Game Audio Principles
Sound design and music integration for immersive game experiences.
1. Audio Category System
Category Definitions
Category
Behavior
Examples
Music
Looping, crossfade, ducking
BGM, combat music
SFX
One-shot, 3D positioned
Footsteps, impacts
Ambient
Looping, background layer
Wind, crowd, forest
UI
Immediate, non-3D
Button clicks, notifications
Voice
Priority, ducking trigger
Dialogue, announcer
Priority Hierarchy
When sounds compete for channels:
1. Voice (highest - always audible)
2. Player SFX (feedback critical)
3. Enemy SFX (gameplay important)
4. Music (mood, but duckable)
5. Ambient (lowest - can drop)
2. Sound Design Decisions
SFX Creation Approach
Approach
When to Use
Trade-offs
Recording
Realistic needs
High quality, time intensive
Synthesis
Sci-fi, retro, UI
Unique, requires skill
Library samples
Fast production
Common sounds, licensing
Layering
Complex sounds
Best results, more work
Layering Structure
Layer
Purpose
Example: Gunshot
Attack
Initial transient
Click, snap
Body
Main character
Boom, blast
Tail
Decay, room
Reverb, echo
Sweetener
Special sauce
Shell casing, mechanical
3. Music Integration
Music State System
Game State → Music Response
│
├── Menu → Calm, loopable theme
├── Exploration → Ambient, atmospheric
├── Combat detected → Transition to tension
├── Combat engaged → Full battle music
├── Victory → Stinger + calm transition
├── Defeat → Somber stinger
└── Boss → Unique, multi-phase track

4. Adaptive Audio Decisions
Intensity Parameters
Parameter
Affects
Example
Threat level
Music intensity
Enemy count
Health
Filter, reverb
Low health = muffled
Speed
Tempo, energy
Racing speed
Environment
Reverb, EQ
Cave vs outdoor
Time of day
Mood, volume
Night = quieter
Vertical vs Horizontal
System
What Changes
Best For
Vertical (layers)
Add/remove instrument layers
Intensity scaling
Horizontal (segments)
Different music sections
State changes
Combined
Both
AAA adaptive scores
5. 3D Audio Decisions
Spatialization
Element
3D Positioned?
Reason
Player footsteps
No (or subtle)
Always audible
Enemy footsteps
Yes
Directional awareness
Gunfire
Yes
Combat awareness
Music
No
Mood, non-diegetic
Ambient zone
Yes (area)
Environmental
UI sounds
No
Interface feedback
Distance Behavior
Distance
Sound Behavior
Near
Full volume, full frequency
Medium
Volume falloff, high-freq rolloff
Far
Low volume, low-pass filter
Max
Silent or ambient hint
6. Platform Considerations
Format Selection
Platform
Recommended Format
Reason
PC
OGG Vorbis, WAV
Confirm engine support; codec/container choice does not license the audio content
Console
Platform-specific
Certification
Mobile
MP3, AAC
Size, compatibility
Web
WebM/Opus, MP3 fallback
Browser support
Memory Budget
Game Type
Audio Budget
Strategy
Mobile casual
10-50 MB
Compressed, fewer variants
PC indie
100-500 MB
Quality focus
AAA
1+ GB
Full quality, many variants
7. Mix Hierarchy
Volume Balance Reference
Category
Relative Level
Notes
Voice
0 dB (reference)
Always clear
Player SFX
-3 to -6 dB
Prominent but not harsh
Music
-6 to -12 dB
Foundation, ducks for voice
Enemy SFX
-6 to -9 dB
Important but not dominant
Ambient
-12 to -18 dB
Subtle background
Ducking Rules
When
Duck What
Amount
Voice plays
Music, Ambient
-6 to -9 dB
Explosion
All except explosion
Brief duck
Menu open
Gameplay audio
-3 to -6 dB
8. Anti-Patterns
Don't
Do
Play same sound repeatedly
Use variations (3-5 per sound)
Max volume everything
Use proper mix hierarchy
Ignore silence
Silence creates contrast
One music track loops forever
Provide variety, transitions
Skip audio in prototype
Placeholder audio matters
Provide independent music/SFX/voice controls, captions for dialogue and essential audio cues, and visual/haptic alternatives. Test muted gameplay and avoid loudness/clipping; priority/mix levels above are starting points, not guaranteed safe listening levels.
When to Use
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
Limitations
Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
