Stockholm, Sweden - March 14, 2022 - Audio technology company Elias Software is releasing Elias 4, a full game audio solution that features a revolutionary and intuitive modern workflow with music and audio professionals in mind. Elias’ live-editing and visual scripting means designers can stay in the zone and create.
Previous versions of the Elias audio engine have been used in award-winning games such as A Way Out as well as Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden and Rage 2. Built on the experience of earlier versions, Elias 4 brings more control to the music and audio teams in the creative and implementation process as opposed to relying on programmers and time-consuming technology.
“For way too long, sound designers have been overlooked when it comes to workflow. They have had to rely not only on programmers but on time-consuming and inspiration-killing technology. With Elias 4, we’re starting an era where we give the control back into the hands of creators. The experts.” Kristofer Eng, CEO and Co-founder said.
Here is a video showing the new software
According to Valheim Composer Patrik Jarlestam, the new audio engine is welcomed news for those creating video games today.
“Having worked with Elias on several projects and knowing how easy it is to organise my musical thoughts with the software, I'm really looking forward to how nice it will be to have Elias 4 handle sound effects in an intuitive way as well,” Jarlestam said.
Elias 4 will officially launch to the public on March 23 at GDC. If you would like to meet the team behind Elias 4 during the event, you can find the expo booth S1235 located next to the Game Audio Community Space.
