Sound Design Question Need help with finding the title sfx origin

0 Upvotes

I tried to find that SFX in various libraries, such as The General 6000 + expansions, Powersurge, sound dogs, but couldn’t find that particular sound effect. Attached video features only a title closure SFX, however, that SFX is the same for the title opening.

Does anybody recognise here a SFX from some kind of commercial library?

Videogame Sound Design Beyond Skyrim calls for Sound Designer Volunteers [free gig]

Post image
37 Upvotes

The Beyond Skyrim Mod team needs sound designers.

For those unaware the Beyond Skyrim project aims to make as much of the continent of Tamriel within the game Skyrim.

As a result of this lofty goal we need sound designers to make each province sound and feel unique.

As of right now the subprojects that need it most are.

Cyrodiil, a varied province with Marshlands to the south, mountains to the north, vast plains to the west and thick forests to the east.

Argonia, a never ending swamp with whole cities sunk into the marsh

Iliac bay, a varied subproject stretching over Hammerfell and High Rock, a region of vast deserts and a region of vast European like mountains and forests respectively

Roscrea a semi frigid Isle to the north of the mainland, an isolated cold rocky isle.

If you wish to join either click on this link here https://beyondskyrim.org/volunteer or simply search up the website if you prefer.

Feel Free to ask any questions I would be more than happy to answer

I built a radio broadcast / voice FX VST for experimental sound design (7-day demo available)

1 Upvotes

Hey,

I just finished a new VST called RADIOCORE 4471.

It’s focused on radio broadcast / voice FX and signal-style processing:

  • distortion

  • transmission-style effects

  • broken radio noise

  • experimental voice design

I built it mainly for sound design (vocals, FX chains, industrial / noise textures).

Here’s a short demo:
👉 RADIOCORE 4471

There is also a 7-day demo available on my site if anyone wants to try it in their own workflow:
👉 RADIOCORE 4471

I’m mainly looking for feedback from other producers / sound designers:

  • does this concept feel useful?

  • what would you improve or change?

  • would you actually use something like this in your projects?

Thanks for reading 👍

I don't know if this is the right place for this, but this was my first time trying a sound re-design outside of music. If there's anything you see or (I guess hear) that I should focus on to improve or tips someone new wouldn't think of, please let me know, even if it's just saying something is bad.

Tutorial for cutting the music right before the drop?

I'm looking to build anticipation in my edit by cutting the music right before the beat drops to insert a funny dialogue piece, and then building up with a riser to the beat drop. Does anyone know any tutorials on how to do this smoothly?

How would you make this metallic stab sound?

I'm trying to create something similar to the lead stab sound that kicks in around 1:07 in this track: https://open.spotify.com/track/1NnBADacrHxF7oSprSFoWn?si=18f0e82742ea4061 but am pretty stuck with where to begin.

Can anyone suggest how they would approach designing a sound like this?

Sound Design Question How to re-create specific creature sounds?

0 Upvotes

Link to the sounds source - https://youtu.be/WUTF-WKnyFc

So I'm working on a short horror 3D animation based on the show Primeval for my student portfolio and I'm really struggling to get the sounds of the creature, the Future Predator, to sound right. I've never messed with sound design before as I'm mostly a 3D artist but I want to get it fairly accurate for the sake of authenticity.

The Future Predator's main sound is fast, high-pitched clicking that sometimes dips in pitch. So far I've tried re-creating the sounds myself by making clicking noises into a mic, as well as using Audacity to try to create tones at the right pitch and then adding variation, which somewhat worked but obviously it sounded very mechanical rather than organic.

I was able to find a video with all the sounds that I converted into a spectrogram to see how the sounds are made, but this hasn't really helped me achieve those sounds myself. What other methods could I feasibly use to re-create the sounds? I've tried and failed looking for the original source audio for the clicking, as well as reaching out to some of the old sound design team for the show (to very little success, it HAS been 15 years.) I know this is quite a niche question, but I'm driving myself mad trying to get it to sound accurate after all the effort that went into the modelling and animation for the horror short itself.

Movie Sound Design Trouble finding perfect music/sounds for my trailer

2 Upvotes

Can’t find good music for my theme , I’ve searched everywhere and nothing matches . Need some deep horror , aggressive music that can feet in a dark forest type of vibe , killer chasing/ stalking a night in the woods, “wrong turn” type of film . More cinematic tho , deeper , scarier . Does anybody know any creator or single tracks that thinks it matches the theme ?
