My favorite part about stuff like Wildwood and Pacific Drive and Gravity Falls is that's all just how the PNW normally is, all of it, it's totally normal to us around here

For this year’s Liberty Day, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the original #Helldivers2 “A Cup of Liber-Tea” recording! I mixed in the original audio so you can hear what these sessions actually sounded like in the room. Hope you enjoy! #gamemusic

My #GauntletOfGods album is out on streaming! Extended release of the Pwnisher CG contest winners montage, with heroic themes based on Fire, Earth, Air and Water to portray the diversity of the characters. Link below!

Today Benaroyal Hall is having an open house and there's a panel on videogame soundtracks with some great northwest game sound folks: @wilbertroget.bsky.social, Nadia Wheaton, Danny Baranowski and Kazuma Jinnouchi. Super fascinating to hear how they create! And really well moderated by Dave Gross.

REAPER TIP: One of my favorite custom shortcuts is to use mousewheel to shorten/lengthen notes and audio clips! Unfortunately Reaper doesn't distinguish between mousewheel UP and DOWN in this context, so I use ctrl+shift+MW to shorten and alt+shift+MW to lengthen. #reaperDAW

Hi there Bluesky community! I need some help from everyone. The Nashville music community has been thrown into an unprecedented crisis, and we need help here. This needs to be shared far and wide, because there are a lot of wonderful talented people whose lives and careers are at stake.

Announcing my upcoming EP, #GauntletOfGods , releasing Oct 2nd! Music for the latest Pwnisher CG contest winners montage, it features heroic themes based on Fire, Earth, Air and Water to portray the diversity of the characters. Link below!

Great write-up. Still can't believe I got to interview Uematsu-san 11 years ago and see two Distant Worlds shows in a single day. He's such an awesome dude.

Dolly Parton was a sterling example of a human being, and we'll never get another woman quite like her. She said just last week that she had so much more she wanted to achieve, but I hope she rests in peace knowing how many millions of people's lives she touched in a positive way.

PRODUCTION TIP: Sometimes you can automate the automation, using #ReaperDAW 's Automation Items feature to copy/paste/loop envelope shapes! .....but sometimes, manual volume/automation editing is also needed. Always worth experimenting with both! (tutorial in alt text) #gameaudio

Join us this Wed for a #gamemusic chat about this gorgeous game, with its composer Takeshi Furukawa (of The Last Guardian fame) and the game director Klas Eriksson!

Join @planetoflana.bsky.social II composer Takeshi Furukawa and @wishfully.bsky.social Writer & Co-Game Director Klas Martin Eriksson on Weds, Aug 12, 6:30PM (PT) as they discuss how they created the sweeping soundtrack for Planet of Lana II. Q&A moderated by @wilbertroget.bsky.social

PRODUCTION TIP: In Melodyne 5, remember you can easily add shortcuts for almost anything! File > Prefs > Shortcuts, click what you want, then just press whatever key you wanna register. I use Pitch, Drift and Note Separation more than anything, so I just set those to 1 2 3. EZPZ! #gamemusic

Believe it or not, I am in this photo. This is why people say "down in front"! 😆 Great hanging with the #gameaudio Poland crew!

PRODUCTION TIP: [photo] If I were to guess how often, when I turn on a synth, that I actually USE the result! Results *greatly* skewed bc some synths get way more attempts than others. But just to give an idea, if you're interested in hardware! Synth names & explanations in ALT text #gamemusic

If there was any goal to be had with this post, it was to 1) encourage ppl to try hardware but with managed expectations, and 2) introduce the term "time risk" when designing synth patches 😆. Sometimes HW *reduces* it when compared to softsynths! (....usually not, tho)

Recently found folders of my earliest #gamemusic, and found "Control Monger", the first game I scored that actually released! Freeware multiplayer FPS from 2005, think Team Fortress with flying robots 😆 There was a revival event 8 years ago, so I made a vid with the footage & my menu theme! (1/3)

This was all courtesy of The Obscuritory, a site featuring old obscure titles. I remember Control Monger had a small but active community at the time, hence the revival. They even did an interview with the lead developer: obscuritory.com/shooter/cont... (2/3)

obscuritory.comControl Monger | The ObscuritoryThe free, defunct multiplayer shooter Control Monger has a unique defensive gameplay keeps you constantly moving. To learn what it was like, I brought in some friends!

I mentioned this was my first *released* game - I'd written for tiny indies for over 6 years at that point, but back then it was way harder to finish a game (less middleware, storefronts, etc). As the article states, it was a side project in a totally new genre, but so much fun to work on! (3/3)

GDC's just around the corner! 🗓️✨ We'll be back at the AMC Metreon with: 🎮 #Wwise developer presentations - Skywalker Sound, Cairn, Civ VII, haptics, and more! 📺 Private documentary screening 🎤 Karaoke! All FREE to attend - no GDC pass required! Make sure you RSVP: hubs.ly/Q044XHxh0 #GameAudioGDC

#REAPER TIP: Do not use characters like /, \, ? or ! in your track names! Anything incompatible with Windows filenames can be a headache later on, if you wanna auto-export stems. (seems obvious but I'm looking at an old project file and, apparently it wasn't... 🤦‍♂️) #reaperDAW #gameaudio

Dans Star Wars Outlaws, @wilbertroget.bsky.social a dissimulé, dans son thème de Lando Calrissian, le thème trompeusement joyeux de Bespin et le motif héroïque des rebelles. Une manière de dépeindre astucieusement la dualité de Lando entre faux semblant et résistance. La musique raconte qui il est.🎵

Will Roget@wilbertroget.bsky.social

“Lando’s Redemption” from #StarWarsOutlaws DLC is my most melodically complex piece yet – referencing Williams’ Lando & Rebel motifs as well as @joneverist.bsky.social 's Rebel theme from Outlaws, to convey his suave veneer & grave sense of duty. Here's a #gamemusic analysis of the themes!
