-Man2 - The sounds of NYC come to life through many, many sonic layers. At street level the sounds of distant voices are recorded using ‘walla’ groups. This is a look at how we capture some of that.

Yes! The Actors are pros at this. Sometimes we’ll give them some story points so they can riff on game events, but it’s largely improv. Natural, charming moments emerge. Lots of clusters mix to our mid-distant chatter, placed on pedestrian clusters in-world.

In the chair, Tyler Hoffman. Tyler is my sound designer that led our Haptics work. I don’t think many realize it’s the sound team that handle all those controller vibrations. Tyler did amazing work on Spider-Man 2, the dualsense will dance in your hands.

Our dialog team is remarkable. It’s a massive effort from start to finish, ensuring every line finds the right energy and cadence. And, what a cast! Simply the best. Here’s Yuri in the booth, perfecting a react.

Marvels Spider-Man 2: way back when the wing suit was still a design glimmer, senior sound designer Herschel Bailey grabbed some balloon flaps on the fingers of our producer Jim Niemiec to add sonic color. Quick source grabs often work so well.

It depends on a few factors, but storyflow musings are sometimes in the topic-bucket a pedestrian might choose to pull from. The pedestrians, if you approach, may switch (from walla when distant in a group ) to solo lines or simple conversations. The writing still charms me.

Ultimate Spider-Man is still a favorite I worked on. The Venom back-break was me stepping on ice and egg shells. It was so satisfying to implement.

We did consider recording these groups outside for more accurate distance, and correct acoustics/ambience. But, LA is noisey!

Yeah - I’ve got a video somewhere of Tobey delivering a SpiderMan line in response to Scorpian: ‘those tailblasts hurt, but at least they don’t smell’. And he’s like, ‘oh, guys’. It was a good laugh. He was great in the studio.

This side of my studio is my WFH setup. I use Yamaha MSP5 powered speakers here, I’ve had them forever, they’re tough and fantastic. I think I originally got them as a robust PC speaker setup, and they just totally outclass their intended use. Love’em.

Found my old ‘ultimate spider-man’ sound design sessions. The ‘thwip’ sound was a combo of fabrese spray, ripping the stalks of Canna plants, and something I just slated as ‘goop’. Be descriptive in your slates, kidz.

I didn’t need another synth. Korg decided to blow out the opsix, and I couldn’t resist. I have a tx81z and an FS1r, so felt my FM studio needs were covered. But, the opsix is just remarkable in its approach, making FM incredibly tweak-able aside performance. A new favorite.

Insomniacs Spider-Man was a joy to play. It felt very familiar to me, having worked on several Spidey games, but they really perfected the feel. Shocker sounds were a favorite.

We have a really great time. It’s always been thrilling. Even the simplest things just always manage to put a smile on my face. There’s one particular sound in the game… I smile every time I hear it. It’s simple, but so effective.

Spring cleaning - unearthed an old box of ADAT tapes that went missing during the DESCENT days. Also a bunch of akai floppys and ancient tape loads for a Korg Polysix and OBX. Time capsule.

This was ready for my LA relo, where some of the best OG Oberheim techs reside - but covid delay’d the move. I couldn’t stand leaving this in its anvil any longer. It’s an 8 voice and needs tuning bad. I probably need to recap the power supply too. My bench isn’t big enough. Ha!

Taking the elevator downstairs, doors start to close, a few jump in. Doors start to close again, a few more jump in. Elevator starts chiming. Doors close, it continues repeating its chime all the way to the ground floor. Clearly, that elevator was pissed.
