We've lost count of the number of people that have told us it was how they got started!

To celebrate & by way of thanks for all the support over the years we'd like to offer our Unreal Engine game audio courses 'MetaSounds & More' for 15% of their normal price!

When 'The Game Audio Tutorial' came out in 2011 it was the 1st practical textbook in the field, &it's been amazing &gratifying to see the impact it's had over the years.

the latest episode of #BCAIGA is out and you should give it a listen. @emilyemeo.bsky.social was a wonderful guest and took the time to sit down with me while at GSC last year to chat about #gameaudio and recording cats among other things.
