A really nice look into the world of game audio
Although I have read books about game audio/music and seen endless YouTube videos on the subject - this course is well paced with Gary's gentle approach makes learning easy and pleasant. I was originally hoping for more about sound design, but in hindsight, that would have acted more as a distraction. Great course!
