines, does your composer understand video games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        Dialogue <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        • From script to script , working with implementations , dialogue editing and post – pressing implementations , dialogue management<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Types of dialogue- combat back, play thoughts , etc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
