@Kartooneyy probably should've clarified I did the sound effects and not the music haha. Thanks though!

[Adam Schneider @AdamXAudio]

Loved getting to make the sound for this. Hope everyone enjoyed it!

@Niederquell @devolverdigital that's so so awesome, love how they did the little outfit haha

It's hard to explain just how much Mortal Kombat meant to me as a kid and (without me knowing it at the time) Dan Forden's work shaped me and sparked my interest in sound design. Absolutely legendary

[Ed Boon @noobde]

After an incredible 37 year career, on October 1st, Dan Forden (1/4 of the original Mortal Kombat team) began his well earned retirement. I cannot overstate the impact Dan has made on pinball, videogames, NetherRealm & especially Mortal Kombat.

A significant part of the first Mortal Kombat's identity was in its tone, mystique and outrageous presentation.

Remember the first time you saw & heard an uppercut?
The explosive impact..
The announcer's wicked laugh..
The "DUN DUN DUN" before a fatality?

Remember the amazing music that defined the atmosphere of the fighting arenas?

That was all Dan.

You may also know him as the (now infamous) "Toasty Guy" but Dan's audio single handedly created a literal atmosphere that played a major role in the feel and vibe of Mortal Kombat.

Please watch and (more importantly) listen to this video. Anything sound familiar? Bring back any memories? I hope you'll join us in thanking Dan for his amazing contributions to MK, and games in general.

I'm a *huge* Bob's Burgers fan so I was psyched to do the sound design for Bob's spatula pickaxe and burger of the day emote 🍔❤️

The best Dad trio is here! Snag the Hank Hill, Bob Belcher, and Cleveland Brown Outfits in the Shop…TONIGHT!

[Adam Schneider @AdamXAudio]

Psyched to have contributed sounds to this season, the whole audio team crushed it 🔥

Fortnite Galactic Battle is now live!

Happy to announce that I’m now an Audio Designer at Epic Games! I’ll be contributing to the incredible world of Fortnite, and I couldn’t be more excited!

[Adam Schneider @AdamXAudio]

After 8 amazing years at Firaxis, this is my last week. I’m forever grateful for the friendships and honored to have worked on XCOM 2, Midnight Suns, and Civilization VII (out next month!).

I’ll miss everyone but am incredibly excited for what’s next and can share more soon!

[Adam Schneider @AdamXAudio]

@PhillBoucher Same thing buddy, just set up an account and I'll follow you over there!

[Adam Schneider @AdamXAudio]

@NoiretBlancVie I picked up one of those last year and it’s really impressed me as a sample mangler. Once you get the hang of resampling and the workflow it’s really powerful what you can do with all the effects

Some late night synth jamming. The MiniFreak and Analog Rytm are a pretty great combo for glitchy weird noises!

[Sid Meier's Civilization VII @CivGame]

Listen closely to the sounds of Civilization.

More explorations with the new Oberheim TEO-5. It makes some really killer plucky bass sounds

[Adam Schneider @AdamXAudio]

@JulzVz When I was in college there was a period of time when me and all my other guitarist friends were trying to learn Technical Difficulties. Gilbert’s so iconic!

[Adam Schneider @AdamXAudio]

Really been loving the Oberheim TEO-5 so I made a video demoing some of the custom presets I've designed for it so far. There's a beautiful character to its sound and it can do a lot of tones I wouldn't expect from an analog synth! https://t.co/YPNpMCEZBD

[Adam Schneider @AdamXAudio]

Test driving my new Oberheim TEO-5 synth and my god do I love the sound of this thing. Really fun and flexible to program too

[Adam Schneider @AdamXAudio]

@BDolanSFR @JonahSenzel Really glad you liked it, I played it earlier this year and it really wowed me in a big way. Killer sound design + music too, elevated the whole experience
