Underwater sound recording for Subnautica - Subnautica
Subnautica presents some interesting challenges for audio, a big one is finding a way to record high quality audio underwater. this requires some specialized gear. the old school way of doing this is to put your expensive mic in a condom, hope it’s water tight and dunk it underwater ( 100% seems like a bad idea to me). So I got a dedicated hydrophone: In this video I’m also using a GoPro to capture sounds on actual scuba dives and to document the recording process. Unfortunately the GoPro’s audio quality is too poor for sound design but the videos it makes and the dives themselves give me a great auditory and experiential reference i can call on for creating the soundscape …

A friend of mine put it this way: A game's setting is just a good excuse to present awesome stuff to the player. Graphics, audio, story, etc.
I guess, the challenge is to create audio for Subnautica that is both awesome and underwatery.
sound is probably more important than graphics
but yeh im not going for realism with subnautica sound we arnt making a simulator. im going for somthing like avatar/ star wars but underwater.
