Anton & Damian are joined by a ton of people, including Andreas Varga, who together with Anton toke the stage at GDC official day 1 to do their talk about the next gen dynamic audio system of Killzone Shadow Fall. Of course the other talks are also dissected, Killer Instinct, Tomb Raider, etc etc. A discussion ensues about many things, collaboration, the use of bows in sound design are not the least of which. We also look ahead at the day of course.
It got so busy that unfortunately not everybody is as intelligible as we would like. Need to find a new approach for next year.

GDC14 coverage is on! Damian and Anton meetup with lots of friends. A bit of speedskating and a lot of “what have you been up to this yea” while we get things in order. Sound quality note: trying out an experiment with a setup with sanken cub-1s on the 722 and a sony m1. Now its not always phase locked… But judging overall the intelligbility is there.
