Path of Exile Audio Team Q&A

Want to know more about what goes into the music and sound effects of Path of Exile or how they're made? Our sound designers are keen to answer your questions, so we'll collect them from today's news post and present the answers sometime in the next few weeks!

The intention of this Q&A is to give you an insight of the inner workings of the Audio Team, so if you have any specific questions like "How did you make the Gratuitous Violence blood pops sound so satisfying?", then now's your chance! We may not be able to go through every question with them, but we'll try to get as many of your questions answered as possible!

We look forward to your questions!
