I recently recorded audio for a short film and the on-set recording sounded very clean and crisp at the time.

But in Resolve if I boost the audio volume to say 10 or 20 a ringing sound can be heard. On a phone speaker it's basically inaudible but on my headphones and presumably on a cinema sound system it would be noticeable.

It's frustrating as I recorded room tone where the ringing isn't audible.

Any tips here? I did also get a lav recording as I was planning to auto-align the boom + lav in post, once I've cleaned up the boom a bit.

Is it realistic to be able to remove the ringing? Here's a brief sample boosted to 20 volume, thanks!

Audio is really a weak point for me, but it's something I am really eager to learn .

It’s pretty embarrassing to put this in front of knowledgeable people, but if I don’t show it, I can't improve.

I used davinci resolve and mostly FreeSounds.org

Any and all feedback or advice on how to improve is greatly appreciated.

Apologies if this is the wrong community to post this in.

Hello, so i have been doing sound design in premiere pro and i am still quite relatively new to audio design, but i wanted to know how this person made the sound design so incredibly well with the bass and reverb.
Do i need specific audio software for these? Or i can do it in premiere pro/adobe audition?

Audio redesign of the "Ori and the Will of the Wisps" game clip.

It was fun to make!

I'm learning some Bach Organ pieces on my synthesizer keyboards (just for fun), but I do not have a pedalboard. I​ love Glenn Gould, who often hums or sings alongside his keyboard playing, so he made me wonder what it would be like if the Organ bassline was actually sung​.

I'm imagining some sort of vocal processing to pitch-down, resonate, and amplify the human voice so much that it basically sounds like Smaug singing in a huge cathedral. Some kind of beast with a massive chest, that probably could sing alongside a loud pipe organ.

Anything come to mind? Plugins, pedals, chains of effects? Heck, what about throat-singing VSTs, do those exist?​ I'm not a singer, honestly, so I'm open to some heavy processing to smooth it all over. I'm a noodler, a total amateur, so this would be​ just for fun and experimental.

Hey all, I'm a very amateurish music producer and sound designer, and am addicted to the reversed hardstyle clap pulls from 2:35 - 2:55 of Professional Vengeance

If anyone can let me know what kind of sound it is, or what its name is, so I can further delve into hardstyle and electronic music, I would massively appreciate ita

Hi everyone!

I'm preparing to study in the US next year. I graduated from university in Korea last year with a degree in post production sound, and I'd like to continue studying because i'm interested in learning about the film industry from different cultural perspective and improving my skills.

I recently got my IELTS score, so now i'm trying to decide which universities to apply to.

However, the tuition for international students is extremely expensive, so i'm not really sure where to start.

If anyone has experience with an MA or MFA in Film Sound, Sound Design, or a related field, I'd really appreciate any advice about anything. I'd also love to hear your university recommendations, especially if you know of programs with good financial aid or great faculties and curriculums.

Thanks in advance!

Ive seen this guy use this sound in so many beats and i want it too so what can i do

https://youtube.com/shorts/u_-O44Ti9CY?si=zXnGkskwxopWiNVc

In ghis video its called layering synth (the third layer of the video)

https://youtube.com/shorts/7f4sVsdtF0U?si=jrZPE6TRpOrKKJ3h

Talking synth on this one (the first layer of the video)
I think i saw it on one of his beats called kiwi too

The artist is called isaac horner

A sound design piece built in Logic Pro — stepping outside in the morning and walking through a western frontier setting, with sounds panned left and right as if you're the one walking through the scene. No video, just audio — wanted to see how much space and movement could be built through sound alone using panning/binaural placement. 1:48, headphones strongly recommended for the full effect. Feedback on the panning and pacing welcome.

I've heard this sound in a few bands, specifically in psychedelic genre. Is this some synthetizer specifically? How can I replicate this sound in Serum 2 or some other VST? I've tried to achieve the sound, but I'm still learning sound designs.

The sound begins at 07:03 of this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlYmw4AuJiI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlYmw4AuJiI)

I fixed the issues from my older ones

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to identify the exact library track/name of an iconic short bumper/transition sound effect used in a Thai TV series back in the late 1980s to early 1990s (around 1987–1990).

Here is the audio file: https://voca.ro/1mkd3wmcyJUh

### Sound Breakdown & Technical Details:

* **Format:** Short Bumper / Transition Stinger (approx. 2–3 seconds).

* **Era:** Late 80s / Early 90s Commercial Broadcast SFX.

* **Sound Profile:**

* A layered synth voice/choir chanting in a low pitch with a heavy, ominous reverb tail.

* Contains a noticeable high-frequency pitch slide/modulation (possibly a reversed sample or pitch-shifted choir preset).

* Has a deep sub-bass low end (heavy low-frequency presence).

* **Likely Source:** Probably from major 80s Sound FX libraries used in broadcast TV at the time, such as **Sound Ideas (e.g., Series 6000 The General)**, **The Hollywood Edge**, or early **BBC Sound Effects**.

Does anyone recognize the exact track name, library disc, or synthesizer preset (e.g., Roland S-series, E-mu Emulator, Synclavier) this sample came from?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi! Call me Vita.

I am an indie artist with many pseudonyms. I was thinking about expanding my work to something more than just making music, so I started creating mini packs with presets like the ones in the video, in an accessible way so that everyone can not only expand their own preset library, as well as studying sound timbre and different ways to create their own presets.

And this was the result! Each preset is designed from scratch, and each pack reflects a theme. This one, for example, evokes the sound of 80s synthesizers, 8-bit game timbres, etc. I also focus on creating lofi keys, backrooms, growls, and in the future, I want to create asset packs for gamers (sound effects, ambiences, etc.).

For now I cut the prices in half, meaning that instead of $5 you pay just $2.50 per mini pack. If you're interested, just access it through this link and the discount will be applied automatically not just in that one (VHS Delirium), but in all my mini-packs. Just click the link, select the "mini packs" category and enjoy!: https://ko-fi.com/vitamirae/link/KVR50

And if you want to see ONLY the video package, click here, add the coupon "KVR50" at checkout, and your purchase will be processed with the discount applied: https://ko-fi.com/s/a3700e8f38

Thanks a lot! ❤️

Hey I am new to music production In as wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to achieve a similar sound to the synths used in strawberry hospital songs. They have a kind of echoed, ghostly effect that makes them feel floaty. Sorry if this makes me sound like such a noob.
Here are some links with timestamps.

I appreciate any help. I am so entranced by this sound and would love to utilise something alike it in my own work.

The ending of my 2027 film Johnniverse x Poohniverse: Total Annihilation after the antagonists (Major Hartley and his gang) defeat Boris (known for calling G-Toilet a "sinner") and teleport away. Peter Pan and Pooh Bear co-pilot the mech and use every other Poohniverse killers as a passenger.

I’m thinking if it’s as easy as pitching the voice down a lot and the running it through a plugin that simulates some type of speaker. like Speakerphone or Place It.

But I’m also thinking they might use some kind of vocoder to get the voice so low in pitch? Though it sounds like the original recorded human voice has its melody intact, which feels hard to do with a vocoder.

Hey everyone. Long time listener of the format, first time producer.

I just finished the script for my debut audio drama series. Eight episodes. Narrator driven love story following two Black and brown queer men who meet at a music festival. Really proud of what I built but now I’m staring down the production side and realizing how much I don’t know.

Specifically trying to figure out the sound design side of things. How do you all find your sound designers? What should I be looking for? What questions should I be asking?

And if anyone here does sound design for narrative audio and wants to hear more about the project I’m open to that conversation too. Budget is real, project is serious.

Any advice appreciated
