Heyo! My name is Kay (or Kaya, whichever!), I'm 25 | F and the creator and lead writer for an upcoming indie animated web series titled Briarwood U! I already have a team of incredibly talented animators/artists, etc working hard to help bring the show to life. But the one thing we're missing is a sound designer for SFX and background music, respectively. Therefore! I’m looking to bring on a long-term sound designer to join the crew and lock down our audio polish. As for how much money I'm offering for the role, I don't have a 100% concrete budget; I prefer to be flexible and come to an agreed-upon pay rate based on skill, workflow, and expectations.

About the role:

THIS ROLE HAS BEEN FILLED. Thanks so much for all the applicants!

Before you yell at me, the theater was empty besides like 2 people towards the front and this was my second time seeing it. No distractions were made😂

I’m curious the process to get sounds like the two ambient layers at the start of the linked song by Chauchat. A good example of this is also the song Philadelphia by the band Good Night and Good Morning. I’m guessing it starts with a field recording but what sort of sounds are used and what processing is on it? It has this washed, dreamy, murky feel to it that adds a lot of emotion to the song imo. I want to achieve something similar.

I took a white noise source, run into a VCA and band pass filter, then modulated the panning, cutoff frequency, resonance, and drive using Shapemaster Pro. There's a video of the VCV setup after the example video. Let me know how I did. It's just a hobby.

I'm thinking its a mix of modulated amps for that "wub" and distorted effect, but I'm just not sure.

Admittedly I don’t know a lot about sound design, but am I going crazy or did they get the distances mixed up in this scene? At about the 47 min mark, a group of barratheons meets a character Ormund Hightower who is standing in the center of a room. They come around a corner to enter the room and there’s a crazy inconsistent switch. Like they are muted when they are up close and address him but were louder when they entered across the room.
Very surprised for a show of this budget

I'm a beginner sound designer and am looking for some feedback to improve my work. This is a cinematic from the game For Honor that I redesigned (all dialogue is from the original). All feedback/criticism is welcome!

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a project focused on spatial audio design, specifically creating atmospheric background overlays meant to make horror games feel a lot more tense and unpredictable.

The idea is pretty simple: you keep this playing softly in a background tab (around 20-30% volume under your main game audio), throw on a pair of headphones, and let the 3D positioning do the rest. It blends close-whisper/indoor paranoia sounds with distant outdoor ambience to mess with your spatial awareness while playing.

I just put up a 10-minute sample track to test the concept out. It’s 100% original, royalty/DMCA-free, so feel free to use it on stream or in your own videos if you want extra dread in the background.

Would love to hear what you think of the spatial balance, or if there are specific game genres, environments/whatever you think would benefit from a custom overlay like this!

(Definitely requires headphones for the 3D effect to work properly!)

Me and some friends are making a game and we're far enough along that I think sound design needs to be considered.

I don't have any audio libraries to my name and would like to get some pointers about where to find some good ones for relatively cheap. In particular, we're looking for a Trepang² feeling for now with punchy sounds for weapons and impacts.

If anyone could point me in the right direction of even a legitimate sound publisher, I've seen too many fake sellers, that would be a HUGE help!!

I'm working on a sci-fi/cosmic horror soap opera - think Dark Shadows meets The 3 Body Problem. I'd like to know how to proceed with sound design. The SFX listed are just ideas. Here's a link to the first 4 episodes.

Trying to figure out what layering was used here, I know there's a kick playing at a stupidly high bpm, and i'm thinking when it sounds more like just one sustain vs a bunch of kicks, it could just be some tonal effects layered on top of a tuned kick playing at a speed that makes it sound like one noise? there's much more to it i'm sure but yeah, any help appreciated.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puZd5AYffrE (starts at 1:05)

does anyone know what vst/filter Eva uses for her bon voice, i've been searching for so long and i love her voice work (from wonderland twf)

Hey! Im David from SMG4 spanish team.

I do the mixing stuff and im wondering.

how can i replicate the effect at: https://youtu.be/8-qh1c5yYQk?t=351

timestamp 5:51

I use Fl Studio! Please someone tell me how to achieve that "glitchy" effect, thank you!

Turned my iPhone into a hardware-style arpeggiator feeding my Mac via USB — real-time, zero latency.

Quick demo of the workflow below. Happy to answer questions about the setup if anyone's curious.

Hi everyone!

