What was once an optional luxury is now a requirement as we move into the next generation of game development. With the enormous and ever-increasing scope of game development, its often no longer practical or justifiable to create unique sounds to cover every possible combination of material, environment, event, and game state. Real-time digital signal processing can help bring much of this formerly offline processing into the game itself, allowing sounds to respond in real-time to physics, environmental conditions, and geometry. This talk provides an overview for creating and implementing high-performance, low processing real-time DSP effects.
