Who cares about games?
• Majority of people in western world play games (75% of heads of households (in the United States) play computer or video games)
• average age for a game player is thirty• nearly half of game players are female (55%
male, 43% female). • “Women over the age of 18 represent a greater
portion of the gameplaying population (28%) than boys from ages 6 to 17 (21%).

What is game audio?
1. Dialogue/speech sounds
2. Sound effects
3. Music/score
4. Ambience
5. Interface sounds (menu, etc.)
![Page 6: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What’s wrong?
![Page 7: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How games are not movies:The problems of games audio
• Linearity Vs. Non-Linearity/ unpredictability, mixing
• Interactivity with player
• Temporality (length)
• Budgets
• Delivery methods/technology
![Page 8: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is Interactive Audio?
• sound events occur in direct reaction to a player’s movements. The player triggers the cue, and can repeatedly activate it, such as by making a character jump up and down.
![Page 9: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

What is adaptive audio?
• “adaptive” audio is generally referred to as sound that reacts to transformations in the gameplay environment—such as a change from day to night set by a game’s timer mechanism. Adaptive audio is not directly triggered by a player
![Page 11: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

What is Dynamic Audio
• Dynamic audio is a broad term to refer to both interactive and adaptive audio
![Page 13: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Problems (and some solutions) of Interactive Audio in Games
![Page 33: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Mixing: Problems:-too many sounds
-no “post production” mixing
-unpredictable timings: results in “muddy”,
clash of sounds
![Page 34: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Mixing Solutions!
• Reduce amount of sounds
• Control frequencies of sounds
• Assign priorities in code– E.g. dialogue = priority “1”
• Ambience = priority “4”• Gunshot = priority “2”• Music = priority “3”• Footsteps = priority “5”
![Page 35: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Problem: technological constraints
• Trying to write songs in a few kB for constrained technology such as mobile phones
![Page 36: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Solutions: technological constraints:
• Playing a single sample at different pitches to produce variation.
• The "pitch it up, play it down" technique for saving space.
![Page 37: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Sampling to save size
• This game contains only a single "trumpet fall" sound effect
• modify the playback sample rate so that each time you pick up a piece of cheese, the sound is played at a different pitch
• randomly vary the pitch during gameplay, so there's no repeating pattern to it
• The sound tends to mask the transition from one mix to another, helping to create a more seamless audio experience.
• same kind of pitch-shifting effect applied to car horn beeps: (fig 1)
![Page 38: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Sampling to save space• Another way to save space is using the "pitch it up, play
it down" technique. • take your original, high-resolution sound effect and
transpose it up an octave, halving the length. • Then convert it to a low-resolution compressed format,
like this: (cat growl, octave up, car start, octave up. Then in the game, play it down an octave: (octave down).
• Although the game sound might be a little crunchy, you've just cut the size of your file in half without losing too much audio fidelity. Obviously, the higher you pitch the sound, the "crunchier" the playback will become, but the technique can be used for custom instruments as well as sound effects, and is particularly effective on the tiny speakers in mobile devices.

• Problem: transitions from cue to cue– No “post” =
unpredictable timings– Abrupt jumps are
jarring
![Page 40: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
(1) Solution: transitions: Cross fade
![Page 41: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Problem: Multi-player interactivity
• Unscripted events!
• parameter-based music is difficult:– Music cannot be tied to specific events or
locations– Music cannot be tied to specific
parameters
![Page 42: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Solutions: multi-player interactivity
• Work with multi-players!
• Asheron’s Call II, Lord of the Rings: players can bring instruments and jam out with each other
![Page 43: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Solutions: Listener fatigue
• Learn how to use silence!
• “boredom switch”: timer for set levels to stop
• VARIABILITY!
![Page 46: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Dynamic Composition: Variability

![Page 47: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Variable tempo
![Page 48: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Variable tempo
![Page 49: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Variable pitch
![Page 50: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Variable Pitch
![Page 51: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Variable volume
![Page 52: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Variable DSP
• Change DSP effects to change music:– E.g. reverb to make it softer, dreamier– Phasing to create a “dazed” effect– Overdrive to make it more aggressive, etc.
![Page 53: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Variable melodies
• Ballblazer (1984): the music plays forever, without repeating itself but without straying too far from the original theme. The bassline doesn't vary at all, only the lead line in the higher register is algorithmically varied.
![Page 54: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Variable harmony
• Asheron’s Call 2: changes in mode indicate changes in gameplay:– A player standing alone in an area would
hear the background score in Lydian, but as creatures fill the area, the music transitioned to Phrygian. If monsters outnumber player, music transition to diminished mode and quickened drum groove
![Page 55: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Variable mixing
• Adjust mix by– Bringing instruments up in mix that were
quiet or silent before– Drop elements from mix
![Page 56: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Cheese Racer
• Muting and unmuting multiple tracks in a MIDI file to produce various mixes.– 2 drum loop samples,– three tones: bass, melody and chords
• In the code for the first level, ten different combinations of tracks: percussion + bass, percussion + bass + melody, bass + melody + chords, etc.
![Page 57: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
(cont..)
Notice how the mix changes every time the mouse gets a piece of cheese. (Fig 2 : exit) (Fig 3)
• Music loop 40 seconds. 10 different combinations: therefore, each level has more than 6 minutes of different music mixes. “Because the mix changes depending on gameplay, the music will never play exactly the same way twice, thereby increasing variation and decreasing "ear fatigue."”
• In fact, there are two more sets of tracks playing two more styles of music, using the same tempo and percussion tracks as the first level.
• Entire game contains almost 20 minutes of various music mixes, using only 68K of compressed sample and MIDI data.
![Page 58: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Variable structure
• Create “transition matrix”: chart out all possible directions for each sequence, and create transitions for marker points/jumps
![Page 62: Video Game Music Overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54ba04f34a7959693b8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
