About the course

Ready to turn the dial up on your game's audio

Whether you’re tired of browsing lacklustre sound libraries or just itching to put your signature spin on game soundtracks, we’ve got just the adventure for you!

Dive into the world of foley and audio processing without needing a PhD in sound engineering. We’re talking about getting down with DIY sounds that will have your games bursting with originality.

Ever wondered how to make a punch sound like it could actually knock out a dragon? Or a sword clash that sends shivers down players' spines? We’ll show you the ropes, from capturing the raw sounds to mixing them into ear-catching effects. And yes, we’re doing lasers and jetpacks too—because who doesn’t love a good sci-fi vibe?

No more confusion about compressors, EQs, and reverbs. We break down audio effects in a way that won’t break your brain. It’s all about making it fun and easy to learn, with plenty of hands-on projects to get your sounds from the studio to the screen.

And because we know you want to see your creations in action, we’ll walk you through integrating these sounds into popular game engines (Unreal, Unity & Godot). It’s one thing to make a cool sound; it’s another to hear it live in the environment it was made for.

You don’t need fancy gear to jump into this course. We’ll provide all the sound recordings from our lessons for you to use in your games, and we'll show you where to snag more online.

But hey, if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and make your own (because who doesn’t love the thrill of pounding their own drum—or meat!), all you need is your phone!

So, are you ready to be the maestro of your game’s auditory realm? Let’s make some noise and bring your digital worlds to life with sounds that are uniquely yours. Trust us, your games are about to sound incredible!
