Hello! It's just me this time, Barney, as Derek is over in San Francisco this month for GDC. As I had the opportunity to take this episode, I decided to do something a bit different. This month I took the opportunity to dive into the world of field recording, and explore the area specifically focusing on entry level sound designers looking to invest in their first recorder. I really hope you enjoy the episode, I had a lot of fun making it!

Soundbytes Podcast - EP 51 - 10,000 Hours (and how to spend them)

Hello! Welcome back to episode fifty of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. This episode we catch up with our friend Katie Tarrant, who we previously chatted to in episode 7, back in 2017!
Katie is a senior sound designer and musician at Rare, and has spent the past few years working on Sea of Thieves. We chatted with Katie about her work at Rare, her journey into the industry and internships, reflected on the impact of the pandemic, and discussed wider changes in the industry over the last few years.
It was a real pleasure to chat to Katie again! We hope you enjoy the conversation and benefit from Katie's excellent wisdom.
