Abstract:
When mixing for a linear medium, such as a film, the mixer knows what will happen. Games, on the other hand, are a nonlinear medium. The sound designer does not know what the gamer will do in advance. This presents a variety of challenges unique to mixing for interactive media such as games. This workshop will discuss techniques and tools used to deal with clipping, unintelligible dialog, real-time surround panning, and repetitive sounds and music. Industry leaders will discuss practical ideas and solutions for interactive mixing.
