Hey, how have you all been lately? So, during this lazy afternoon, I’ve been navigating thru YouTube, watching some videos about sound design, and I stumbled across a great one, where Henry Daw talks about the importance of the UI/UX sound design, and how it should be more valued under the design industry. For you…
Many of us are super excited about VR and how it will change not just gaming, but many different areas of society. But what about augmented reality (AR)? We gotta think about it because, for me, it’s gonna be bigger and more mainst ream than VR in the foreseeable future. Besides, as audio professionals, we must ask: how sound…
Hey, everybody! How have you all been? Some days ago I was at the Full Indie Meetup, here in Vancouver, and I met a nice guy (that I can’t recall his name, sorry), young game developer, and we started talking about sound in games – after he asked me what was my role in the game…
Two quick, but great, videos today: a small tour on the Skywalker’s custom built soundstage, by Wired, with John Roesch and Shelly Roden. Have fun!!! 🙂 Mauricio Ruiz – http://www.mauricioruiz.me
Hey, you all! it’s been a while (a month…?!), I know. But I have been up to lots of things, redoing my website and doing a new game audio demo reel (which I’ll be talking about in a future post). But, hey, the blog is back. And, you may find strange, but this is a…
For the every day game players, sound design is not something that is really noticeable, unless something goes wrong. I don’t mean to say that our area is not important, not at all. What I’m saying is: people tend to notice much more the sound design when there’s a problem with it, than for it’s…
Hello, long time, no see! But, we’re back! So, I think that every sound designer would like to hear some insights from David Farmer about creature sound design. Of course! He is “only” the responsible for the creature sounds on the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogies. It’s hard to think about someone more…
So, as some might know, I have recently moved from São Paulo (Brazil) to Vancouver (Canada). I am loving this huge change in my life for now, and one of the reasons is that here the game and sound design community is much more active, social and easy to connect with. We have frequent meet…
Hey! So, today I was looking at my Safari Reading List, to see what I had for studying and keep on track of my readings, and I donut this interesting post, by MusicTech.net, called 20 EQ Tips. I’m not a big fan os lists, but sometimes posts like this are a great way to get some interesting…
So, we all have that moment: we’re stuck. We;re trying to design a sound for something, and it’s not getting anywhere. It’s hard, it’s not good, but it happens, right? Well, I saw today in my Facebook timeline a post from MusicTech called 6 Killer Sound Design Tips. Although I hate this hind of “click bait” title,…
