After Stefan Rutherford sent us an email with some questions regarding loudness & studio setup we decided to round up with Garry Taylor (SCEE) and Stefan to dig into this field. Especially since Garry managed to escape us at AES in London. We talk about the ASWG R-001 recommendation.

We get starting with a workout, get those vocals warmed up ’cause db cooper is showing us some punches in her second audio vignette.
We talk to Michael Kelly on the final day of AES. In particular we focus on scanners talk and the theme of the conference: inspiration. Where do our concepts & tools intersect with other art forms?
Damian seeks out some new faces and we talk about the conference and games we are looking forward to this year. Joe Gornall (sorry if i got this wrong fixed thanks Joe ), Mike Ryder, Danny McDermott & James Parnell

We wrap it up with the second installement of the sample library review Andreas & Anton listen to Boom Libraries “Historical Firearms” and Frank Bry’s Bullet HD pro.
