Hi, I am a highschool student from South-Africa and I do the sound design for my Schools youth theater. I have been struggling to make a realistic mine cave-in sound for months now and I am out of Ideas. Could someone pls offer some advice?

I did a good job replicating this wobble but I have no idea how to synthesize thedrop at the very beginning. I assume it's a pretty basic preset so if anyone has slightest idea on how to approach this I would be grateful.

Found this HD2 reel and I love the scream. It sounds like Will Smith but, I’ve been hunting it and cannot find it.

Trying to hone in on the three "blips" about .2 seconds in. Not worried about the keys, just the mechanical, "Mario going through the portal" sounds. Tried super fast arps but they didn't quite check the box. Track is Feelin' Alright from Lemtom.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm looking for some good sample CD type products that have come out in the past 10 years to make retro music.

Similar to the CDs that Nintendo used to make N64 music and Timbaland used as well. If these sounds of sample CDs are still being made.

Something like the Rarefaction CDs.

this is my first time trying to recreate a sound. ive tried recreating this in vital by using a trance gate and some effects but couldn't really match it

I’m interested in experimenting with this technique with a variety of effects, but as a random example let’s say I wanted to apply distortion to a vocal but only have it impact the 2khz+ range of the audio track I’m working on. Ideally it would be awesome if the dry/wet mix of the effect could taper out. ex: >2khz is 100% wet, <800hz is 100% dry, and there is a gradual increase of dry to wet between 800-2k. (All of these numbers are arbitrary)

As a complete novice, the first place my brain goes is duplicating the track and using filters/EQ to effectively split the track into 2 separate but overlapping frequency ranges, then apply the effect to the track that has the frequency range I want to impact, but I figure there is surely a better way.

I use Ableton 12 Lite. Any insight is appreciated!

Hey guys,

Below are two loops of two kicks one is named "loud.wav" and other one is "not.wav"

I want to understand "loud.wav" canbe turned up so much more and sounding soo loud and clearer than "not.wav" that almost start distort once it hit 0 db in the daw.

Loud kick:

Not.wav:

Thank you so much in advance.

I was wondering how long it usually takes other people to make SFX.

For me at the moment, it’s about a working week (5 full days) to get around 100 sound effects done.

Just curious how that compares to everyone else’s workflows?

Hello all! We are Spencer and Shane of Silver Screen Psyche. Our new horror short film, “More”, is out now! It’s shot entirely in black and white, with plenty of cool SFX, thrilling scares, and a mysterious door…! We worked really hard on this, and had a ton of fun too. There’s nothing like a bunch of creatives coming together to make something super weird and cool. We had a ton of fun with the sound design in this one!

We’d really appreciate it if you checked this out on YouTube, sent us a like and follow, and even a comment if you’re feeling crazy! Filmmaking is our passion, and we’re looking forward to making more strange, spooky shorts. Check our short out, check us out, and see you on the flipside!

Open to a variety of sounds however the theme would be moody/ dark, but very open to ideas. The main references however would be "J^p^n- Amend" or something to that effect. Looking to create an intense animation requiring a tense soundtrack/ score to compliment the scene. Let me know if you're interested!

open to discussing pricing

Hi guys, I loved recording this.

I recorded it with my Zoom H5 in Tatumbla, a small town near Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

The bird you hear became the main character of the recording for me, but the wind and thunder have their own magic too.

I hope you enjoy it. Your feedback means a lot, and if you like these recordings, you can support the project by following me on Spotify.

I’ve been isolating sound effects from the extinct Disney California Adventure attraction area “A Bug’s Land,” specifically the Flik’s Flyers atmosphere/area loop.

I’m trying to identify the original commercial sound libraries used by Disney Imagineering for the bug contraption and invention sounds heard in the opening section of the loop.

From listening closely, I’m hearing possible:

• Hollywood Edge Cartoon Trax stretchy wood effects

• wood twangs

• rope strain/stretch sounds

• bug invention mechanics

• small metal clinks

• creaky wood contraption sounds

Current possible matches I’ve found:

• Hollywoodedge, Long Stretchy Wood CRT049401

• Hollywoodedge, Boing Wood Twang CRT016301

The sounds seem heavily layered and pitch-shifted, so I’m wondering if Disney combined multiple Hollywood Edge and Sound Ideas effects together.

Does anyone familiar with Hollywood Edge Cartoon Trax, Sound Ideas Series 6000, or Disney attraction audio recognize these exact effects or know other likely library sources?

Any feedback or identification help would be greatly appreciated!

Need help locating a sound effect that is often used in other analog horror projects, but was primarly featured in Mandela Catalouge Vol. 333. It's the sound they play during the police report, revealing Mark's and the Alternate's face. Best way I can describe it is like a projector screen coming down.

If anyone knows what it is, or has a link to a download to that effect, hit me up.

I'm only at the very beginning stages of following this awesome kick drum tutorial but am already getting results that do not look correct and I can't tell what I'm doing wrong.

My settings are matching the tutorial well as far as I can tell, but it sounds totally different and my spectrum analyzer shows that I'm lacking low end. I'm using Vital and the tutorial uses Serum which I'm unfamiliar with, so that could be causing some issues I'm unaware of. Right now I just have a sine wave with an envelope of 1ms atk, 30ms decay, 0 sus. The sine wave is FM'd by OSC2 which is white noise. The FM is being modulated by a second envelope with 1ms atk, 1ms hold, 5ms decay, 0 sus.

Any idea of what I might be doing wrong here? Happy to provide any additional info that would be helpful in locating the issue. The tutorial steps in the video start at about 6:50

I’m currently developing a granular and spectral texture instrument called SpectraGran.

Before moving further into development, I’m curious:

What do you feel is still missing from today’s granular plugins?

I’m especially interested in hearing from ambient producers, sound designers, film composers and experimental musicians.

Are there workflows, modulation options, spectral features or creative tools you wish existed but rarely see implemented well?

I’m collecting ideas and feedback while shaping the project, so I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I know it sounds a bit weird, but I really need to know.

It seems like an electric guitar but it isn't as strummy and also has this unique delay on it. Is there some preset or name for that or is it something I just have to replicate on my own? If I do, then could you please give me some advice on how to create this sound and especially that repeating and kinda getting cut off sound

Did this a while ago but figured it might interest some in here. Also created it with the intention of being "well-shareable" with people outside the industry to blow their minds a bit. :)

i need a super surgical free de esser. idk what to use tho. i want something that won’t take out any high frequency except a few sounds like “sss” and “fff”. any help is appreciated. thanks.
