foot in the door of the game companies. It covers all the important topics from creating the
perfect demo reel to closing the deal, from choosing your tools to delivering top-notch audio.

easy and entertaining read topped off with lots of anecdotes and tricks of the trade taken

turning a serious eye towards a profitable career in the game audio business.”

appreciation into the very complicated process of writing music and creating sound design
for video games. Aaron has covered every possible subject that a person would encounter
from start to finish in the game audio process including valuable creative and technical
information as well as the ever-so-important—and many times most difficult part of the
job–art of business negotiations and contracts. He has also included numerous inserts from
other successful game audio professionals giving their real world perspectives and detailed
insights related to their own experiences. Great job Aaron!”
