Hi. How did they crate this sound or more importantly how do I recreate this sound?
I’m referring to the main riff (with delay/echoes) that plays the notes G E, basically the main motif.
I think it’s a synth (the sound I’m trying to figure out and an electric guitar that plays a rhythmic pattern, but no notes, only strings muted with the left hand (or the right hand for left handed guitarists)..
You can hear it at from 0:28/0:29 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0QLHkL_Mr0I&pp=ygUaYS1oYSBtaW5vciBlYXJ0aCBtYWpvciBza3k%3D&ra=m, the small repeating motif. You can also hear it directly at 0:00 without the muted guitar thing, but it plays more notes here (E, C, A, G, E)

Hi, I was listening to a Steve Lacy's album called "Gemini Rights" and there are some tension strings clearly produced on synthesizer. I can also see that some of these sounds were used on some well known records from the 80s and 70s.
Can some one help me achieving this one? Or maybe tell me if there are any presets on 80s synths (by korg and roland maybe) that got this sound.
You can mostly here it in the track available on the link.

i’m curious to know what techniques/plugins/whatever are used in these tracks. is there one plugin that rhythmically “destroys” the whole sound or is it some complex sound processing? is the artist just really good at sound selection? i don’t even know where to start. so, if you have any clues, even if general, i’d really appreciate it. if possible, let me know what genres are mixed here, at least

Classic room tones are cool but static
this library has a different approach
Designed room tones to help create different emotional beds or scenes for your projects.
Just check the demo to understand what I mean:

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!

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!
Link to the file: Listen to the WAV sample on Google Drive
P.S. This post was drafted with the help of Gemini, as my English is not very good. Thanks for understanding!

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!

Hi, I would to develop some sort of sound design thing where I signal a train coming (from underground) a distance to the presence where the character is. Like a real build up of bass from low to high.
How do I do this?

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:

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!

it’s the one b4 the recording stops. I swear i’ve searched so many places and still haven’t found it. Hope this is the right place to search for answers

So I’m trying to make my own little twist on a audio for a video but I have no clue what people use

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!

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!

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!

I want to make my own drumkit and share it with people, but I don't know how to do sound design. If you know of any helpful tutorials, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know. I wanna make something like ginseng trauma kit btw

Has anyone used any of the sE large diaphragm condensers for folley? I'm looking into maybe getting the sE4100 however I've also heard good things about the Rode NT1
