Re: [microsound] Music Technology graduate interested in Game Audio



loving this thread...

question: guys like richard devine, and other 'high profile' sound designers - how much game coding are they actually doing?

i mean it strikes me as two different kinds of skill sets. such there must be overlap and there should probably be some overlap, but just 'cause you can code some sound engine doesn't mean you have any idea how to make a spaceship sound really cool... it's this classic debate that goes on forever in the reaktor forums about the 'instrument builders' and the 'instrument players.'

I have a *basic *understanding of C...headers, functions...these are
familiar words, so maybe a little revision would get me back on track with that. I do find it very interesting, but Max/Msp caused me to lose touch with "real programming", and I'm not sure if I'm enthusiastic about writing
my own objects just yet....then again, maybe a great way to learn. :)

definitely not.

and depending on how far you want to go, there are plenty of open
source audio applications that you can study too [but that's prolly
getting a bit ahead of yourself ...]
