Beards, Cats and Indie Game Audio

We were lucky enough to sit down with Chanel Summers again! The first time we've had a return guest. We talk about what Chanel has been up to lately, talk about our local sound design meetup demo critique night and answer some questions.

This time around we talk a little more business stuff. Jeff Tangsoc from Power Up Audio joins us to talk about being and using contractors. We answer a bunch of questions as always and run through what makes a good contractor.

Here we are at episdoe 17 and Michael Dobson joins us to talk about voiceover in games. Not much to say other then that. It's all voice with an amazing guy to have a conversation with.    

That time again for the episode we record while in the car driving to the Digipen Audio Symposium.  We talk about what we've been up to lately, answer some questions and talk about what we heard at the Audio Symposium. And pimp our games that are coming out this week. 

Here we are with episode 15. We're both finishing off games so we decieded to talk about that. And prepro at the same time. And then answered a few questions.

This month we managed to sit down with Austin Wintory while we were all at GDC and chat for awhile. From a seat on the floor at the back of Moscone we talk about game music, GDC, cats, beards and some other game audio related stuff. Unfortunately due to time we had to cut our Seinfeld/Firefly/ST:NTG conversation.    Show notes. 00:00:00 Austin Wintory Introduction Austin Websitehttp://austinwintor...

Here we are again. This time around we chat about some new gear we each got and give a little advice if you're going to go buy some yourself. We talk about working a convention with your developers.
