A bit late perhaps, but still an interesting overview of some of the sound panel discussions at this year’s GDC:
We checked out a number of panels, and rather than post about each one individually, I thought it would be more manageable for you guys if I simply gave a brief summary of each panel that we attended and focused on highlights from the session. There were definitely a lot of surprises, and even some information revealed about the composer of Metroid: Other M from a non-audio track session!
Read the whole overview over at the Original Sound Version blog.

May 4, 2010
Designing Sound has a detailed feature on planning and carrying out a gun recording session, featuring sound designer Chuck Russom:
In this article I’m going to share the approach I have used to plan and conduct gun sessions. I rely on professional, private party resources to provide weapons and locations. While others may have had success with police or military, I prefer working with the private sector as I can ensure that I can get the weapons I need, work in the locations that I choose, and work under my timeline. To get the results that I am after, I need to control as much of the process as possible. It takes a lot of effort to record guns and I want to be sure the effort pays off.
