Brian Min is an American composer, sound designer and game developer, who worked at Sierra Entertainment, Kronos Digital Entertainment, The 3DO Company and Double Fine.

He has been in the game industry since 1995. He joined Weddington Productions (now Technicolor) where he has worked side by side with Oscar-winning Sound Designers and Supervising Sound Editors, Mark Mangini and Richard Anderson.

He used his experience and knowledge in the game industry and the movie industry to create the Game Audio Division and served as the Executive Director, at both Technicolor Weddington and at Soundstorm Inc., another Oscar-winning post production company. He was able to bring the "hollywood" sound into games. He has also served as a technical consultant and supervising sound editor at Soundelux DMG, completing projects for Microsoft and Miramax.

Audio Development

N64

At 3DO, Min used Software Creations' N64 Sound Tools. While BatlleTanx: Global Assault used original sound driver by Software Creations, Army Men games used modified variations of same sound driver.

On Dark Rift, original music recordings were converted as RAW data.
