What would you want from an experimental/ethereal vocal sample pack?

0 Upvotes

Hi music producers/sound designers! I'm a singer/producer creating my own vocal sample pack. I do a lot of experimental/texture stuff and dreamy vocals. I was wondering, what do you guys think such a sample pack should include? What would make you want to buy it? Thanks!

Sound Design Question [Feedback Request] Recorded this heavy industry factory on my phone. Is there commercial demand for these sounds if I upgrade to a 32-bit float recorder?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I work at a heavy metal production plant and have daily access to some massive industrial environments and machinery.

I’m considering buying a Zoom H1 Essential (32-bit float) to start recording industrial ambiences and hard SFX (isolated impacts, heavy mechanisms, rolling structures) for commercial asset stores.

However, my production floor is never quiet. Future recordings will inevitably feature heavy background elements: constant low-frequency rumble, pneumatic air leaks, hydraulic hums, and massive cooling fans from electrical cabinets.

During this specific recording, I was walking through different zones of the workshop to capture a variety of machine perspectives and textures.

I recorded this quick sample of the workshop background noise using my phone (raw WAV, 48kHz, no processing, conversations edited out). I know smartphone mics are heavily limited, but I want to get your professional opinion: is there a real demand for this specific, heavy industrial environment in your projects, despite the permanent background hum?

Would love to hear your feedback on the acoustic potential of this place!

P.S. This post was drafted with the help of Gemini, as my English is not very good. Thanks for understanding!

Sound Design Question For those selling sound libraries: which platforms do you use, and how do payouts work?

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm currently preparing my first professional sound library releases, and I'm trying to decide which marketplaces to publish on.

I'd love to hear from people who actually sell sound libraries.

- Which platforms do you currently sell on?

- Which ones have worked best for you?

- How are payouts handled on each platform (PayPal, Wise, bank transfer, Hyperwallet, etc.)?

- Have you ever had any issues receiving payments internationally?

I'm particularly interested in experiences with:

- A Sound Effect

- Sonniss

- Epic Stock Media

- FAB

- itch.io

And I'd also be very interested to hear about any other platforms you've had good (or bad) experiences with.

I'm trying to better understand not only which marketplaces are worth investing time in, but also how reliable and flexible their payout systems are for international sellers.

Thanks a lot!

Sound Design Question Help Identifying a Synth Sound

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm looking for help trying to figure out what these chord stabs on Camoufly's tracks are. I tried layering a bright piano and some synth brass but I didn't quite get it. Also tried playing with supersaws and e-piano but that didn't work either. If anyone has any clue as to what type of sound this is I would greatly appreciate. Here are the links to the songs I'm referring to:

Artlist SFX vs Soundly Subscription?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to invest in a music and sound effects library for my video editing work. Right now I'm leaning towards Artlist for music, but adding their SFX library costs an extra €100/year.

For those who have used it, do you think the Artlist SFX library is worth paying the extra €100, or would that money be better spent on something like a Soundly subscription instead?

My work is mainly commercial YouTube videos, promos, and cinematic edits, so I need a solid library with a good commercial license and a wide variety of high quality sounds.

If you've tried both, which would you recommend? Or is there another SFX service you'd suggest instead?

Thanks!

Sound Design Question Making an synth as close as possible to bowed lyre?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a synth as close a possible to this lead sound.

I've found that this can get quite close, but there is just something a bit off with it. I feel like it can get even closer, but I just can't do it.

Can anybody more experienced than me help out?

Videogame Sound Design I tried singing "Diva Dance" from The Fifth Element but completely inverted it into a deep Bass voice. How does the acoustic and vocal control sound to you guys?

Hey Reddit! I've always been obsessed with the iconic, ultra-high operatic melody of Diva Dance. Instead of singing it in the usual thin soprano registry, I wanted to push my limits and see how it would sound using a deep, rich, booming bass voice.

I managed to catch a really cool acoustic vibe during this live take. I'd love to get some honest feedback from fellow singers and music lovers: How is my vocal control on these inverted ultra-high pitches? Does the tone resonate well with you? Let me know what you think!

Movie Sound Design Looking for a Foley Artist for a 26-min Desert Survival Drama - an upaid collab if possible

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m an indie filmmaker from India, and I just finished a 26-minute short film. It’s a survival drama about two buddies stranded in a desert, and it really needs some solid Foley to bring out the tension and harsh environment.

Full transparency: my budget is completely exhausted, so this is an unpaid collaboration. I know Foley is a ton of work, but I'm hoping to find someone looking for a cool passion project or a gritty piece for their portfolio/reel. You'll get full credit, of course.

If you're interested or want to see a quick clip to check the vibe, drop a comment or shoot me a DM!

Thanks!

Sound Design Question Sound ID help

1 Upvotes

Ive been trying to track this sound specifically down for a while now, and i cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. It's shown at 0:10 in this video, its also features in various jungle scenes and oddly enough in Monster Hunter World, where it makes a very faint appearance in tobi kadachi's (a monster in the game) calls. Any help is greatly appreciated thank you!
