About
Hi, I’m Matt Gabnai, an audio director and lead/senior audio designer passionate about creating top-quality videogame and cinematic productions. With years of experience in sound design, music composition (I finished as an orchestra conductor in my formal school in Budapest), and audio integration, I love helping teams achieve their best work using a rare set of competences that span multiple tools and platforms.
I specialize in immersive audio experiences, vehicle and environmental sound design, and AI audio training. I’m fluent in English, French and Hungarian, and thrive in collaborative, creative environments where quality matters most.
