I recently posted that games in 2026 should finally start using voice overs for their text on screen. Got DMs from a few game devs, so here's a food for thought for all game designers: prashantmishra.xyz/blog/article... #gameaudio #gamedev #voiceovers #sounddesign #gamedesign

Now that it’s 2026, can we have all new games use voice overs, and not make us painfully read through their lengthy narratives & dialogues as text on screen? There are really no excuses left, except of course for the ‘need’ to avoid hiring an audio person in the team! #gamedev #gameaudio

Happy New Year 2026 🎉 Let there be more collaborations and no w*rs! Have a fun one everyone.

Something we always wanted! Meta's new SAM Audio brings it. Now that the tech is available, it can be added to DAWs and NLEs as native features or as plugins quick. Just a matter of time. Possibly within 2026. prashantmishra.xyz/blog/article... #musictech #stemseparation #meta #ml #multimodal

GADA humbly asks for your support this #GivingTuesday to help champion a more diverse & inclusive #GameAudio industry!

Tech companies are hesitant to say that ML is just pure mathematics and probability and instead say it’s a “intelligent black box” because that brings revenue. People need some kind of story to believe in. Noone says that “neurone” in ML is just a Metaphor because that will break the story. 1/3

Severance on Apple TV can so use this song. Very much in its style. music.apple.com/in/album/rai...

Just simplifying the laborious work, while keeping creative control in the sound design workflow for films & videos. The new @getsoundly.bsky.social x Premiere Pro integration is here to help. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDM-... #sounddesign #postproduction #filmmaking #storytelling #videoediting

Critical thinking is a skill, and in a world of deepfakes, an important one. Yet it’s still not taught or encouraged in schools because doing so will lead to the demolishing* of religions, a cash-cow* that no one wants to have a beef* with. *puns intended.

We just released two new QuickStart tutorials to get FMOD up and running in your game engine today! One for Unity - youtu.be/dgaFfvyTss0 And one for Unreal - youtu.be/9ehp1aqtDuI We've got plenty more videos coming up very soon too!

Hey #musictech, here's a fun challenge: show me ONE music publishing founder / startup whose language is not driven by instilling FOMO or fear among artists. 😀

Resume-based recruitment is a broken system since forever, with extremely poor success rate (possibly single digit!). Yet, LinkedIn and similar apps thrive on selling this concept and the majority of the world still believes in it. 1/3 #gameaudio #sounddesign #proaudio #musictech

Here’s the full version of what I had prepared in my notes to conclude Audio Developer Conference’s ADC25 Open Mic, that I hosted on 12th November 2025. I feel this should be a food for thought for everyone who builds tools for creatives, so here it goes: prashantmishra.xyz/blog/article...

An AI for an AI makes the whole world blind.

Hey voice editors: Why are we in a rush? I understand retention time gets rewarded through ads, but have we compromised a normal life because of it? Why are all interviews edited to remove pauses? 1/5 #postproduction #voicedesign #sounddesign #podcasts

Anyone into poetry here? Here’s the poem called “Hataash (Despair)” (translated, poorly) by Vinod Kumar Shukla, a Hindi poet from India. It’s much more relevant today than ever, especially when human value and that of art is at an all time low. Do you still relate to it?

Found a really cool album. Echoey, experimental, pitch bent sounds, and catchy ear candies. music.apple.com/in/album/goo...

Reading is the most important skill of today and the future. Everything else can be replaced, but the ability to read quick will have no match. Not even fast paced audio that becomes unintelligible quick.

Roland & Neutone collaborated to bring ML to hardware pedals. Project Lydia is an example that confirms that form factor will play a major role in the tech of the future. Here’s my article from last year anticipating the same idea. prashantmishra.xyz/blog/article... #musictech #gameaudio #proaudio

The talk on channel agnosticism in Metasounds by Aaron McCleran at ADC was a masterclass in product philosophy, and I use that phrase rarely for anything. It’s not just a feature, but a way to redefine some key elements in audio that we all knew were needed but nobody got to it at scale. #gameaudio

Nobody at ADC could identify the DAW. Hint: Check my Insta feed 😄 There’s also the new owners of the application in the image, if you look for it. You gotta proactively follow the industry for 15 years to know the answer. #musictech #proaudio #daw #mikeshinoda @audiodevcon.bsky.social #audiodevcon

Hey folks, I rerecorded my 2024 GameSoundCon talk "Unreal Audio Essentials (Abridged)" as a 2hr off-the-cuff version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=swS6... #UnrealAudio #Essentials #Keyword

In my experience of travelling the world so far, the people who have made me aware of my skin colour are almost always from the US. Often without saying it out loud. That’s some skill right there. “Don’t sweat the small stuff” always comes to the rescue.

Everytime I see my pictures from a stage presentation, I remind myself to stop doing the hand gestures dance 🤷‍♂️ And then I do it again anyway. Call for talks for ADCx India 26 will be live soon.

Today Steinberg released Cubase 15,m. The new Singing voices is an affirmation that you gotta meet users where they are and in a way that requires no user behaviour change! And users are definitely not in the browser for AI voices (if you’re still taking the easy way out making web apps, wake up!)

Here's my suggestion about what DAWs need to focus on in 2026 when it comes to the use of machine learning. prashantmishra.xyz/blog/article... #musictech #gameaudio #proaudio #product #idea

“People who don’t know what they’re doing, are in-charge” is a common issue in the world right now. Most “AI first” startups (easy VC funding) are practising the same. If their dataset is audio files, they claim to be building music industry. Image ones, Hollywood. Both knowing nothing about either!

Double Damian's on today's #WwiseUpOnAir????!?! Hope to catch you in the chat for today's deep d(r)ive into vehicle narrative audio storytelling! See you soon #GameAudio #GameMusic!

Omnisphere 3 is here! What? www.spectrasonics.net/products/omn...

The new “battery drain” feature on iOS 26 is clearly the feature of the decade. Works so well! Just wondering if there’s a way to disable it. I don’t think I was ready for such brilliant stuff.

Why is everything a video these days? I do not need ten minutes and high production values to absorb one paragraph's worth of information, tyvm

What podcasts are you all listening to these days? Specifically around sound, music & life?

Just sent out a fresh SoVGA.com #gameaudio community update for your weekend reading with plenty of helpful updates 😊 !
