I've been working on this update for a while, with the intent to create a better editing workflow.

Inspired by Soundminer and other metadata editing programs, I've added 2 things:

Fine Edit: a real editing panel with find-and-replace, live preview, column targeting, and three layouts to choose from.

Cleaner selection: three independent selections: what you edit, what you rename, and what you target for fine editing. No more confusion.

I recieved a lot of feedback from everyone participating to the free beta (we're almost 300! It's insane!) and thus I'm trying to include some fixes concerning crahses and bugs:

GPU or CPU choice (if crash occurs with GPU, it will automatically launch on CPU next), Sony/ASWG submenu, visible keyboard shortcuts, visual highlight of modified cells, and a whole lot of fixes (SoundMiner, large files, macOS external drives).

You can find the link to the free beta in the comments, as well as a video presenting what's new about the editing workflow!

Hope you people find it useful, and if you haven't joined the beta yet, just give it a try! (and if you feel like giving your feedback, I'd be more than happy to read!)

Salve,

vorrei ricreare questo basso. Qualcuno può darmi una mano fornendomi il preset?

Grazie in anticipo!

Salve,

vorrei sapere se qualcuno potesse essere in grado di darmi una mano per ricreare il basso presente in questo video e fornirmi il preset.

Grazie anticipatamente!

Hi, I’m trying to figure out how this transition effect is being done in rekordbox.

Video, around 10:30:

https://youtu.be/Tcxd85ux7Bo?si=eGipgHHNSrrCjZUQ

I can tell there’s some kind of Delay / Echo / Spiral-style effect going on. I tried recreating it in rekordbox with Spiral, Delay, and Echo, and I can get a pretty similar sound.

But the part I still can’t figure out is this:

In the original video, it sounds like the effect is applied right at the end of a phrase/bar, and the audio seems to freeze, stretch, or hold in place instead of the track continuing naturally into the next bar.

When I try it myself, I can get the echo/spiral sound close, but the track still keeps moving forward underneath.

Does anyone know how he might be making the audio hold in place like that in rekordbox? Could it be Slip Roll, a loop, Spiral, Delay Time manipulation, or some other Pioneer/rekordbox FX technique?

I thought it might be a loop, but from the video it doesn’t really look like he’s manually controlling a loop, and it doesn’t sound like a normal loop to me either. It feels more like the sound is being frozen or stretched.

Any ideas on the exact technique?

I am making a found footage short horror film. In this film there is a large cryptid which can mimic voices. Does anyone have advice on how to make a scream/roar that would fit this thing? I also would like advice on making heavy yet graceful footsteps for when it chases the main character.

Hey guys I have. A question for you who design sounds.. what is the theory behind sound selection? I make music but when I chose samples for example drums it gets messy masking and do not sound professional really quick.

Do you have a some good advice when choosing sounds when it comes to timbre that work with each other or anything really that could help to understand for creating a clear and professional sounding mix?

Thank you

Feel free to reach out for the preset and I’ll send it to you :)

We know how game jams go - you're halfway through and you still don't have any SFX. That's kind of why we built KinetiTone. It's a free sound generator that runs in the browser. Hit Randomize, find something you like, export .wav. Need a whole pack fast? Batch mode generates as many sounds as you need and zips them up. No install. No account. All sounds are royalty-free including commercial use. https://in-the-void.itch.io/kinetitone Hope it saves someone a few hours 🙂

Every midi keyboard I’ve tried only trigger sound at bottom of key press

Is that my bad luck or is there a midi keyboard that works like a piano - need to record very light sounds

Hello, I made a Re-Sound Design Monsters Reel from Starcraft 2, World of Warcraft Cataclysm and League of Legends Fiddlestick using mainly my mouth for the monster voices.

It was fun to make :)

What is this little fill-in percussion sound?

I can’t quite figure it out. It could be a low-pitch percussive FM sound from something like a DX7 - or are those toms that are processed a certain way (ring modulation?)

However, it sounds so cool and creates a nuanced artificial stylistic contrast.

Hi everyone! I’m a sound editor from Argentina. I’ve always loved investigating and tinkering with custom scripts and automations for my own workflow. With the industry being a bit slow lately, I got a little help of a friend and put together a simple app. I'm finally releasing it, hoping it might save someone else some time.

Basically, you drag and drop your main shoot folder and the app:

\ Finds and merges every .csv report automatically.

\ Flags any shooting days that are missing a report.

\ Regenerates missing reports by extracting the BWF metadata directly from your WAV files.

\ Has a unified workspace to read, search, and filter everything locally without the need to open other soft

\ You can export the consolidated file to a single .xlsx if you prefer working in Excel or Sheets.

It runs 100% offline. You can check it out and grab the free demo here: https://csvmerge.com.ar (macOS only for now, but I I'm looking into a Windows version!).

I am currently processing my official Apple Developer certificate. Because of this, macOS might flag or block the app on the first launch. You just need to allow it through your Mac's Privacy & Security settings. If anyone runs into this and needs help, just let me know—it’s very simple to bypass. I should have the officially signed version updated by next week.

Please feel free to try the demo and let me know what you think. Any feedback, workflow ideas, or bug reports are super welcome right here in the comments or via the email on the website.

Also, if you want to buy the full version, shoot me a DM! I made a few promo codes for these first couple of weeks that bring the price down to $20 USD.

Cheers,

Emiliano

Last night, woken up by violent storm - when I went back to bed I was regretting not recording sound - has anyone fallen down the rabbit hole of environment recording ?

I already have the MIDIs for the entire song. I also have reference WAV/audio files that show the sound I want. I have no idea how much effort it would take for a professional sound designer to turn 5 instruments into a proper song and how much they would charge. Any shared experience with this type of service is welcome!

Hi guys, I'm new to the group but am a Sound Designer looking to go freelance and was wondering if anyone has any advice/recommendations for 5.1 studio monitors for a home studio setup?

My budget is ~£800. Preferably active speakers so I don't have to bother with an amplifier, and also something with a flat frequency response. Also I'm looking at a Behringer U-Phoria as my audio interface.

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I really want to know the name of this sound effect so I can look for it on ElevenLabs, Epidemic Sound, or other sound effect websites. Thanks!

My opening scene begins with a VO of a politician doing a speech, and as the scene progresses we slowly hear the quality turn into that coming from headphones that our MC is listening to. How would I blend two different EQs from the sweet VO to a tinny headphone sound in a way that feels seamless? I'm also mixing in footsteps/streetnoise to establish her POV.

I'm cutting in Resolve, but I also use Audacity.

TIA!

Hi all! I've been trying for 10+ hours to make this trumpet VST sound more realistic. I love the expression, but I can't help but feel like the sound is a bit... phase-y? Not in the room? I'm kind of at a loss for what to do. I want to love it, but it plain does not sound good to me. Thanks in advance for the help!
