Great job!!

Every programmer I knew said they cannot find a reason to not use an audio middleware. It really depends on the project, but it mostly a free powerful tool that could save you too much time, and bring more joy. The decisions you made ultimately determine how your project would turns out, as a audio person, if a developer approach me and refuse to use middleware without a good reason, it's a hint that they cannot make good decisions on most of the thing. It's hard to evaluate something you don't fully understand, so you could always consult experienced people, your peers, people you might work with to get more information.

Beautifully succinct argument for using middleware! Particularly in how the help standardise the way we implement sounds into the engine, without having to learn much new for each project. Great video!! Thanks for making it!!!

Welcome back!

First 😎

Great video! very well explained and good to hear how you stick to your values.

Thank you so much. Due to ignorance, I tried again and again to correct a file in MP3 format without success, it was as simple as using a different audio format. Regards from México.

I've done two game jams. Both times half the team droped out. Weeks of time wasted. I'm consdering working with students doing game dev in colleges instead?

why I cannot play any sound?

nice videos! makes me more positive about my choices \m/

Hey I love the channel! I'm an electronic musician trying to get into sounddesign, does anyone have any advice? Where can i get in contact with people who might want to hire me? I'm good at making sounds, but what more do I need to know to become a sound designer? Any advice is much appreciated

What is the MIDI keyboard you are using?

That Global Sampler is extremely useful! thank you!

exactly, 1:1, 100% what i needed. absolutely thank you bro

For global sampler you can put it in your monitor fx instead of the master track since a lot of people never use monitor fx and you can forget about it. I don't really get the point of Content Navigator.. how it different from just using the track manager?

Awesome!

As a budding sound designer trying to learn Massive, this has been a great tutorial. Thank you!

Just found your channel/podcasts, joined your newsletter and realised that I CAN succeed in Game audio with ADHD 😁

This is so simple how did I not think of this. Thank you

Good call putting gs in the monitoring chain.

Your ui has so much space How do you do that?

This is good advice for any industry!

Learning Reaper to add a DAW to my arsenal and this was way helpful!!!

Damn, finally got around to trying this and it didn't work out well. I basically can only get scratching noises. Even a heartbeat is really faint or not perceptible at all. Wondering if I did something wrong, but I bought the exact same parts and don't really see how I could have screwed it up. I used a Behringer C-2 for the mic, but everything else is the exact same.

Thanks for this series! Very helpful :)

Neat. Just getting back up and running for game audio. Thanks for sharing it all. This is going to be way more fun than my last game audio project(~5 years ago), and I used regions for most of that.

Thank you so much for this video, I have used Reaper about 10 years and now I gonna enter into this whole game development world as a Sound Designer. I thought that so good compatibility just doesn’t exists, but I found your video and that made my life a lot easier c:

perfect, exactly what i needed. thanks bro

Global Sampler is just mind blowing for me. I wish I had it before rather than recording and sometimes losing some interesting sounds

Yes. I've gotten to the sound design of my Blender project. 😊

5.1 vs stereo vs mono

You look like that actor dude. You know the one. He played on a TV show and some movies. That guy. The one that looks like you.

cool thank you

Great tutorial, I found this very inspiring for ideas for my trance productions

Thanks for this useful video. Could you tell the approx frequency response (x-y Hz) of this stethoscope?

would love to see these features in bitwig. :( mainly use bitwig for sfx because its super fast with the grid and modulation stuff, but when it comes to exporting and bouncing its just a big horror.

somehow when i save in reaper the files that i have changed are not getting refreshed in fmod. I have to bounce the files in reaper again, then save. Checkmark under FMOD setting (render files when reaper project is saved) is checked. any ideas what the issue could be?

I'm 54 and a songwriter/composer all my adult life. With my Dyspraxia and ADHD and sensory processing disorder, I've lived a life of losing joe jobs. A few years ago I got tired of playing in bars to drunks and started trying to write library music. I've sold one track out of about 40 uploaded. This last year I've decided to commit to video games as a possible career. I'm learning sound design and am completing a four year degree in audio and music production. With ADHD, everything from cleaning the house to sitting down and learning something in audio production is a massive challenge for me. I go to youtube to try to find out how to do something, 15 videos later I have no clue why I went to youtube. But at lest I am zoned into games now as a composer and sound designers. I've done my first game jam and am working with another guy on his game now. It's a nice feeling of finally stopping and settling on something.

Man, you really nailed the color grading on this video. It's so vibrant yet comfy. This channel's gonna blow up, I'm sure.

I appreciate the core lesson you're trying to pass on. Thanks for the info!

Maybe I am crazy but I am learning and creating sounds and making music like 36 hours weekly at minimum and I can't live without it. If I would be working daily in some company it would be my dream come true. 😎 I am just afraid that my wife and kids would never see me again, probably... 😂 Btw I am in the making of my first showreel but I am doing music and sfx for over 10 years now so here you have a point. Not laziness just being afraid if I am good enaugh. 😅

A friend of mine has been working on a game for several years. Recently, they've been mulling over how to balance audio between dozens or more different sound samples, but given I am not a sound person, I didn't even know the language surrounding what they were trying to achieve. Turns out it's Normalizing! Thank you very much for this video-I've shared it with them, as well as your playlist for Game Sound Design, which we're both prepared to binge! You are still helping folks with this even nearly eight years on, thank you!

Great video. Sound advice for...er..sound people who work...in sound.

Thank you for this video and your explanation, I'm just getting started and I'm really looking forward to it! I would be happy to see another video where you go into the external accessories.

I use OPUS and download sound library from ComposerCloud. Can I upload a sound from OPUS in Reaper?

Bitwig days are now done for me and I am a convert to Reaper, like I knew I should be. Next up I still need to find some helpful and easy guides on how to use the NVK tools and maybe some LKC tools too, and I am ready to go make some game FX! Thank you for the series Akash, it was immensely helpful. <3

Thank you for everything you shared in this video.

Is there any reason you don't use LKC or NVK solutions? Wouldn't those speed up the process?
