Sayed: To begin with, can you tell us about yourself and FMOD?īrett Paterson: My name is Brett Paterson, and I am the CEO of Firelight Technologies and original developer on FMOD, which has been available for over 10 years now. How does FMOD take advantage of technology like the Xbox One’s on-board audio processor? We find out below, along with other details. GamingBolt spoke to Firelight CEO Brett Paterson about FMOD and the tools it offered along with its future potential. Such tools are all the more important in the current generation of consoles like the Xbox One and PS4 which boast significantly more powerful audio hardware than their predecessors. Firelight Technologies handles this with FMOD but has since grown to creating interactive events and music while also facilitating connections between the game and the audio data being created. There has to be an infrastructure capable of handling these sounds and playing them back in 3D.

It’s not always about creating the best SFX or soundtrack though.

This is an understatement but games in general can live or die by the quality of audio they offer. For everything we hear about graphics, a fair amount of work also goes into the game’s sound.
