This time around we drive down to the DigiPen Audio Symposium and record in the car on the way there and back. And between that we talk with Daniel Raimo about the differences between AAA and indie game audio. Mixed in there we talk about what we heard at the symposium, some games we've been playing, some new plugins we've bought and a few sound design tips.
