Game Developers Conference, San Jose, next week.

[dwdonehoo]

Next week is the Game Developers Conference. I will be working for the GDC (rubbing shoulders with the likes of and Jeremy Soule, Bill Brown and others, heh heh http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif ) , and there is not a person on this board I would not want to say hello to and shake their hand. If you plan to go, try to chase me down so we can press the flesh and maybe chat. Respond and maybe we can schedule a meet time for the gang here that is attending. I do not know what my hours will be yet but next monday I will know. Naturally I will be attending the “Audio Track” meetings as much as time allows. Here is where the audio stuff is on the GDC site:

For the rest of you poor sods who cannot make it (or just not interested), if you would like a report on any area of interest, I will try to accomidate you. And no, I cannot get you in for free (they unreasonably expect their $150 up front). See some of you there I hope! http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif

Anyway, come on by, introduce yourself and at least say hello!

I\'m VERY busy, and probably wont have the time to go, but I may try and snag a pass and head down. I really depends on how next week turns out on workload.

Dowle you can page me at (866)-209-1315

I still want to hook up iwth the Audio guyus and have a beer or so, but like I said. May be too busy.

Interested in heargin about GANG and the audio conferences. I\'ve missed GDC for too many years. USually because budget and time only allow for one show E3 or GDC. While GDC is great for development info, I like to have fun too http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif so E3 is the one for that http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif

Funny too...since GDC is only about 30-40 minutes away

Maarten,
You\'d LIKE Monterey. Beautiful area, right on the Pacific, soo you\'re not too far from that salt air!

C\'mon down. (Of course, you\'d lose whatever goverment support The Netherlands offers, but you could get to the conferences. (Alternative, get a government grant and OPEN YOUR OWN CONFERENCE! The Concertgebouw is a perfect location...) Then WE can drool over YOUR conference (Like Musikmesse-I know it\'s not in your country, but you\'re a LOT closer than we are, and now you don\'t have to worry about money conversion!)

Dasher

KI sez: \"Page me...Interested in heargin about GANG and the audio conferences.\"

Next Monday I get my work schedule, but better yet, they have the party-crawl on Friday night (which usually is a blast), no stinking badges necessary, and that might be a good time to link up with everybody. On another forum others expressed a desire to get together. I have your pager number, and my number is on my web site: can always leave a message. Monday evening I will have a better idea of things.

[Maarten Spruijt]

Hehe well Soundsmith... I prefer the nice scent of woods, trees and birds (not that you small the latter) over salt sea. But anyway... it would be rather... nice!

[Aaron Levitz]

I had to go with \"Tutorials Only,\" which is ironically $300 more expensive than the Audio Track <a>(the irony being that I don\'t think I can get into the Audio sessions)</a>.

This was a particularly tough decision with so many great libraries released in that pricerange. The temptation was overwhelming. Hopefully, I will return with no regrets.

I\'ll check back here for everyone\'s schedule, see if we can\'t meet up somewhere...

Doyle--if you see Bill Brown, try to get him to explain how he achieves those killer mixes!

[dwdonehoo]

Phattlippz, you and me too: One of my first questions and hopefully he will answer. He has some of the best mixes I have heard anywhere. He uses live musicians, but not all the time, and his sound is consistant. For those wondering what I mean, go here:

*Bump* Just so it is easier for me to track for monday. OK, I am lazy. So shot me. http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/tongue.gif

[zquarles]

Wish I could make it but we are currently trying to get Soldier of Fortune 2 to Gold status.
so...tired...

Update for Bay Area Locals:

The best day for locals to get together would be Friday: A massive party begins at about 6:30, no badges required. We could meet somewhere local then take on the roving party which is really something to experience. Also, if we do get together, I can bring you up to date on some of the conferences I will be attending, like GANG (Game Audio Network Guild, I will get membership forms if available), Business Issues for Audio Professionals, Adapting Cinematic Film Scores to Games, Interactive Composition Roundtable, etc. If you are interested, check in here or email me (see link below). I will be out a lot this week but I will try to check in every day.

OBTW, the name of my pass is called a GIGGA PASS. http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif It also would normally cost $1700. Already the swag is rolling in. Got a bag full alread, and the conference is not on till tomorrow. Heh heh.

Anyway, lemme know...
