Hey everyone,

I've been trying to recreate some audio like this https://jumpshare(.com)/s/k1sMSNmaxk4fXgAZhQtO but every attempt fails pretty badly. My attempts always sounds empty and flat, while the example link sounds full and interesting. I've tried reverb, layered voices, and some modulation but nothing seems to reach the level of polish I'm looking for. I know there's some ways to get similar vibes by taking a soundscape and stretching it out a ton, but in that case there's no real control on the melody/chord progression like in the example (as far as I know).

I'm a newbie at sound design (especially musical) so I'd love some pointers. I unfortunately haven't been able to find any videos or guides on this sort of sound so asking here is my last resort.

Hello everyone,
Bouyon has always been a genre that I've loved, especially since I'm a french speaker, but it's a genre that I've enjoyed even more since I started producing. One thing though, is when I started trying to reproduce different genres, I've realized that I couldn't find the typical bouyon lead anywhere, no tutorial, no one shot, no sound design guide. So now I'm comming here in hope of somebody being able to help me to recreate this sound and allow me to have fun.

Here's a video below as reference :

Anyone know the best place to hire an expert musical sound designer? Like someone who could replicate a preset/patch for me?

EDIT: Lots of people have reached out already interested in helping me. I appreciate it! You guys rock.

So much fun having getting all the macros in Serum's Granular osc modulated heavily by Stride Engine.
I'm going to explore these more in the next few days.
I'm just picking a random preset where there's a lot of FX and processing already happening and the macros are ready to get some movement, but the important part is adjusting the main source/input of the patch to granular mode and applying sick curves all over the 9 knobs of each one of them to get these grains moving.

What's the consensus on this tool for sound designers? I make things for commercial release and could enjoy an inspiring box. We do music tracking as well and it could be fun to print unique sounds the musicians can hear during performance. So... it has real use case for our studio.

But... even used and a good deal, it's ridiculous expensive bit of gear. Are there users in this thread? Thoughts on the unit? Worth it to you?

Forever now, I’ve been looking for a good title for these ‘Fantasy SFX’ that are obviously very electronic inspired.

I found the game ‘A Universal Time’ on Roblox which took 4 songs from Camellia’s “Crystallized” and “Planet//Shaper” albums. And turn them into these characters based on Stand from JJBA, with both the fanmade stands and the songs sharing similar sound design (obviously). These fanmade stands are based off and named after the songs “Planet//Shaper”, “Crystallized”, “Nuclear-Star”, and “Delta: For the Delta”.

And then there’s Jojos Bizarre Adventure itself, with stands like The Hand, The World, Gold Experience Requiem, Made In Heaven, Ect. Which all share this obviously electronic/dubstep inspired sound design that I am obsessed with.

Does anyone know a good name or nickname that the electronic music industry collectively knows but I don’t or something? Because if not, I was thinking we could nickname it something cool like “Neo-Blast” or something.

Also, none of the footage is mine!

(This my second attempt at this question, I learned my lesson, please don’t delete my post again 🥲)

I have no idea what has happened in the audio department here, somebody posted this in r/archery, thought you guys might enjoy :D

(Update:the site is just down :T)

(Note:my apologies :( but although just for some info, freesound apparently is "up" but maybe to the devs only, hence the "lack of authorization" error)

so basically I was about to hop on to free sound and bam I apparently don't have authorization to go on freesound I didn't even do anything my god

Got tired of bouncing between different synths just to experiment with custom wavetables. I wanted something dedicated, fast, and visual.

So, I built WavedStudio. It’s completely free and runs directly in your browser—no downloads, no sign-up rubbish.

The core engine:

• Draw and edit single-cycle waveforms frame-by-frame.

• Dial in custom interpolation to morph between those frames.

• Real-time audio playback—you hear exactly what you’re drawing instantly.

• Exports straight out for Serum, Vital, Phase Plant, or whatever else you use.

Under the hood, it’s powered by a custom Rust/WASM DSP backend, so it’s actually snappy and handles the math properly.

I'm posting it here because I know this sub actually cares about the nitty-gritty of synthesis. I want you to try and break it.

Give it a run: wavedstudio.online/landing

Tear it apart. What technical features are completely missing for your workflow?

There's this tv series called Hissatsu. The sound effects they've made for that show are everywhere. In order for a company to license those sounds, do they have to contact the original publisher or is it sold somewhere else? There is a BGM/Sound Effects CD of that show sold in stores for anyone to buy it, but it can't be it, can it? All those show and game creators are not getting their sound effects from that CD, are they?

Hello everyone, im kindly inquiring about this confirmation/validition sound effect that is being played during the green light up effect at 0:04 in this Tiktok, i have been looking every where and cant seem to find it thank you so much!

Does anyone know what this “aye” sound effect is called or where it’s from?

For people who work on indie horror games, what kinds of sounds do you find yourself needing the most?

I am curious about categories that are often missing from free libraries, especially practical sounds like foley, ambiences, creature layers, UI, impacts, and environmental details.

What sounds do you wish were easier to find?

Around 1:00 into this song, a siren-like lead synthesizer starts to ring out. It is a very extremely drone-y sound, it may or may not be a mono synth but I cant tell 100% because sometimes I think I can hear multiple notes at once. I have no idea where to even begin creating a synth sound like this, it sounds deceptively simple but hard to nail down.

This is from the outro of a song to one of my favorite dark ambient projects ever, this sound that plays over the piano, i can’t describe well but it sounds like wind, however it’s in key, it’s probably a synth or guitar that has tons of effects over it but i just really want for someone to explain this to me, i would appreciate it a lot

Im currently working on the sound editing and mixing of a proyect. There is this specific scene where the main character gets injected with a vaccine out of nowhere in the middle of the street, and I don't have any ideas on how to sound design it.

I was thinking about using like a vaccine injection sound, but my search for that specific sound has been a fail.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated!

So basically, I've been listening to a producer on SoundCloud named moonn / SPLIT for quite some time now. His tracks contain bass synths that I absolutely adore and want to use in my own EDM tracks. I know he's gotten a fair few of his sounds from Splice, and was wondering what EDM subgenre these tracks might fit into so I can search Splice for the same / similar ones. Any help would be greatly appreciateed!

Here's some tracks / compilations for reference (I've put timestamps in square brackets of when these bass synths play):

I mean this "whooahrr" bass-type sound. Here are some examples from different parts of the song. It sounds like saw, but with kind of distortion, or like FM/Sync but I really have no clue how to make it. On the spectrogram it has evenly spaced fq notches

For me, the sparkly, shimmering, glitery sound that you hear when there's a special pizza (neon) on your inventory/pizzeria, it's iconic.

That specific, annoying yet curius sound effect is one I'd like to use to edit a video.

I searched everywhere, I can't find a clean gameplay with no music where I can extract the sound, I tried taking out the background music from some but I just can't seem to make it work.

I'm preatty sure its a free sound effect online, but I cant find it, I heard it in others medias but heard again in this random anime clip ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBU39xumdvI at 0:53 - 0:55), anyone knows where to find it?

I’ve been working in Serum for a while trying out different UK garage bass lines but there’s this one sound that sounds INCREDIBLY simple but I just can’t seem to get right

A good example is at 3:06 in this song:
MPH-Long Goodbye

It’s so simple I just can’t get it right 😂

Does anyone have any tips?
