Summary

We'll be taking a short holiday break until January 12th, 2022! New episodes will be coming out then! In the meantime, I announced 4 new game audio courses for those of you interested in working as a full-time game audio designer! These will all be coming out in 2022. First up is The Game Industry Professional, which focuses on the business side of working in game audio - how to get paid, how to negotiate, how to find work in the first place, and how to make a great full time living off of game audio. Next, I'll be re-opening my course Step-By-Step Sound Design, which sold out in less than one minute last month. This is the course that will help you create great sound design, faster, with less randomness, and more confidence. This one is totally beginner friendly, as well. After that, there will be Step-By-Step synthesis, which will teach you how to make great sound design from scratch using the synthesizer Serum. If you really want to know what you're doing in a synthesizer and want to stop just twiddling knobs, this will be for you. And last up is Step-By-Step FMOD. If you want to be able to actually get your sounds into a game, this will be the course for you. I'll be teaching Unity, FMOD, and C# programming to help you be more flexible and confident on every game you work on by giving you the power to place your sounds in a game. No programming experience required here. Just head over to bit.ly/soundbizpod to sign up for my newsletter so you can know when those are coming out
