Game Audio Fundamentals takes the reader on a journey through game audio design: from analog and digital audio basics to the art and execution of sound effects, soundtracks, and voice production, as well as learning how to make sense of a truly effective soundscape.

Presuming no pre-existing knowledge, this accessible guide is accompanied by online resources – including practical examples and incremental DAW exercises – and presents the theory and practice of game audio in detail, and in a format anyone can understand.

This is essential reading for any aspiring game audio designer, as well as students and professionals from a range of backgrounds, including music, audio engineering, and game design.
