How to Break Into Game Audio
- The best way is to get a temporary internship with a studio.
- If you can’t find work elsewhere, it’s important to get experience by teaching yourself.
- Get started by buying and trying new gear.
- Download and try industry software: Wwise, FMOD, Unreal Engine, and Unity.
Is wwise difficult?
The projects that I’ve worked on have been small indie games where everyone still had day jobs so middleware was well out of the question. Looking at screenshots and reading the features Wwise doesn’t sound particularly difficult to pick up with if you have knowledge of sequencers and other audio software.
Is Wwise free?
A Free Trial version of Wwise is available as a public download on our website. This version has limitations but does not expire. The Free Trial version allows you to create a project for non-commercial use only and is limited to 200 media assets in the Wwise SoundBanks.
