My partner and best friend Kyle suffered from two strokes last week. We need your help. gofund.me/e25c60dfb Anything helps, a like, a share, a donation. thank you for your support during this difficult time ❤️

Support Kyle Fraser’s Recovery after Two Strokes

Some of you may know I’ve been dealing with a personal matter over the last week. Most of you do not. I consider myself a very private person but I need to ask for help at this time.

Last week, my partner and best friend, Kyle Fraser, suffered from two strokes in a single day.

There is a very long and expensive road ahead, and our friends have been gracious enough to help organize a GoFundMe for anyone who wishes to offer their support. On it, we have written up more detail on his condition for anyone curious. Even a repost or share helps. The link to that is in my bio, my story, highlights - pretty much anywhere.

Thank you for your thoughts and support at this time. Apologies in advance if I take some time to reply, I’m taking it one day at a time.

For those who don’t know him, Kyle is probably the most compassionate person I’ve ever met. He is as gentle and brilliant as much as he is strong and funny. He loves his two cats Poly and Moog, and adopted them with the explicit intention of ‘which cats are you having a hard time adopting?’ Though he can be reserved and introverted, Kyle has a fierce passion for his career and will always offer a helping hand to anyone in need, often taking calls to mentor professionals beginning their career. I’ve become a better person through knowing and loving him.

New, free TechAudioTools lets you get serious with Unreal's MetaSounds - CDM Create Digital Music

MetaSounds is a powerful platform for sound, synthesis, and procedural audio and music. And the price is right (free). But in the past, it had some gaps in out-of-the-box functionality. Epic has quiet...

This was a demo I put together for GameSoundCon last year to showcase some of the possibilities of MetaSound preset widgets. My widget is forwarding MIDI events from my Minichord device to the MetaSound, analyzing audio bus outputs, and editing a drum sequence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RQn...

If you’re going to #gamesoundcon this year you do not want to miss Josh Lord & @audiogre.bsky.social’s talk about some of the amazing tools and systems that helped our audio team bring the immersive soundscape in #GhostOfYotei to life ⚔️ #gameaudio #sounddesign #gamedev

Wednesday, October 29th
Advanced Systems Design in Ghost of Yötei
Sound Design & Technology
© 2:45 PM - 3:45 PM
• Academy 3
Description
This talk will highlight some of the key ways the audio team at Sucker Punch strove to push the soundscape of Ghost of Yötei through calculated tool development and systems design. Using Ghost of Tsushima as a jumping off point, we will describe the ways we improved on our existing systems and how we focused our work on doing more with less. We will highlight some of the core systems that were drastically overhauled and improved for this sequel, and do a mini-deep dive into each system, giving audience members a glimpse into our workflow, and ideas to improve their own systems.
We will pinpoint how these new systems improvements came to be, why we chose them for scrutiny, and how we overhauled them to create simpler systems that sounded better, and were easier to implement, than the previous game. Systems explored will include: situational ambience, foley, combat, and waterways. The talk will also explore how the evolution of systems propagated further and further out as the project progressed. What started as one change in one system, spidered out to add functionality across other areas of the game.
Takeaway: Audience members should come away from this talk with an understanding of how the Sucker Punch audio team crafted the soundscape of Ghost of Yotei, and have some inspirational ideas for how to roll some of these concepts into their own workflows.
Speakers
• Rev. Dr. Bradley_D Meyer, Sucker Punch Productions, Audio Director
• Josh Lord, Sucker Punch Productions - Playstation, Senior Staff

Here’s a great starting point for any tech audio folks who want to start building custom tools and widgets in UE5!

Hey fam, @ebuch.bsky.social and I had a cool chat around the new Tech Audio Tools plugin and demonstrated building a custom tool from scratch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO8q... #GameAudio #TechTools #UnrealEngine #MetaDataGoesHere

Skeurid @skeurid.bsky.social · last yr.

Messing around with the Tech Audio Tools plugin in #UnrealEngine 5.6 -- not quite ready to save presets here since binding a SpinBox doesn't seem to be as straightforward, but hey it's making noises... (thanks @ebuch.bsky.social @dannthr.bsky.social for the tutorial stream a few weeks back!!)

Drop by this week to see how I’m creating widget interfaces that we’ll use to author presets for our MetaSound SFX generator!
