1.  An audio professional working in the gaming industry is required to possess not only musical and audio talent, but also knowledge and experience with typical game audio workflow.  This will ensure a good cohesion between group members and give them the confidence in producing quality compositions and SFX.  The music for a game is very important. It sets the mood for the game, and does so much more.

2. Programs used to create sound track and sound effects.  Pro Tools  Reason 3  Audacity Equipment used to create sound effects.  Various props were used to create the sound effects, for example, the motor sound you hear in the game is a cat purring. The clicking noises are cans being crushed and bent. All sound effects start from raw recordings in Pro Tools, then added to Audacity to be manipulated.

3.  All of the soundtracks were composed using Reason 3. Reason is a powerful piece of music software. It is a virtual studio rack with all the tools and instruments you need to turn your ideas into music. It's a complete music system.  Synthesizers, samplers, drum machine, REX file loop player, professional mastering tools, mixer, world class effects, pattern sequencer and more.  I have also out sourced sound effects for the compositions and all of the links are provided in the references section of the powerpoint.

4.  I have provided a disc with all of the compositions including the tracks that did not make it into the game.  Included are also all of the sound effects that did not make the final cut and all original compositions composed with Reason 3.  If you would like to open the Reason file you must have the suitable software to do so. Any computer in the music labs should open these files.  The Pro Tools files will also need to be opened in the music labs for further analysis if desired.  All compositions and sound effects are presented in either mp3 format or wave files.  Alternatively if you follow the link provided below, you can view the full archives here.  http://code.google.com/p/it-project/ http://code.google.com/p/it-project/
