I challenged myself to treat my new Game Audio Reel like a test video for a game company and whipped this up in under 40hrs. Any feedback before I put this on my website would be greatly appreciated!

@WaveConnects @netflix I can't watch this with my internet still down after nearly 48hrs. Might be time to switch to Comcast 🤷‍♂️

[Ryan Steinbach @SoundSteinbach]

@WaveConnects DMed yall a while ago and no response, loving the lack of communication from a telecommunications company! 👌

[Ryan Steinbach @SoundSteinbach]

@WaveConnects Yall don't have an email for customer support? Guess I'll "DM" yall 🤷‍♂️

[Ryan Steinbach @SoundSteinbach]

@astoundconnects Yall have some of the worst customer support especially during an all day outage. The 24/7 automated help line is a joke and there's nothing on your website to even email someone to get a refund for the entire day we paid for to not have internet. Guess I gotta tweet yall 🤷‍♂️

Being a sound designer for games has got me thinking so much about variations in sounds that I'm now subconsciously changing the pitches of my sneezes like a random container in Wwise 😅 #gameaudio

[Ryan Steinbach @SoundSteinbach]

@WaveConnects Internet has been out for almost 12hrs straight, no word on when it'll be back online. People work from home during the pandemic and this is ridiculous. And don't tell me to DM account info just get Seattle back online, thanks!

Anyone of my sound game or film friends that need any help with sound work right now? Still waiting to hear back from a few companies I'm interviewing with and I need something to do to pay the bills in the meantime. Could really use some work if anyone needs some help ❤️

[Ryan Steinbach @SoundSteinbach]

@itsgreglester @BeckySAudio @pmishraofficial This is awesome, thanks for sharing so much game audio knowledge and resources Gregg! Looking forward to this for sure! 😊

[Ryan Steinbach @SoundSteinbach]

@PowerUpAudio @24hrhz Thanks again for having me on the show yall! The feedback and viewers were all amazing and super helpful. I can't wait to polishing up my reel/ website and continue my game audio journey, cheers!

[Ryan Steinbach @SoundSteinbach]

I'm very excited one of the short films I did all the post sound for recently won a Silver Telly Award! I'm really proud and happy for the whole team who worked so hard to make this film come to life!

@colin_stetson Oof, can't wait to hear what you did for this one! 👌

[Ryan Steinbach @SoundSteinbach]

@EA, I've applied to a few different audio positions and can't upload "work examples" due to a 2MB file size limit. I compressed a really short video file and it was still too big. Do yall just want a one shot, mp3 sound effect or can we bump up that file size limit? Thanks!

Here's a behind the scenes look at how I recorded some of the score for a really cool horror short film I'm currently working on, enjoy!

Math formula of the day:

Waiting to hear back about 2 different test videos at 2 bigger game companies + waiting to hear back about a new apartment application = Refreshing your email so much that your fingers get sore 😅

🔊SOUND ON 🔊 Started scoring a horror film where the temp music is Collin Stetson's score for Hereditary. Bought a plastic JSax for the project (never played a woodwind instrument in my life so these are my first toots) along with some rub mallets.

@GiganticCranium I learned a similar trick not to long ago. I edit crowd recordings in PT, bounce out, open Wwise, build some random containers for different reactions/intensities, set the randomization parameters, and then route the output of wwise into PT and record the randomization.
