Session Description
Audio for games and other interactive entertainment has grown far beyond simple mash-ups of technical concepts with linear audio design techniques. Today's games require responsive and dynamic musical scores; ambiences, sound effects, and dialog that respond to player actions; immersive and accurate player-surrounding soundscapes; not to mention AI driven dynamic control of the overall mix.
The Audio Boot Camp offers an introduction to the wide array of topics that comprise the burgeoning game audio industry, with an increasing focus on harnessing tools and technology to serve the artistic needs of the title.
