Postgraduate Certificate in Soundtracks in Video Games

The soundtrack in video games is the music and sound effects used in games to help create the right atmosphere and enhance the player's experience. The soundtrack can influence the player's emotion and tension, increase immersion in the game world and enhance the overall experience.

Music in games can be an original piece composed for the game, or it can be licensed music from existing artists. Most games have a mixture of both, with original music used at key moments in the game, and licensed music used to enhance the overall atmosphere.

In addition to music, sound effects are also important in creating the right atmosphere in video games. Sound effects can include guns, explosions, doors opening, footsteps, voices, among others, and can have a great impact on the gaming experience.

Sound technology has also advanced significantly in recent years, allowing for greater complexity in sound effects and a greater ability to create more realistic sound experiences. Some games also use spatial sound technology to create a more immersive and realistic listening experience, which can be especially important in virtual reality games.

In summary, the soundtrack in video games is a key part of the gaming experience, as it can influence emotion and immersion in the game world, enhance the overall atmosphere, and increase the games' ability to tell stories. The music and sound effects are carefully selected to ensure an auditory experience that accompanies and enhances the gameplay experience.

This course is ideal for those looking to work in the video game industry as composers, sound designers or audio engineers. It could also be useful for those interested in general music production and creating soundtracks for film or other forms of media.
