All your specials have been fantastic.

I know that Total Annihilation had quite a few “firsts” for the RTS genre, including the full orchestra soundtrack, true 3D physics (as opposed to sprites), and music that adapted to what was going on on-screen. I’m wondering if you had any say in those revolutionary ideas? And if you did, how that process happened. Did CT just say “Make this happen!” and you found a way, or was it more of a collaboration?

I’m also curious as to how you recorded all of the unit sound effects, for when you clicked on them — were they synthesized, or were they modified existing beeps/whirrs/whatever?

thanks!

Enjoying your feature so far :) Just wondering if there were any stereo configurations you were particularly fond of using in your recording, and why? ie with two separate mics. M/S, X/Y etc? Or do you prefer using high quality stereo mics? Thanks :)

Amazing sounds Frank! I hope you’re reading this. Would you care to share your full gear? Some recording dos and donts too perhaps? :) And they sound so clean! How post-processed are these samples? Hope to hear from you. Thanks!
