ACS in SOUND FOR VIDEO GAMES AND FILM
NEW PROGRAM - Autumn 2021
The video game industry has become a major player in the entertainment industry. Audio is an integral part of the gaming experience. Creating quality audio for video games requires complex sound design and the capacity to respond to the growing expectations of players. From recording sounds effects, ambiances, dialogues, designing soundscapes up to giving life to monsters and impossible vehicles, audio has an enormous part to play in bringing emotion to the gaming experience. It is not just about sound design but also about telling stories. The magic happens at the audio integration stage. Using an audio engine (like WWISE from Audio kinetic), the sound artist and audio integrator set all the parameters of interactivity for all the sounds and gives life to the game to create the best possible gameplay experience.

“Musitechnic taught me the exact skills I was looking for. Without the technical skills I learned during that year I would have never been able to continue to work on music the way I am today. The connections I made both with other students and teachers continues to help me today. I had a great time at Musitechnic and am very happy I took the time and money to spend a year expanding my knowledge of audio.”
