Reviews

Simon N Goodwin is one of the most knowledgeable and decent people you can meet in the Games industry. A true unsung hero, who has helped revolutionise audio. Murray Rigluth, former Director, Sony DADC Simon Goodwin has used Ambisonics in game development probably longer than anyone else. Stephan Schutze, Sound Librarian, award-winning sound designer with Oculus, Magic Leap and Facebook Spatial Audio teams, author of New Realities in Audio, A Practical Guide for VR, AR, MR and 360 Video (CRC Press) What he doesn't know about audio engineering is not worth knowing. [...] If you have even a passing interest in audio and audio for games, you should take a look at getting a copy. Justin Andrews, Senior Audio Programmer, Codemasters
