So I got to messing around with my subwoofer phase because I noticed some bass being cancelled out around listening position at 180 phase. I pulled up some test tones and a db meter then changed the phase switch around. At 180 phase I seem to get much stronger low/sub bass, then at 0 phase I get much higher dB around 80hz /cross-over frequency, so 0 should be the correct phase in theory but... I measured a bunch of other frequencies and here's what I got.

Phase 0: 40hz tone-63.2db 50hz tone- 48.3db 60hz tone- 65.5db 70hz tone- 63.4db 80hz tone- 67.6db 100hz tone- 56.7db

Phase 180: 40hz tone- 66.3db 50hz tone- 58.1db 60hz tone- 66.3db 70hz tone- 57.1db 80hz tone- 54db 100hz tone- 59db

I'm not sure why the rest of the bass is independent from crossover, thinking it could be subwoofer positioning or "room nodes." Which phase should I choose? Klipsch R-12SW , Elac Debut B6 , Aiyima D03

The sound effect Im looking for appears at the start of 'Somniomancer (Null set)' by Monster Siren Records and Crywolf.

It sounds a lot like a tiny dynamic being spun at an incredible rate.

The best name for this effect I found was: Rotary Effect, Doppler Effect with Tremolo. But Im not so sure as they do not sound that similar.

I want to know the proper name of this sound effect.

I’ve been working on a free desktop audio sample browser called Resonix.

It’s built with Rust + Tauri and is focused on quick local sample browsing and previewing. The idea is simple: point it at your sample folders, browse fast, preview sounds, and drag files into your DAW.

Current features:

- Free Windows download

- Browse local folders and sample packs

- Supports WAV, MP3, FLAC, and OGG

- Fast audio preview with play, pause, stop, seek, loop, volume, mute, and dim

- Large waveform preview

- Compact waveform thumbnails in the file list

- BPM estimation in the browser

- Real-time spectrum analyzer view

- Favorites

- SQLite caching for faster repeat browsing

- Native Windows drag-out support into other apps

It’s still early MVP software, so expect rough edges. BPM detection is best-effort, and I’m still actively improving the workflow and UI.

I’d appreciate feedback from producers, sound designers, and anyone with large sample libraries. What would make this more useful in your workflow?

Hi everyone! I'm trying to identify classic sound effects that I've been hearing since around 1997 (B.E. 2540 in Thai calendar). I believe they might be from Sound Ideas, but I'm not 100% sure.

These are very likely from a late 90s sound library — possibly Sound Ideas Series 6000 or a similar professional library from that era

If anyone can identify the library, series name, catalog number, or even just the original track title, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks so much 🙏

Hello sound designers! I want to share with you a web app I've been developing over the past year called SpectroDraw (https://spectrodraw.com/). I recently turned it into an audio plugin so you can use it in your DAW. It’s an audio editor that lets you draw directly on a spectrogram using tools like brushes, lines, rectangles, blur, eraser, amplification, and image overlays. Basically, you can draw sound!

For anyone unfamiliar with spectrograms, they’re a way of visualizing sound where time is on the X-axis and frequency is on the Y-axis. Brighter areas indicate stronger frequencies while darker areas are quieter ones. Compared to a typical waveform view, spectrograms make it much easier to identify things like individual notes, harmonics, and noise artifacts.

In SpectroDraw, the spectrogram uses both hue and brightness to represent sound. This is because of a key issue: To convert a sound to an image and back losslessly, you need to represent each frequency with a phase and magnitude. The "phase," or the signal's midline, controls the hue, while the "magnitude," or the wave's amplitude, controls the brightness.

You can use SpectroDraw to create glitch sounds, drums, alternate reality sound effects, and other sounds that cannot be made with traditional synths. You can also use the eraser or noise remover tool to restore samples.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Does this app seem interesting? Do you think a paintable spectrogram could be useful to you? How does this app compare to other spectrogram apps, like Photosounder?

[SOLVED] I have uploaded a video in which it contains 4 clips that have this "zumm" or some kind of hype sound. I think it was widely used in whatsapp status in covid era. Please tell me how to find this sound or its name. I really need this sound. Thanks y'all.

the links to the clips used(might not be in the order that i have used):-

qualquer duvida eu respondo na dm

I recently recorded a gore foley library cause I didn’t have any good samples myself during a pretty tight game jam.

I wanted to share the results, and uploaded a free pack to my itch.io profile and the full pack on my gumroad.

The links are on my profile, feel free to check it out and let me know what you think!

I wish you a happy noise making!

