Should You Learn FMOD or Wwise? | Game Audio FAQs

[johnmellor]

Every job advert I've seen they ask for Wwise or FMOD. Some want you to have at least a basic understanding of game engines, but not all. They tend to have a preference for Reaper over Pro Tools too. At least thats what I've found. I've only seen one job where knowing middleware was desirable but not essential.

Hi Akash, i´m interested on knowing which type of computer should i have in order to work professionally in audio integration for videogames? do i need a powerful computer if i work for videogame companies that develop complex games? like EA, Epic games, Activision, etc. Thank You very much.

So if I want to get a job in game industry I need to know how to work with Wwise AND Fmod both. I can't just learn how to work in Wwise and be happy?😁 I also need to work in Fmod? I thought they are (Fmod and Wwise) for the same purposes like all DAWs. Same purposes just different interface or something like that?
