Yeah I watched it a few days ago too, wanted to post it here but forgot to do so. Just came across it again and remembered. But yeah I really enjoyed watching it, also enough funny moments in there

The hoover sound!

Here's a pretty interesting read:
All In The Mix - The Importance Of Real-Time Mixing In Video Games

Agreed, a good read. Read it via designingsound.org

Im not sure if this link has been posted already but this video shows some pretty amazing techniques used in the sound design of transformers.

Yep, that's a pretty good source for anything related, really!

Just bought this one:


Will let you know how I feel about it after I read it.

Yes, please do! I have it on my to buy list.

For those who don't check designingsound

This is pretty awsome

Yeah, that was pretty dope!

Just finished this one!

Quite an interesting book that goes in depth to explain the way sound in movies (and in general) works on the human mind. Learned a fair bit of interesting information!

If you have it on your to-read list, then definitely read it, you won't regret it.

Nice one, thanks for reporting back. Will buy it when the funds allow me to

Yeah, it's definitely a good book. Goes into detail about frequency and temporal masking, how emotion is conveyed through sound and music, sound spotting, how sound helps the narrative and believability, a technique here and there (like pitching down biting an apple, or breathing), different exercises and a lot of stories from different sound designers.

Sounds like a really good read, exactly the type of stuff I'm looking for. I assume sound design techniques are only a small part of the book, right? Which is good as the Sound Effect Bible has alot this, no need for 2 books which are the almost the same.

There are techniques in it, but I wouldn't classify it as a sound creation manual. It's definitely a bit different to what I expected when I delved into it! But very good nonetheless!

Mainly looking for an interesting read, doesn't have to be a sound creation manual, so it's all good as I have Sound effects bible for that Cheers man!

Try the Foley Grail of Sound too! Pretty cool stories in that one.
