Vroom vroom. Sonic go fast. Subaru go fast. I worked on the sound/music edit and mix on this rally cool piece. I’ll drop some things I learnt on this in the reply

Finally, trust in yourself. If you don’t think something sounds good, or isn’t finished. It isn’t. If you think you can make it better, you can. Listen to your inner critic and make something you can be happy with. Then that’s the best you can do.
Then tomorrow it sucks, that’s tomorrow’s problem.

I found that some sweeteners that I had created and manipulated, like animals and synths. Actually sometimes sounded exactly like the engine and was way less on the nose than being just a growl, or feeling separated

I know we all love a plugin. Although besides a bit of limiting, I didn’t really overprocess. I spent way more time finding sounds that worked in soundminer than in trying to make a sound work with pluggys

Tom Jaine @tomjaine.bsky.social · May 22

The music was in stems, but it was extremely repetitive and clicky. I found that just re arranging and muting many elements, help drastically. Then trying to find the drama and work around that with building up and dropping out the energy

Tom Jaine @tomjaine.bsky.social · May 22

So much detail gets lost with this kind of full range music. Picking the areas to design a cool little flourish is time well spent

Using matchbox was the worst mistake I made when conforming. Manually, although feels more time consuming. Is much more accurate in this scenario

Astrobot is nearly an amazing game. If it wasn’t for all of the controversy about the politically charged story. What if an alien creature stole your ps5 and its components. How would you feel? Who would you feel swayed to vote for now?
