Having Any Media Player Issues?

  >>> If you want to use the fullscreen function, please access it by right clicking, (not through the options menu - There is issues in Chrome, and Internet Explorer), and the explorer window can be stretched to see the full names.

  >>> It's come to my attention recently, that the media player sometimes has long load times on slower connections. If you are waiting very long without hearing any audio, you may have to reset the player through the options button.

  >>> If the Files aren't loading at all, you may need to Update Your Flash Player. Internet Explorer Users will have to enable blocked content to view the Media Player. Or sometimes it tries to buffer an entire movie, if this is the issue, just reclick the movie after 5 seconds.- I apologize for any Inconvienience

A Little bit of my History

>>> - Spending much of my life dedicated to music, sound, and games, the passion to spend my life working on game audio was an easy decision.

>>> After being introduced to Cakewalk's Sonar the passion became an obsession. Aside from spending my free time twindling away in my first DAW, I also spent a great deal of time, learning recording basics, creating sound, and music for games that were mearly in my mind, and studying music styles and theory in school. Not just that of my favorites, but all forms of music, finding the good in everything, and taking as much from it as I could.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>> - After graduating from Highschool, I had realized there was little money for me to pay for college, and made a strong decision. I couldn't bring myself to have massive loans, or rely on my family for funding, so I signed my life away for 4 years of the US Navy.

>>> - It was horrible in every way, however being in that situation guided me to have a strong work ethic, and also so much more grateful for all the little things I have.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>> - Four long years later, I left the navy as a 4 year veteran, and headed off for education. My strong work ethic, and desire to make up for lost time drew me to a 2 technical school Full Sail University, where I learned the large scale tech, behind the craft.

>>> - It was there that I learned modern mixing/recording techniques, worked on massive consoles pro tools expensive microphones, and basically absorbed everything I could. Full Sail also introduced me to many big named sound designers that I have never fully appreciated before. I had never listened to sounds as intently ever before, and for some reason can never watch a movie, or play a game again without accidentally critiquing it.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>> - Since October 2007, I have successfully worked on over 30 games, and 1 film, all while attending school.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

What I am doing now.

 

>>> - Right now I am still pursuing my education, and actively offering audio services to the XNA, iPhone, and WiiWare gaming communites, and working towards employment at a major game development company.

>>> - I still enjoy gaming as much as ever, and I always schedule time to sit down, and play games, and to never lose that spark.

 

Some of my influences include:

Ben Burtt, Gary Rydstrom, Nubuo Uematsu, John Williams, Starcraft, Diablo, Early Final Fantasy Games, Spiro 1+2, Star Wars, The Newest Star Trek Movie, Danny Elfman, The Sims, Age Of Mythology, Half the Games made for Nintendo, Playing in Band in Highschool, Vocal Jazz, Door Stops that go "Twang", Many of the remixs at OCremix.org, Swaping out old sound effects in Old PC Games, My Mentors In the Full Sail Game Audio Department Chris, and Casey, And Finding cool Sounds on Accident.
