Description
Sounds can be structured in layers according to its semantics and communicative purpose. The layers are: Ambiance, Foley, Sound Effects, Dialogue, and Music [1][2].
Addressing sound design decisions according to such grouping may be useful when establishing high-level exploration goals and/or when wrapping the lower-lever explorations according to the semantics of the sounds that will be needed to implement them.
In consonance with the mindset and the guidelines that are on the basis of this approach, the explorations of Sound Design in Games benefit from considering all the layers in a holistic manner that may allow to produce an Acoustic Ecology rather than a superimposition of sounds.
It is also worth mentioning that the exploration of each of the sound levels does not imply, by no means, that sounds representing that level ought to be included in the design. The exploration can consist precisely in not including sounds of a particular level (e.g., no Dialogue and no Music).
