This session covers the creation of all the audio assets from live recording to digital editing workstations; from casting and directing Hollywood actors to working with live orchestra and "name" bands. We also show the inner workings of the proprietary audio engine designed for use exclusively within the Halo 2 development environment. Creating and producing high quality audio is only one half of the equation and so we show how we take multi-voice audio tags all the way through the implementation stage and expose real-time physics and AI feedback to change the audio playback parameters. 5.1 mixing, DSP effects, and environmental "shapes" are just a few of the features that we discuss. We also show how the audio development engine is able to bring the game characters to life using a robust and proprietary AI engine, and bring music to another dynamic level by making it respond to realtime gameplay. Then I take a piece of music from it's initial composition, through production, and finally dynamic implementation within the game engine. I also show how we put the real-time cinematics together with music, foley, dialog, and scripting as opposed to pre-rendered movies.
