Admin Rodney Posted March 19, 2014 Admin Share Posted March 19, 2014 For both PC and Mac... I don't know a lot about this so wont comment much except to say I'll put in a recommendation to check this out. (translation: Go get it!) Especially for those of you included toward music, foley and audio effects. What's the skinny? Unless your budget is $100K or more you can now use these tools for free. If over $100K then you'll need to license. Note: FMod was free for non-commericial projects before but now it is officially free for independent commercial projects. http://www.fmod.org http://www.fmod.org/download/ The pitch here is more toward realtime audio for development of games but this can be leveraged by the small studio and independent animator. I don't know the details but also note that due to this release several other audio software/services have expanded their services to independent artists. Added: The software comes with example music and sound effects that will be well worth your time to download as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted March 19, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted March 19, 2014 The realtime looping and editing capabilities are pretty sweet. I didn't see a direct export to .wav or .midi but there is an 'open in external audio editor' option which opened a copy of edited sounds in Audacity.

Admin Rodney Posted March 20, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted March 20, 2014 One of the interesting aspects of FMod Studio is the 3D Panner which you can quickly adjust to position of sound within your 3D scene. Here's a video tutorial that discusses some of the thought, theory and application of 3D sound: CJ3rpZGrHh0 Note that many of the video tutorials in the FMod series discuss the concepts behind the tools which will be useful even if not using FMod.

Admin Rodney Posted March 20, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted March 20, 2014 For those into game development... which is the primary purpose of FMod... you may find this video tutorial of interest, especially with regard to integrating with Unity 3D: ImTzouwFC4w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted March 20, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted March 20, 2014 An alternative program with similar licensing is WWise. Tutorials from one application are largely transferrable to the other. Audiokinetic Wwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
