Brief Description
|
The Introduction to Gaming Audio short course provides you with a brief a history to gaming audio and equips you with the tools to design, compose and implement your own gaming audio in a practical manner. During the course, a sample game is made available with the end task to successfully implement a tailored and personalised audio track for gameplay.
The course specifically looks into topics of recording, editing, mastering (or audio sequencing), and implementation of audio material in a game world. Additionally, some practical skills will be learnt in terms of working with sound in the Unity 3D game engine, Logic Pro 9 and Audacity digital audio workstations.

Learning Outcomes
|
The participants will gain an understanding of what interactive audio/music is. Functional, practical learning techniques will be used to teach the participant how to create and implement interactive audio in a virtual environment. The intention here is that each participant will have a better understanding of what game audio is and how it is made. This is further supported by vocational training through exposure to basic audio recording, manipulation and production techniques.
