An alternative you may be interested in, for generating music, is a small application called Bitnotic Chill. I used it for one of my own games.

Also, there's a Mac port of SFXR – it's called CFXR.

You can read about both CFXR and Bitnotic Chill on a post I wrote on my blog last year – http://www.bytesizeadventures.com/blog/on-sound...

We just really like sound

Also, “Face Race” is a hit with my Grade 10s, I haven't talked to you since the Christmas party, but they dig it

I guess I need to put more emphasis on the “placeholder/temporary”
nature of using tools like this for sound and music. I definitely
recommend getting a professional sound person, and working that into
your budget from the start. You'll be happy you did.

Cool article! To be fair, I hope that audio doesn't get compromised because it's SUCH a key part of the game. Also, NDB loves audio and, I gotta say, we're pretty good at it Some people are better with audio than others, but a pro studio is always on and it will always sound great!