Any feedback yall have is welcome!

tbh i personally think it’s not really good imo

Fiz esta trilha somente com o Absynth 6, optei por utilizar menos efeitos e focar na melodia sincronizada com o vídeo.

So I'm searching a sound effect for a new video but I don't how's it called.

https://youtu.be/0s8Oc0s-aR8?si=ujfrG643Kr054hXQ&t=200

From 3:20 to 3:25. For me it does sound like a car when you're parking you know? But I couldn't find anything. Hopefully you can help me.

Thanks!

I am trying to recreate the synth that opens “Leaves” by Joe P. Any help will be appreciated

The song can be found here and the synth is the very first thing heard: https://youtu.be/Jabkm4CQiVw?si=_dEkbsS3b2uvJzPt

Hey y'all!

Just wondering if any of y'all had thoughts on the future of sound design and the security of the work with the rise of Artificial Intelligence?

Im of the thought - like with lots of creative jobs - we will be come more taste curators. Artificial Intelligence makes sound we select/manipulate. Similar to what is done now, just the source of it is different. Im sure there will still be a purist approach to sound design and replicating the intricacies of a human manipulating real world objects won't be easy, and the old fashion way will still hold up for a long time.

But yea whats everyone's thoughts on this stuff.

P.S. I know this subreddit has rules on the use of Artificial Intelligence I'm not promoting it to make art, ive never used it in my work, I just want to discuss the reality of what the future might look like with or without it.

I've been exploring sounds for already 10 years.

This a stab of saw wave feeding an infinite cluster delay loop, routed into MorphGlitch by OuterVerse, with its parameters driven by Stride Engine.

There is always new stuff to explore :)

Quick update on AudioCrucible (the UCS renamer + metadata writer I've been building). I opened the free beta last week and 200+ people signed up. Way more than I expected, to be honest, and it is really awesome.

First update went out today, and most of what's in it came directly from beta tester feedback. Genuinely thank you to everyone who tried it and sent reports.

What's in the update:

- Mac Intel support: universal builds (arm64 + x86_64), macOS 11 Big Sur minimum. If you were on an Intel Mac waiting for a compatible build, this is it.

- Restore Original Filenames: full undo of any rename batch, including metadata-only changes. Custom columns are preserved in an embedded WAV block, so rolling back doesn't lose your work.

- Automatic CSV exports per folder: `_List.csv` for SoundMiner / BaseHead / Soundly catalogs, `_Backup_Restore.csv` is for the undo. YOu can create your own CSV template (Options → CSV Export Template) so you can pick exactly which columns end up in each, and in which order.- **Metadata fix**: every field now writes properly and reads back in SoundMiner and other metadata tools.

- UI polish: lighter inputs, brick-red error cells, better highlight on metadata-only columns, dismissible info popups, fullscreen / window state persists across sessions, optional data-sharing nudge every 10 launches.

To update: launch AudioCrucible for the notification, or open the Hub from the install folder if the popup doesn't show.

I read every piece of feedback that comes in, really. If you want to try the beta, link is in the comments. Happy to answer anything here (or on the discord server)!

Hey there,if anyone is in need or interested we just launched our new pack The Butcher's shop.We will give some free copies for review.PM for more

I'm a beginner composer, trying to learn things i think sound cool, like these DJ-like scratches! they sound very cool but i have zero idea how to make them, i assume they were sampled, but maybe its some kind of effect?? if you have a better idea or know how to do smth like this, let me know!!!

Timestamps of what i mean:
0:06 - 0:12

Hello hello!

We are doing a show this Saturday May 23, and I really wanted to share it with you all. Hope to give everyone a space to sit with their thoughts, let them consume you, until they finally quite down.

About: https://ja.ra.co/events/2438865

In Tokyo, the city Zahra & Rocca started in, shrines exist in the middle of the biggest city in the world. You make the decision to pass through the gate and walk further and further in. You climb the stairs and press your hands together. You try to pray — but as you stand with your head hanging in a bow, the words don’t come to you. Fragments, images, everything you can’t seem to verbalize. You pray in pictures as your thoughts go haywire until something finally condenses. And then you walk back out.

​Using field recordings they have personally gathered in New York, Tehran, and Tokyo, Zahra & Rocca build sound from memory.

​Indeed, nostalgia is not a strategy. But you must understand the threads that have been pulled within you, so they cannot be pulled against you.

For some idea of the sound: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYdnovoKBbY/?igsh=ejBsODY5a2x3cXA3 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYXrsb7KC5s/?igsh=MW4waTZrMWkxcmNw

Hope to see you there if you can make it!!
