Hi there! I do sound design as a hobby and (re)create interesting effects in FL Studio's Patcher that sort of behave like famous plugins like Morph EQ, Rezonator, Pitchmap Colors or Tantra, albeit simpler versions in some cases or with slightly different ideas.

I use them myself for making music like Drum and Bass and Dub Techno. If you'd like to know more you can find them on aquanode.gumroad.com or see them in action in the videos linked below. Thanks for checking them out, I hope I can offer creative tools with them, that can speed up sound design for you and boost your creativity!

Hi everyone, I want to recreate a very specific sound. I'm guessing it happens when a gunshot is recorded to close up, resulting in it being too loud to be recorded properly and cutting out at points. A good example of what I mean can be found here. I really wanna recreate this sound in a video game, but don't know how. My best shot was making a compressor curve like this, but even that's not perfect. Any ideas?

I'd like to learn about sound and its creation.

I don't have a goal of working on the field or even making sounds as a hobby. I'm from a technical background (math), and am really just interested in understanding sound design works at a lower level- ideally, what I'd like is some sort of node based tool where I'd be able to create a wave of some type - e.g. start with a simple sine wave, route it through other nodes that would apply effects etc., and while doing this, I could see the actual waveform and the spectrum too (at each node/after each applied effect).

I don't really care about the potential of the software being viable for making actual production quality sounds or whatever. I'd like an easy to use, non-overwhelming software, that would let me make waves, apply effects, mix stuff etc., and also be able to visualize/see the actual waveform at all times.

Recommendations on books/articles (preferably over videos) s on what sort basic waves it's a good idea to create would be great.

Hello i need some advice in buying a microphone around or under 100$ for game sound recording: acoustic instruments (piano, guitar, oriental percussion) and also for minecraft like sound effects (ex.: walking, swooshing, punching, etc.) I would appreciate any feedback :).
Thanks in advance :)

Hi fellow sound people! I want to try something new and contact mics seem to be alot of fun. Can you guys recomment a mic that provides quality and doesnt drain my wallet too much?

Hey here is one of the way to achieve water with sound design.
It is not perfect but quite flexible :

Nice day

Hello, I'm wondering if there is an archive anywhere of the past free BOOM sounds that they send out monthly in the newsletter. I only caught wind of it a few months ago, but from what I can tell it seems like they've been sending them out for years now. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I'm looking for a short scene from a movie (1-2 minutes) to give to students and have them replace the entire sound design with their own foley. Ideally the clip would have little or no dialogue. Also the scene should have various sounds that they could replace. Any suggestions?

What effect is that texture at 0:54? How do I replicate that effect?

I am looking for good open headphones that are suitable to operate them on the MacBook. So they should not have too high an impedance and should be perfect for mixing and mastering. Do you have any recommendations? I am currently using a MacBook Pro M3 Ultra which, according to Apple, also supports headphones with higher impedance.

Just like the title says, I really want to find the riser from the Arrow's theme

It plays at the end of the song. 2:15
I can't find one that sounds like it anywhere, and don't have the skills to make one that sounds the same.
Can anyone help?

As a game developer I used to struggle for finding the sound design I wanted. It takes some MUCH time haha

I finally have started to use generative AI and I feel it's promising.

I'd like to know what do you guys use to search for sfx fast ?

I've been wanting to get this kinda lofi bedroom studio piano sound for a while as its one of my favorite sounds in general, I've gotten somewhat close by using closed piano sounds, but not close enough. Is there any vsts or general tips I could use to get this sound digitally? Or is it just really exclusive to someone recording a piano track on tape

Below are some examples of what I mean

Sleep In Sundays - Personified

Hi,

I'm attempting to create a deep transitioning swell sound. At least I believe this would be considered a 'swell.' I'm leaning towards using some sort of sub bass patch and use of some ADSR manipulation, but in mind i'm hearing and feeling use of either f/x of which i cant think of off top and/or some other type of synthesis features.

I've included links below to audio clips of me attempting to mimic(pardon the sound quality) what i'm hearing in my head.

I'm using both Adobe Audition and Guitar Rig 7 to record and mix my VO. Contrary to the topic title, I'm very happy with the sound and tone of my voice...as long as I'm listening through my studio quality headphones (designed for studios).

But when I play them back through my cheap computer speakers or ear buds (which I feel is more representative of the average user setup), it sounds hollow or kinda like it's in a fishbowl. I assume this is because I'm losing the bottom because the cheap hardware can't push it that well.

Is there a way to account for this in the mix, so it sounds good on all setups (either pro level or the low-end speakers)?

How does one get as fat 808 as in linked song @s52?

Stacked 808 and kick? Stacked 808s? Just mixing and good sound selection?

Im dying to know

Hi guys, where can I find you guys? What's the optimal way to find Sound Designers? On Linkedin, Upwork?

I'm looking for Pros that do Sound design for animation projects.

Hi all,

I've been tasked to come up with a business plan/marketing strategy for one of my degree modules. I was wondering if anyone has done this and has any tips for developing this as a freelance sound designer.

I've been trying to replicate the vocal effects on the G1 Transformers Decepticon characters, e.g. Megatron, Starscream, etc. (not Soundwave), and it's proving to be painfully difficult figuring out how to achieve that scratchy, sort of tinny sound in their voices. It's not in the Autobot characters, whose voices are 'cleaner' and much easier to mimic, just the common Decepticons.

Here's a funny clip that features such voice effects.

I've tried all sorts of things, and I suspect it's deceptively simple (no pun intended), but despite playing around with delays, reverbs, choruses, flangers, EQs, and even some layering with vocoders, I simply cannot figure it out. It sure doesn't help that there aren't any tutorials on this quirk, and the last thing online I can find anywhere that even mentions this quality of the G1 Decepticons' voices is a forum thread from 2012.

I have come to you all for your expertise, praying once and for all that this nut might be finally cracked!

Hey, i need some help to figure what is the processing to get a voice like that in the song "Aspects of Rhythme" by Audiojunkie :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_h5XiDBuvI

That sounds so good! Also if you can recommend a good vocoder plugin to get some "robot voice" like that?

Edit : It feels to me that the voice is layered with a synth, like a saw on a low octave with some resonance with keytracking... not sure

Thanks a lot!

Hey I’m a film major and I need a sound designer to help with clearing up some audio which has some reverb due to the room The dialogue was recorded in. I also need the last line said by an actor to sound more studio like as it sounds a bit distant.
