Soundbytes Podcast - EP 13 - Mana-Mana

Hello! Welcome back to episode thirty-seven of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. This month, we were incredibly lucky to be joined by two incredibly talented audio people: composer scntfc (Andy Rohrmann) and sound designer Eduardo Ortiz Frau. Both Andy and Eduardo have just finished up working on the newly released game, Afterparty. We loved the sound and music of Afterparty, so it was a real honour to be able to dig into some of the specifics that went into its creation. We talked about Eduardo and Andy's backgrounds in audio and games, about how they both ended up working on Afterparty, and we discussed their approach to creating audio such a unique gaming experience. A huge thanks to both Andy and Eduardo for taking the time to chat to us, it was an incredibly insightful and inspiring interview. You can follow Eduardo on Twitter here: @edsounddesign and Andy on Twitter here: @scntfc. Afterparty is out now, and can be purchased on Xbox One, PS4 and the Epic Games Store.

Hello! Welcome back to the fourth episode of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. In light of GDC being at the end of Febuary, we decided that for this episode we'd delve into some pre-GDC advice, specifically aimed at newcomers, and some general networking tips. We also answered a few listener questions.  Hosted by: Derek Brown - <a href="https://twitter.com/subwoofersub" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@subwoofersub</a> Barney Oram - <a href="https://twitter.com/BarneyOram1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@BarneyOram1</a> Follow Soundbytes on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/soundbytes_p" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@soundbytes_p</a> Links to things we mentioned: <a href="http://music.disasterpeace.com/album/mini-metro-rmx-kit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rich Vreeland's Mini Metro: RMX KIT on Bandcamp</a> <a href="http://adamtcroft.com/home/introduction-to-reascript-tutorial/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Adam T Croft's Introduction to Reascript Tutorial</a> <a href="http://www.gdconf.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Game Developers Conference (GDC)</a> <a href="https://sightglasscoffee.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sightglass Coffee</a> morning meetings organised by <a href="https://twitter.com/lostlab" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Damian Kastbauer</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/woldhek" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anton Woldhek</a> <a href="http://www.gameaudiopodcast.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Game Audio Podcast</a> Lunch behind the carousel and <a href="http://wootwootsound.com/?page_id=158" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Matt Marteinsson's CarouselCon 2017</a> <a href="http://schedule.gdconf.com/track/audio" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GDC Audio Track and Audio Bootcamp</a> <a href="http://www.audiogang.org/awards/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">G.A.N.G (Game Audio Network Guild) Awards</a> <a href="http://www.gdconf.com/events/igf.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">IGF Awards</a> <a href="http://www.marriott.co.uk/hotels/travel/sfodt-san-francisco-marriott-marquis/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Marriot Hotel (the Death Star)</a> <a href="http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1023223/Foley-in-Alien-Isolation-Gears" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Byron Bullock and Steve Whetman's 2016 GDC talk 'Foley in 'Alien: Isolation' &amp; 'Gears of War: Ultimate' Edition'</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1714481432196669/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Game Audio North at Newcastle (18th of Febuary!)</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/405359219818938/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">First ever Irish Game Audio meetup in Dublin (25th of Febuary!)</a> Some additional GDC guides that we've found helpful: <a href="https://www.asoundeffect.com/game-audio-gdc-2016/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ASoundEffect's 'The Ultimate Guide to Game Audio at GDC 2016'</a> <a href="https://www.joecavers.com/blog/2016/1/23/gdc-advice" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">'GDC Advice' from Joe Cavers</a> <a href="http://jeremylimmusic.com/tutorials/gdc-game-developers-conference-first-timer-guide/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">'A First-Timer’s Guide to the Game Developer’s Conference (GDC) in San Francisco' from Jeremy Lim</a> Also worth following #GameAudio and #GameAudioGDC during the conference.

Josh Bell

Francesco Del Pia

Hello! Welcome back to episode twenty-eight of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. This month, Barney sat down with his two friends and colleagues, Josh Bell and Francesco Del Pia, to discuss life at Cloud Imperium Games, making sounds for spaceships and spacesuits, and generally working with a big team on a big project. We also talked about finding work in the games industry as a sound designer, how to deal with moving to a new city and a new country to join a company, and how to get past the impostor syndrome that comes with starting a career in sound. A huge thanks to Josh and Fran for taking the time to chat, we had a great discussion and we hope it is helpful information, especially for newcomers to the industry.

Soundbytes Podcast - EP 30 - Interview with Josie Brechner

Hello! It's just me this time, Barney, as Derek is super busy working on his first AAA title, which we will be hearing about very soon. For now though, I thought I'd do a little special episode, digging into some practical sound design and exploring some plugins and techniques. I decided to attempt to walk through my process for designing a sound live on the podcast, and explain my thoughts and ideas along the way. I decided not to mention specific libraries as to draw the focus away from 'what' sounds I used, rather 'how' I used them. I hope this is interesting and helpful, please feel free to contact me with your thoughts, or if you have any questions.

Soundbytes Podcast - EP 9 - Sound Design Special

Hello! Welcome back to episode twenty-three of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. We're very excited to bring you this month's episode with the kind help of our friends at Krotos Audio. Krotos us provided with some copies of their wonderful plugins, to check out and share with you in the episode. Barney had a look at Reformer Pro, and Derek had a play with Dehumaniser 2. We also talked about Derek's recent move to working with Reaper, and answer a listener question. A big thanks to Krotos for supporting us - we've been aware of this company for a while, and it was great to explore some of their unqiue and groundbreaking plugins and share that on the podcast. You can read more about how people use their plugins on their blog, as well as browsing their full range of plugins on their product page.  Hosted by:  Derek Brown - @subwoofersub Barney Oram - @BarneyOram1 Follow Soundbytes on Twitter: @soundbytes_p Links to things we mentioned: PlayStation Classic Spider-Man PS4 Reaper Z-Noise AudioThing Fog Convolver AudioThing Frostbite kiloHearts Delay Karplus–Strong
