A Structured Process for Planning Game Audio in Production
summary
Advocates budgeting audio in pre-production with concrete deliverables: build an audio asset list (SFX counts, durations, UI, themes), shop rates, and use a simple budget template that computes totals; hire at least a sound designer early if possible. Recommends middleware like Wwise or FMOD (and Elias), DAW Reaper (~$60), learning Unity/Unreal for implementation, and reserving 15–30% of budget for audio with composer: $300–$1,000 per finished minute and a 5% buffer.
