New Ambience: Testing Chamber
I don’t play video games much. What with kids, this site, other adult type duties there just isn’t the time. Which sucks. But my kids play (when I'm not making them practice their music ;p) and for some reason last month I decided to check out Portal 2. Yeah, I’m late to the party, I know!...
Small update to Custom SoundPad
A small addition to the latest sort update: Now, when sort is turned on, you'll see a small red 'x' next to each sound in your SoundPad which will allow you to delete the sound without having to find it in the master sound list.Make sure you clear your cache or refresh the page or the sm...
New Custom SoundPad Feature: Sorting
A few of you have been requesting the ability to rearrange the order of sounds in Custom SoundPads after they've been added. I spent the last few days working on a way that made sense and worked on mobile devices as well.There is now a Sort button at the top of the page - sorting is off by defau...
Custom SoundPad updated

New SoundPad: Future City
I’ve had lots of requests for a cyberpunk SoundPad so I finally started working onFuture Cityabout 3 weeks ago. As is often the case, I discovered that the visual representation of a genre comes much more easily than the audio.To researchthis one I went back to the sources. I watched a bunch of fi...
New Ambience: "Vampire's Castle"
Since this is now the 3rd annual Tabletop Audio Halloween ambience, I'm officially declaring it a tradition.Vampire's Castle is a perfect backdrop for many horror themed RPGs and boardgames. Players of Curse of Strahd and Ravenloft will find lots to enjoy here. The master is lurking about on...
The 100th (and 101st) Ambiences
The truth is, I've seen this day coming for quite a while. Some of you have too. In fact, I've been getting a lot of questions onTwitterandFacebookasking me what kind of special to-do I was going to make when my 100th 10 minute ambience was released. I slowly started to dawn on my that I was...
New Ambience: Cavern of Lost Souls
Greetings Patrons!I have returned from family vacation and the kids are back in school! I've been itching to get back into audio-land for a couple of weeks now . I decided to go back to The List for this one and fulfill a request from a year ago (it's a long list). So here is Cavern of Lost ...
Quick update and vacation plus, 1 million?
Greetings patrons! Hope your summer is finishing up nicely. Brooklyn has been beset by the muggiest weather imaginable, I hope wherever you live is cooler than here! I wanted to give you all a brief update on goings on here at Tabletop Audio HQ:Firstly, I'm headed off to the beach in North Carol...
New Musical Track: Lost Mine
Greetings patrons!I've uploaded a new track called "Lost Mine" which is a musical, but contains sound design elements as well to create that 'ripped-from-a-film' style that I think works really well in many games.I definitely had D&D on my mind as I was making it but after I fini...

Quick Update: Wasteland added to Custom SoundPad
Greetings Patrons,Just a quick update to let you know that all the sounds from last week's SoundPad, Wasteland have been added andare now available as a menu item in the Custom SoundPad. You can now mix and match almost 300 SoundPad sounds (I just counted).Thank you for your continued support,be...
New SoundPad: Wasteland
Greetings Patrons,I've been kicking around ideas for a Post Apocalyptic SoundPad since I first started making them. I even attempted one but it never really worked for me. It's funny, the whole premise of a Post Apocalyptic environment is that it's empty, void. A shadow of a civilization...
2016 ENnie Nomination for 'Best Software'
Dear Patrons,It's that time of year again. The 2016 Gen Con EN World ENnie award nominees have been announced and I'm thrilled to have been nominated for the 3rd year in a row.Tabletop Audio has been nominated in the 'Best Software' category, and no, I don't choose which category...
New Ambience: City Under Siege
I was going over 'The List' last week (my complete list of all requests) and found one from over a year ago, titled: City Under Siege. I think part of why I chose this was that I was excited to finally dig through dozens of NYC field recordings that I made over the last year and to coax them...

New Ambience: Windswept Plains
I was a little desperate to get back into audio world after all the coding I've been doing lately, so I went back through the requests. I had a few people request a high-desert, windswept plains type backdrop for a variety of different games. So I decided to make Windswept Plains. A utility ambi...
First Look: Custom SoundPads
I'm finally putting this out there for you, my Patrons. I'd like to ask that you keep this to yourselves and your immediate group of friends and players (it's on the live site, but not linked from any of the menus yet). Which means, if at all possible, not to post this on social media un...
Super Early Proof of Concept - Custom SoundPads
(Hopefully the attached image is animating properly)I actually spent a whole bunch of time yammering over a video that lasted 5 minutes and realized that a 40 second gif gave a better indication of what I've been busy with.This is very early days. Lots of stuff doesn't work right and I have ...

Quick Update!
Greetings patrons, I wanted to give everyone a quick update on the machinations and goings on at Tabletop Audio!Occasionally I'll appear to have gone dark. But fear not! This darkness is but toil that has not yet born fruit! Or, in plainer English, I'm working on stuff that isn't ready y...
New Musical Track: "Arabesque"
In the past couple of months I've had several requests for Arabian styled musical/ambient tracks. Enough in fact that I actually googled: "new Arabian themed RPG" to see if I'd been missing something. Alas, nothing came up. But, it seemed like an interesting challenge. So, rather tha...
New Ambience: Noir Procedural
A detective pulls back the sheet from abody lying in the street. A criminal rummages in a desk and pulls out anincriminating letter. A woman puts on lipstick in her rear-view mirror, glancing at the gun on the seat beside her.We love our Television. We like our stories dark, malevolent and salacious...

New Ambience: "Starship Medical"
I realized last week that I was itching to do a sci-fi ambience for some reason. Then I looked over what I'd produced recently and figured out why. It's been a while! I decided to do this track, Starship Medical, because I'm always drawn to the iconic locations. We play games in space, w...
New SoundPad: House on the Hill
I've always found that the scariest thing about horror movies is the horror you bring with you. This explains why twin girls in matching party dresses are more terrifying than a multi-fanged werebeast, and why a well-timed telephone ring can send shivers up your spine as easily as a blood curdli...
New Ambience: Skirmish
Everybody's got a different idea about battle music. On any given day, I have different ideas about battle music. I went in to this piece thinking less about theme and harmony and more about momentum. It had to push, then let up, and then push some more in a different way. Fight sounds were adde...

New SoundPad Feature: Broadcast
I get lots of feature requestsforTabletop Audio. Small things, big things, even the occasional weird thing. As you probably know I add every idea I get to an ever growing list. One thingI never get, however, is a feature request followed by a fully working solution. Well, that was true until three w...
New Ambience: Elven Glade
After a two week plus stretch of SoundPad development I love getting back into the 10 minute designed-sound format. The serenity of this one may give you some sense of the struggle that was the Age of Sail SoundPad. Man those things are like jigsaw puzzles that are all sky pieces.Not all fantasy loc...
