Hello all,

I couldn't find this on google, I hope I haven't missed it on here and I apologise if I have! 

I am learning FMOD designer and studio, and although I am blown away by the scope and awesomeness of both programs, I am having a problem with Designer. As soon as I try to use the audio player on the sound defs page (the actual sound defs one on the right, not the one for the individual source files), my FMOD just crashes. No error message, no nothing. I'm still a complete novice, but from what I've picked up so far it seems like this is going to be a major problem as it's a vital way of checking how your work will sound in game?

Could this be due to malpractice on my part? I've only created one test project so far and I haven't been too strict with filenames or importing audio into the project folder. If it helps, I'm using a mac running snow leopard, and believe I have the most recent version of both programs.

Big thanks to anybody who can shed light on this!

Hello all,

I've been working on showreels lately. It's something that I've not really had to do before, and I'm having a little trouble, in both knowing what I should do, and whether I'm doing it well.

So far, I've decided to split the music reels into two, one for dramatic orchestral music (my most developed area), and one for the other types of music that I can do and think that devs may want in their projects. I have kept them to around two minutes, with 15 - 20 second clips of tracks. Instead of synching the tracks to footage, I have simply made a short animation of my title and looped it (which of course will not be the case with the sound design demo!)

I have some experience scoring films, but I have kept the showreels all about listening.

Are these smart decisions? Here is the first one...

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! As I say, it would be nice to know whether this is something a dev would value being sent, and of course whether or not people think the music is good.

Thanks a lot!
