Product Description

Synopsis

This book details the technical and dramatic requirements necessary for each type of new media. In engaging language, illustrated by countless real-world examples and practical workshops, writers at all levels will find ways to create music for new markets, and find new opportunities for creative expression. Guided hands-on projects will help you create music in all these forms. A CD of examples and practice files illustrates all concepts and lets you practice the techniques. Readers will learn to: score videogames, developing music for different characters, addressing the standard types of scenes and cues, and the formats required by game publishers; develop music for web sites, including HTML and Flash code; use sound technologies within mobile devices to create distinctive ringtones and other sounds; and, create demos and portfolios for getting clients.

2.0 out of 5 stars Should drop the word 'videogames' from the title, 25 Oct 2009
By M. Taylor (Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a student researching videogame audio techniques, I bought this with a bunch of other books for my dissertation: unfortunately the information in this book regarding games is sketchy at best. Barely information whatsoever on the 'interactive' side of games and incredibly light on details. Might be good for a starting composer, but anyone wanting an in-depth and accurate look at videogame audio should maybe look at books by Aaron Marks or Alexander Brandon.

Regains a star because I found the constant references to 'Barbies Fashion Designer' most amusing, and because the chapter about looping was surprisingly in-depth. The quality of other non-game chapters was varied
