Game Audio Programming 3: Principles & Practices

Game Audio Programming 3: Principles and Practices

Welcome to the third volume of Game Audio Programming: Principles and Practices―the first series of its kind dedicated to the art and science of game audio programming. This volume contains 14 chapters from some of the top game audio programmers and sound designers in the industry. Topics range across game genres (ARPG, RTS, FPS, etc.), and from low-level topics such as DSP to high-level topics like using influence maps for audio.

The techniques in this book are targeted at game audio programmers of all abilities, from newbies who are just getting into audio programming to seasoned veterans. All of the principles and practices in this book have been used in real shipping games, so they are all very practical and immediately applicable. There are chapters about split-screen audio, dynamic music improvisation, dynamic mixing, ambiences, DSPs, and more.

This book continues the tradition of collecting modern, up-to-date knowledge and wisdom about game audio programming. So, whether you’ve been a game audio programmer for one year or ten years, or even if you’ve just been assigned the task and are trying to figure out what it’s all about, this book is for you!

Key Features

Cutting-edge advanced game audio programming concepts with examples from real game audio engines

Includes both high-level and low-level topics

Practical code examples, math, and diagrams that you can apply directly to your game audio engine.

Guy Somberg has been programming audio engines for his entire career. From humble beginnings writing a low-level audio mixer for slot machines, he quickly transitioned to writing game audio engines for all manner of games. He has written audio engines that shipped AAA games like Hellgate: London, Bioshock 2, The Sims 4, and Torchlight 3, as well as smaller titles like Minion Master, Tales from the Borderlands, and Game of Thrones. Guy has also given several talks at the Game Developer Conference, the Audio Developer Conference, and CppCon. When he’s not programming or writing game audio programming books, he can be found at home reading, playing video games, and playing the flute.

WXAudio NANI Plugin v2.0.0 VST3 [WIN]

By | March 15, 2022

WXAudio Nani Plugin v2.0.0 [WIN]

WXAudio NANI Plugin v2.0.0 VST3 [WIN]

Nani Plugin is new distortion plugin, as funny as it may look, it actually does a great job.

Features:

Five unique algorithms ranging from gentle saturation to incredibly destructive distortion.

Precise filtering, tone control, and signal blending to achieve infinite possibilities

Compatibility:

Plugin is only available in VST3 format.
Developers ditched 32-Bit version currently, if they decide to release it again I will make a Repack.

What`s new:

Audio

Added over sampling. You can find this new option in the little pop up menu under the 4 bottom dials

Characters

Suki – A crazed distortion deviant who is a bit more into it than the other characters.
NANI Announcer Sato – Finally NANI diversifies and adds a male character. Don’t worry, there’s no dong.
Added a Bio button for all the characters. Just thought it was cool to expand the lore a little.

Achievements

Added achievements and stat tracking to the plugin.
I think this is a really cool feature for plugins. I feel like we use plugins so often, and people love to rep which plugins they use, why not add stats?

There are some pretty easy achievements, some very hard, and some that are a bit of a mystery on how to unlock. We look forward to seeing the progress the community makes!
(If the achievement system does well, we aim to put a new plugin out in the near future that expands even further on this idea.)

FOR THE USERS

The achievement system is a pretty new idea and has not been tested in every DAW. Each DAW handles plugins differently, so some DAWs may not respond correctly. PLEASE let us know if you experience any issues with your particular DAW, or just the achievements in general.

Improvements

The validation system has been slightly overhauled, which will hopefully fix any issues of the validation seemingly failing after several months of use. It’s not impossible for it to happen again, but there should be far fewer cases.
Improvements for the start-up of the plugin to reduce delay time.
Improvements to the memory management of the plugin to reduce memory footprint.
Fixed most issues with some characters animations .

Secret

Without saying much, I’m a big fan of convoluted easter eggs in video games, so I added one to NANI. Good luck! There’s a prize at the end. ​

Formats

We did not include a 32 bit format of this update, as continuing support for 32 bit is becoming more and more obsolete.
