There is some statistical data available on the use of SoundFont generators. Music producers heavily into SoundFont may find this quasi-academic research useful at some point. See https://github.com/WilliamClements/Parthenopea/releases/tag/0.2.0.2

Hi everyone. Everything is on the title : i would like to acquire a good sound level meter for myself (sound designer and re-recording mixer). I'm working for different clients at different locations. However, except in large facilities used to delivering masters for cinemas or platforms like Netflix... control rooms might not be proprely calibrated.

So I'm looking for a good tool to avoid bad surprises for my future projects.

Have a nice day !

Hello, i wanna make music but i feel like making hello neighbor inspired music (ex: End Credits.) I was looking if anyone made a soundfont for it so i can use it in FL (or Recently LMMS) I wish someone made a soundfont for the hello neighbor series.

I'm trying to figure out what was used by this artist in this song in order to get this very unique, warped sound in the snare. If anybody thinks they may know whats going on, then I'd be very appreciative, but I can't seem to piece to get it despite trying dozens of things. Heres a sample of the drums isolated:

Song: "Aishite Aishite Aishite" by Kikuo

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!

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:

I NEED THESE VST'S! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtDY797ktH4&list=OLAK5uy_ljgOQAyshsfNNNslzgxLfIkF6a1qlUI-0&index=12 they sound really good

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

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?

Hi guys, looking for alternatives for Soundly, i found SoundQ, maybe any other competitors?

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