[Request] Request on Game Music, Sound Development,Audio Gaming etc

Hello, my name is Aditya Sadhula and I am working on developing and programming for games, having 2+ years experience. Now I want to learn more about Sound Development, Audio Gaming and Game Music. Please tell me some of the best sites I can check and especially some offline resources/trainings that can help me gain some good experience.

Thanks in advance for all you members' help in this regard.

Thanks,
Aditya

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Gamasutra might be a good site for some insider knowledge, though I'm not sure if they delve deep enough into the technological details for you to be satisfied. The HCS Forum is mostly for reverse-engineering stuff.

Some GAMECUBE homebrew stuff could probably be a good way to start off.

Yo,

There are a few things you can do if you are interested in learning more about game audio.

1. Join the non-profit organization G.A.N.G. (Game Audio Network Guild) at Game Audio Network Guild - HOME

2. Get the book "The Complete Guide to Game Audio" by Aaron Marks and "Audio for Games: Planning, Process, and Production" by Alexander Brandon

3. Join the IGDA (if there is a local chapter in your area). News & Updates From Around IGDA | IGDA. They also have some great resources on their website such as: http://www.igda.org/breakingin/resources.htm

4. Check out the website Gamasutra - The Art & Business of Making Games

5. Definitely attend the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Game Developers Conference San Francisco 2010

Hope that helps!

aditya258 is part of a tag team spam duo: it creates a seemingly innocuous thread, and then a day later it's responded to by a different account which does the actual linking. There's been some actually useful content here, though, so I just deleted the payload post and I'll leave this open. God knows we could use more activity here.

(thanks Prime Blue for pointing this out)

I was speaking idiomatically.
