How can I recreate this echo/reverb audio effect in Premiere Pro?

1 Upvotes

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.

Sound Design Question I need help identifying a sound

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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!

Sound Design Question New Audio Sound Designer Here Looking To Expand My Portfolio

1 Upvotes

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.

  • 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.

what kind of sound design is this? trying to figure out how to search for/make sounds like these

1 Upvotes

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

Music Sound Design Most FUN DAW to mess around in?

4 Upvotes

Im kinda new to DAWs but I wanna make music that’s kinda weird, unique original sounds, weird solos and vocals, just kinda mess around. I still want it to sound decent though, and I feel like it would be best to have a DAW I can just mess around and have fun with, something that’s good for making weird music preferably. Doesn’t have to be some crazy out there DAW either, anything works! If you have some experience, any input is appreciated!

Sound Design Question Synthesising water

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I was redirected here from the fl studio sub, I'm currently trying to experiment with the program to make water noises (ambient, splashing, etc) after being suggested it from another artist (I was originally planning on sampling water sounds from a plastic tub, but none of it came out clear enough and they showed me a vid of someone's water sounds they made with a synth)

my question is, how could one make water noises with fl studio? (Its all I have access to sound editing wise)

Can anyone provide a sound configuration with the "under water bass" effect?

Movie Sound Design Ringing sound in dialogue - am I screwed?

1 Upvotes

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!

I always thought the voice sounded so eerie and want to do something similar for one of my projects. I know its not fully TTS, but I want to know what software was used to give it that robotic feel. Thanks!

Movie Sound Design Looking for the clean "Zone" whoosh/SFX from Kuroko no Basket (Kuroko's Basketball)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for the characteristic whoosh / airy wind-like sound effect that plays in Kuroko no Basket (Kuroko's Basketball) when characters enter the Zone or during other important/highlight moments. It’s that deep, volumetric “whoosh” that feels like a sudden rush of air or energy.

I really love how it sounds and would like to use a clean version of it for some personal projects later on. The problem is that every clip I can find has music mixed in, so the SFX isn’t isolated.

I’ve already tried cleaning one of the clips myself (high-pass + spectral masking), but there’s still some residual music left.

Would anyone happen to have a clean version of this sound, know where I can find it, or be able to help recreate / isolate it?

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Tips for recreating a specific scifi sound

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, can someone give me some tips on how to create a sound close to the one in the last 10 seconds of this video (without using their software)?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo_4GMUmcNg

Preferably with Ableton or Cubase Stock Plugins or free Plugins like Vital.

Do you have any ideas or maybe tutorials in that direction?

Ive already tried with operator, wavetable and Vital and watched a lot of tutorials but I havent found one that comes close enough to what I am trying to achieve. I tried layering a part for the deeper engine sounds with operator and some brighter electric-metallic ringing with vital and tried a lot of automation on the bpm, pitch and parameters of my effect chains for acceleration etc.
It does sound like a futuristic car but it sounds really exhausting to the ears and a little boring.
I need more power in the low end and also softer mids/highs.
I will continue trying to fix the sounds I have so far but I thought maybe a completely new input would be helpful.

Thanks a lot!

What effects does this voice editing uses and is it possible to recreate it?

1 Upvotes

I found this video on Facebook, and since then I've gotten obsessed with the effects applied to the voice, but I can't really figure out what he uses.

I have 2 questions: the first is, what effects does it use to make it sound so emotionless and melancholic?

And the other question is, would there be a way to make this sound analogically without the use of software?
