Game Audio and Music: A New Book Covering FMOD and Game Audio Implementation

Hi everyone,

My name is Antonio, and I’m a composer, teacher, and sound designer. I’d like to share a project that has taken me almost two years of work and that I hope might be useful to people in this community.

I’ve recently published Game Audio and Music: Creation, Design, and Integration, a book that explores the game-audio process from both the creative and technical sides.

My goal was to bring the different parts of game audio together in one place: sound and music creation, sound design, interactive and adaptive audio, and, importantly, the implementation of audio into a game.

The book covers FMOD and its integration with Unity with a practical, hands-on approach. It also includes access to a downloadable project, allowing readers to work directly with the project and follow the implementation process rather than simply reading about it.

That practical side was particularly important to me: I wanted readers to be able to experiment with the concepts, understand how the different systems work together, and apply what they learn in an actual project.

The book is aimed at students and people taking their first steps into game audio, but also at composers, sound designers, and developers who want to understand the broader audio pipeline and how its different stages connect.

After almost two years of researching, writing, testing, revising, and putting everything together, it’s very satisfying to finally see the book published.

Since FMOD + Unity form an important part of the practical implementation covered in the book, I thought this community would be an appropriate place to share it.

The book is available in English and Spanish (Creación, diseño e integración de audio y música en videojuegos).

If anyone here takes a look, I’d really appreciate your feedback—especially from people working with FMOD and Unity.
