The Audio Department of Raven Software is responsible for everything that can be heard in a game: every explosion, every gunshot and every spoken word. Armed with the best in audio tools, Sound Designers use their creativity and technical skills to construct a wide range of sound effects that enhance the gameplay experience – and they have their work cut out for them considering the thousands of sounds needed for a game. They also compose music or coordinate the employment of offsite composers to provide the soundtracks that set the tone of each game. Additionally, they work closely with writers to generate professional voice over featuring some of the best actors in Hollywood. To aid in their work, a brand new sound studio was added to Raven for the generation of Foley and voice over assets.
