GAME AUDIO & MUSIC PRODUCTION
Produce professional audio experiences that enhance gameplay and emotional engagement
ABOUT THIS COURSE
This comprehensive program covers the complete audio production pipeline for interactive entertainment. Participants learn sound effect creation using Foley techniques, music composition for dynamic game environments, and spatial audio implementation that responds to player actions. The curriculum emphasizes practical skills applicable across different game genres and platforms.
Students work with industry-standard DAWs for recording and editing, middleware platforms like FMOD and Wwise for interactive audio implementation, and game engines for real-time audio integration. The program addresses adaptive music systems that respond to gameplay states, environmental ambience design, and voice acting direction fundamentals.
Through hands-on projects, participants create complete audio packages for game prototypes, building portfolios that demonstrate technical proficiency and creative capability. Projects include scoring game trailers, creating comprehensive sound effect libraries, and implementing fully interactive audio systems in actual game environments.
