Jason Graves is a game audio veteran with numerous AAA titles under his belt including Dead Space and Tomb Raider (2013)

He freely shares all his industry secrets like a total mensch. In this interview, we discuss:

• Why “breaking” into the industry takes a long time, and why that’s a good thing
• Advice for composers starting their career (just get into audio)
• Thoughts on gear, communication with clients, and landing gigs
• When should a composer invest in analog gear, if at all?