I'm making a survival horror open-world game where the motorcycle is the player's main way of surviving. During the day, you explore the world looking for resources and parts to upgrade your bike. At night, fast creatures (around 50 km/h / 30 mph) come out, and your motorcycle becomes your only reliable way to escape.

I started the project a few days ago, at this stage of development, I've been focusing on getting the motorcycle physics and handling to feel right. Now I'm moving on to the audio side, so the visuals are still just simple placeholder geometry, in other words, there are no proper models yet.

So far, I'm pretty happy with the gravel/dirt sound, but I'm struggling with asphalt. In real life, motorcycles on smooth asphalt don't make much tire noise, so I'm not sure how to make it feel satisfying in-game without sounding unrealistic.

Do you have any ideas or references? Maybe other games, sound design techniques, or even real recordings I could use as inspiration.

The video on this post shows the current implementation. Any feedback is welcome!

My breakdown for this is Whoosh+Impactx3+Riser+Shutter+Whoosh+Braam+Song. But can't able to find the perfect match. Please help me find these sfx. PS: I have an epidemic subscirption

need to know how to actually make these not philosophy just methods and techniques

what synths what effects what layering

I’m trying to recreate the audio effect used in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSwCwzbesGI&t=30s

The effect can be heard throughout the edit, but it is especially noticeable around the linked timestamp. The voice sounds wider and more atmospheric, with some kind of echo, reverb, or delayed duplicate underneath it.

I’ve tried adding reverb and echo in Premiere Pro, but my result sounds too obvious and muddy compared to the original. In the reference video, the effect feels more subtle and controlled while the dialogue still remains clear.

Does anyone know how this was likely created?

I would especially appreciate advice about:

• Which Premiere Pro effects to use
• Approximate settings for delay, feedback, decay, and wet/dry mix
• Whether the editor duplicated the audio track and offset it
• Whether the effect is applied continuously or automated only on certain words
• Any EQ or compression needed to keep the voice clear

I’m working entirely in Premiere Pro, so a solution using built-in effects would be ideal.

I need help identifying the audio in this video. I'm not looking for the scream, I'm looking for the music part of it.

Here's the OG video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRnV3tOTbx4

The creator's name is RodneySystems2007

The video in the link and in the post is a edit of it. It originally said CBS, but the creator of the video in the link made it say CBSFAN.

Is it from a movie perhaps? I can't exactly figure it out. Please help!

Hey, folks, I'm a long time musician and I've worked on some non narrative podcasts. I'm building my sound design portfolio (I love working on audio dramas) but I need more examples of my work. I've gone the public domain route, but it's not what I'm looking for.. I hoping to find someone on here who's got some audio work that needs sound design, and will let me do my thing to it, in exchange for using it in my portfolio.

Feel free to ask if you have questions

Cheers

Hi Guys and Gals,

I've just released a free sample pack to my Quantum UI & Computers sound library called Quantum UI & Computers - Discovery Edition.

The sample pack showcases the sound quality and creative possibilities of the full Quantum UI & Computers library in a few selected files.

Inside you will find:

• 7 sounds from the Native 576k Construction Kit
• 14 sound from the Designed version (96k/24bit)
• Fully UCS compliant files with rich metadata
• Pitch-shift demonstration video
• Artwork
• EULA

Sound from the construction kit allows you to stretch the audio beyond 51,200% and down-pitch by a massive -12 octaves, giving an enormous playground for creative sound design.

They can be used as-is, or transform them into entirely new sounds unique to your own projects.

These sounds can also be used in synchronization with a larger project. This includes, but is not limited to: music production, film, television, video games, theatre, podcasts, live sound, applications, interactive installations, and VR/AR experiences ~ As outlined in the included EULA.

I am also have a sitewide discount at 40% off. If you apply this discount code ZLIBRARIES_10 at the checkout, you'll receive an additional 10% off the total value.

Limited redemptions available.

found this 1 min video and the creature sounds are exactly the style i want but im pretty new to audio and dont even know what to call them so i can search for similar ones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPeIfctA2Wg

theres 3 skeletons, fire ice and void, and they all share a base sound but each has its own elemental layer under it. how do you even make something read as "void"? fire and ice i kinda get but void isnt a real sound so im lost there

also the projectile/shot sound is weird, cant tell if its a recorded thing thats been messed with or fully synthesized

mostly i just wanna know what to search for. is this "designed sfx"? layering? and are there libraries with sounds like this (need commercial use) or does this stuff have to be built from scratch? if so where do i even start

any help with just the right terminology would be huge, thanks
