Star Wars is known for its sweeping orchestral scores. But how do you make them adaptive in an open-world game? Join Composer @wilbertroget.bsky.social as he dives into creative & technical solutions for Star Wars Outlaws! 🌟 Watch here: hubs.ly/Q039ZGCp0 #GameAudio #Wwise

MUSIC PRODUCTION TIP: 2-for-1 tips today! 1, careful and/or weird use of volume automation can occasionally be more effective than a special effect or mixing plugin! And 2, give detailed titles to rendered audio clips! This can help you retrace your steps, especially when recording from hardware.

Pacific Drive - One Year Later! A special stream featuring the Ironwood Studios Development team. 🌲🚘🌩️ We're excited to play the game, answer questions, and look back at some of our favorite updates! Catch us at 1PM PST this Friday on Twitch, YouTube, and Steam.

One year on, it's incredible how much passion and appreciation the community has for Pacific Drive! As our way of saying thanks, we've released digital copies of the Travelers Journal and the Owners Manual, available to download now on the game's website!

Super excited to announce that I have been hard at work creating a new sample library, an amazing collaboration with superb composer and violinist @composerben! Full release January 22nd! www.nicktorretta.com/samplelibrar...

if noire's incompatibility from old to new versions of kontakt has taught me anything, it's to get in the habit of rendering out your individual midi chunks. i hate opening up old project files where i didn't, and now not only do i have no clue how i customized an inst, idk what it even sounds like

Updated reel. I'd like to rebuild a following here 'cause bsky might be one of the only large platforms where we can enjoy each other's art and exchange info without constant direct exposure to vile genocide-loving ghouls. No algorithm! I can ask you to repost this and not be punished for it 😅🙏 love

MUSIC COMPOSITION TIP: Writing can be extremely iterative; consider rendering WIPs early and often, listen in a different program for fresh perspectives. Making a task list while reviewing also helps with combating procrastination! #gamemusic

you have once again been greeted by holly jolly takenobu mitsuyoshi, repost or you will still never see burning rangers underneath your christmas tree

REAPER TIP: (I've mentioned this a few times on the other app, but) You can set arbitrary tuplets in the pianoroll! Useful for quintuplets, runs, etc. :-) #reaperDAW

Was honored to give my recommendations for my fave #gamemusic of the year, and extremely flattered that other composers thought so highly of my own 2024 scores! ( #Helldivers2 , #PacificDrive , and #StarWarsOutlaws )

#PacificDrive OST won @ the #indiegameawards ! Grateful for this honor, & the chance to write a score so different from my others. Thanks to @ironwood.bsky.social for trusting me with this, soloists D’Anthoni Wooten (vocals) & Sam Suggs (doublebass), & engineer @jordanfehr.bsky.social ! #gamemusic

WE WON! ♥️🏆 Thanks so much to Six One Indie, The Indie Game Awards, and IGN for the incredible honor, and to @wilbertroget.bsky.social for accepting the award for Best Music on behalf of Pacific Drive!

We're happy to announce that we're working with Atomic Monster and James Wan to develop a new tv show based on Pacific Drive! The positive reception to this news has been incredible, thank you all so much - we're so excited to see what happens. See y'all in the Zone! ♥️🚘📺

@wilbertroget.bsky.social's @helldivers2.bsky.social OST is now available to pre-order on vinyl! helldivers2.lnk.to/vinylAW

Always great to see my dude @wilbertroget.bsky.social 💙

Introducing Impactizer! A Snap Heap preset that turns any audio signal into a stylized impact. Available now for free/donations if you’re feeling generous! natemaudio.gumroad.com/l/Impactizer

MUSIC PRODUCTION TIP: Whatever you *just* worked on? ....is probably too loud. :-) We have a tendency to lose perspective, especially when working on details, backgrounds, ear candy etc. So try instinctively turning whatever you just did down a few dB, taking breaks, and listening in mono!

MIXING TIP: You would be amazed how many problems can be solved with transient shaping! It can enhance attack to add bite to a rhythmic synth, dampen attack to give snares a roomier feel; always worth experimenting! I use the free Transpire Transient Processor VST: plugins4free.com/plugin/2777/

Monkey Man, Interior Chinatown, Arcane S2. Asian diaspora is out here in 2024 playing leads while hitting things.

@recordingacad.bsky.social / GRAMMY voters! Star Wars Outlaws Original Soundtrack by @wilbertroget.bsky.social is #GRAMMYs nominated for Best Score Soundtrack For Video Games and Other Interactive Media! Final round voting: Dec.12, 2024-Jan.3, 2025. #FYC #fycgrammys open.spotify.com/album/3vrLHR...

MUSIC PRODUCTION TIP: Got a repetitive riff that you'd like to sound sharper, more precise? Try subtly adding in a trance gate! I use Tremolator for this, low Depth + slight rush to the Feel to preserve acoustic instruments' attacks. Sounds more synthetic, but sometimes that's the goal for motors!

From Blizzard's Diablo & Overwatch to Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, @westofhouse.bsky.social knows how to build worlds with words. One of his tips for building vast and incredible worlds: The importance of emotional authenticity in characters. Full interview: area35east.com/interview-mi...

@wilbertroget.bsky.social and I chat about his score for Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, the influence of Japanese composers on his work (and the pressure of being the first non-Japanese composer on a Gundam project), crafting the perfect score release, and more! thefilmscorer.com/an-interview...

Ben was an amazing collaborator and brilliant additional music composer on #starwarsoutlaws - go give him a follow!
