With reference to his work on 'Scarface: The World Is Yours',Bridgett will examine the absence of subtlety and silence in the audio of many recent video games, manifested by a lack of dynamic range, over-compression of sound and music assets, and leaving little potential for narrative tension and release.

Specific topics will include:

• Production practices in which sound, music and dialogue have been consistently over-compressed at the individual asset level
• Interactive mixing and post-production as a valuable area where dynamics can be artistically controlled via such real-time DSP effects and run-time snapshot mixers to dynamically shape and prioritize the overall sound in an interactive environment

Take Away
Delegates will take away a greater understanding of how run-time mixing can re-define the dynamic range of game audio.
