Game sound design services
Our game sound design services cover the music and sound effects players hear for hours. We compose the music and design the effects together, so they fit each other from the start.
- Plays for
- Hours of play
- Music
- Loops without an audible restart
- Made together
- Music, ambiences, effects, and more
A few kinds of game audio
Start with the music for the menus and the main levels, and the effects for what players do most. Ambiences and music for new levels can follow as the game grows.
Game music
Themes and music for levels and key moments, written to keep playing for as long as a player stays.
Ambiences
Background sound that makes each place in the game feel different, from a forest to a city street.
Sound effects
Effects for actions, characters, and the world, often made with the same instruments as the music.
Menu sounds
Sounds for menus and messages, so the game sounds the same from the first screen on.
Sound outside the game
Trailers and announcement videos need music, and we can write it from the game’s own themes. We also make the music for launch events and esports streams. Ask us about your game.
How we make the sound of your game
Step 1
Brief
Send a build, a video, or the design document, and tell us which moments matter most.
Step 2
Direction
We send a first theme and a few effects, so you hear the direction in the game before we make the full set.
Step 3
Production
We compose the music and design the ambiences and effects together, so nothing fights the score.
Step 4
Delivery and updates
You get every file cut and looped for your engine, and we make new music and sounds for updates.
Questions about game audio
How much does game music cost?
It depends on how many minutes of music the game needs and how many levels and moments get their own piece. Send a build or a video, and we send a proposal for your game. Ask for our rate card if you want to plan the budget first.
How much does it cost to hire a sound designer?
For a game, it depends on the number of effects and ambiences and whether we also compose the music. Making both together often saves rounds, because they fit from the start. Ask for our rate card.
How much should I budget for game audio?
Plan music, sound effects, and voice together, because they share the same space in the mix. Tell us what the game needs at launch and what can follow in updates, and we send a proposal you can plan around.
Where can I find a composer for my game?
Look for a composer whose music holds up through a long session, without an obvious loop. Our composers and producers write themes, music for each level, and the effects in one team. Send us a build or a video and we tell you how we would approach it.
How do I hire a video game sound designer?
Send a build, a video, or the design document, and tell us which moments matter most. We send a first theme and a few effects, so you hear the direction in the game before you commit to the full set.
What does a video game composer do?
A game composer writes music that works with the player: a main theme, music for each level, and music for the key moments. We compose it together with the sound effects, so the score and the effects never fight for the same space.
