What else but a bee would be our simulation? A freebie bee — Right enough with the wordplay. The instrument is using a HP filter to mimic the size of the insect (more bass equals a bee — medium a wasp and only high’s for a fly). There is panning control and X-Y shifts; going from wide to narrow relative of it’s center. There is an EQ section you can use to enhence some frequencies when using a more extreme pitched keys (C1>C2 — C5>C6). The sample used is a synthesized sound and is being looped.

We had great fun working on this trailer, as we immediately loved the art direction and character design. So let’s hope the kids love the result as much as we loved working on it

We did all sound design, the music editing and the mix.
Some of the moshi monster voices were kindly provided to us by Mind Candy, and we edited those sounds to match the on-screen action. Other characters did not have any audio for their vocalisations yet so we created those ourselves.

A little less new but also news worthy is Durk’s video tutorial “Massive Wobble Bass Explorations”. In this tutorial you can learn how to make Native instruments vst synth Massive wobble like we all love in dubstep and drum n bass. The tutorial is doing quiet good and is approaching the 100.000 views mark on Youtube!

We created all in-game sound effects for this game, apart from a few sounds that were taken from the original Dead Space. Also, we’ve worked on about half of the game’s animated comics: editing the music, dialogue and sound effects (using a library of Dead Space legacy sounds for creatures and weapons, and adding our own sound design where needed), and mixing all elements to create the finalised sound tracks.

The Audio Guys hired us for this project. The game is developed by Sumo Digital and published by EA.

Although there’s a fair amount of reviews online for this game, so far we’ve only found one that comments on the sound (well there’s other reviews where the dialogue is mentioned, but we weren’t involved in the recording of that):

“Sound: 8.
[...] the sound effects are good.” IGN

So what has been happening?
We have completed a lot of projects, some of which we can already talk about – you can find these in the news section… As soon as we can talk more about the other projects, we will of course update our site.

Meanwhile, to give a taste of what we are currently working on:

- a short film with gorgeous direction of photography
- a PSN/XBLA title of a very well known and frankly awesome games franchise
- a PC browser based adventure game
- various iPhone games
- dialogue post production on a triple A console title

There are also multiple projects in the pipeline for the upcoming months.

More info and gameplay examples to follow when the game is officially released.
