Hello, I'm not sure where else to ask this question but I'm desperately trying to figure out how to get a similar sound effect to the old Hanna Barbera credits outro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxhkxsXO2rw
I really want to use a similar sound for my YouTube outros but have no idea what to even search to find a copyright free sound effect for this. I really love the old retro sound to it and I also really love the sound effects that start in Fly Like An Eagle by Steve Miller Band at 3:58, I just have no idea where to look to even find sounds like this. Please help!
A while ago I was messing around with some granular plugins (I think??) and found a way to make standard singing/talking vocal recordings sound more like the performer was belting or yelling, but I’ve gone back through my project files and didn’t save what I was doing, I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I really want to recreate this, anyone have any idea what to do/what sort of plugins might do this? i am 90% sure i was using Arturia's EFX Fragments
Sorry if this sounds like an easy answer, but I'm trying to decide what class to take next semester that would best help a future in a sound career? I don't really have one I'm aiming for, I'm definitely just interested in the whole idea of adding sound to visual media.
Therefore idk if it would be best to take a Seminar in Audio Production with a focus on Ableton Live for the whole semester — i don't really know how to use ableton and I figure this could help in the field. a con I could think of is not every job will require this software use.
2nd option is straight sound design — i just know it'll give me more skills in sound design, but only a semesters worth. but it's a start right? this is my last semester in grad school, so i wanna take a class that'll really help.
I'm working on an audio drama right now where the listener gets forcibly dunked in and out of goo/jelly by a giant monster and I'm trying to figure out how to make it sound like when you're fully underwater? You know like everything is muffled and you feel the pressure of the pool in your ears? How would you recommend going about creating an effect like that?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
Hi post sound people! Happy new years - I'm working, myself...
I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for examples of that effect commonly used in film where a character has a sudden realisation/emotional pivot, often accompanied with a closeup, and the soundscape changes from naturalistic to stylised - in comes reverb, low-pass filter, that kind of thing.
I'm looking for references to show a director - preferably not a war "slow mo horror" example. It's something I know I've seen a billion times, but can't find an actual example of. Any suggestions?
Happy holidays!
I’ve noticed recently that there’s so much ADR and dubbing on shows where they switch the coverage to change the line. I’m wondering if there’s a reason why? My current example is Sex Lives of College Girls on HBO.
Hey just looking to see if anyone is looking for a sound designer assistant or has anyone looking for that. Figured I’d ask on here, whether it’s multimedia or games. DM me if you have anything.
I would like to know what you would do to create this intro!
I'm using Audacity with OpenVINO plugin for instrumental separation and getting 4 tracks: Bass, Drums, Vocal and Other.
I'm trying to split the "Other" track which has both piano and guitar.
Looking at UVR Demucs models, I also get 4 tracks.
Any suggestion on which model can I use?
Thanks!
Hi r/sounddesign , I’m Ollie. I’m currently writing, directing, and editing an ongoing post-apocalyptic audio drama called Graven. If you’ve never heard of audio drama, it’s basically a more advanced radio play for a modern audience. (BBC and Amazon/Audible are the current pioneers of the industry). My indie show is created with zero budget and with sound effects, ambience, and tone heavily in mind.
Anyone who is adept at sound design, if you could listen to a couple episodes and give me some criticism, you would be much appreciated. It’s ongoing and we have five episodes out so far. I’m a college film school-grad who is just getting starting finding my niche, which happens to be Sound, and I know how important criticism is to growth. Here’s the link to the options to listen to the show:
Hi all, guidance needed. I’m planning to purchase Sennheiser MKE600 to use with my ZoomH1n (which I already have). Is it a good combination? Or should I require ZoomH6 or F3 to get good quality sound? I’m a documentary filmmaker and need to record specific sounds outdoors, that is why I’m purchasing it.
so ive got one term left before i finish my degree in music technology and sound design. i’ll receive my BSc and hopefully ive done well enough to get a high class degree.
my dream is to do sound design for games. i’ll work on movies, tv, short films, anything if it means starting out. apprenticeships or internships are also something i’m down for. i’m starting to try and figure out how to get my first job to begin my career and it’s… hard.
Do i start by asking some of my lectures for connections that might help me out? do i reach out to the universities career team? do i look on websites? ect.
i feel its such a niche career path that im having trouble starting the search. i stay in scotland (if that relevant) any advice would be great

With the December holidays, I've been getting a ton of offers from platforms like Puremix, Mix with the Masters, or Slate Digital Academy. They all have great info on music production, and I was wondering if there's a similar offer but focused on sound design or audio post-production.
Do you know any alternatives?
Can anyone tell me how those chord stabs are made when the verse comes in? I can hear a kick layered under, but not sure how to get a synth to sound like the stabs
There's this audio clip that I can't find a midi instrument or a soundfont because I don't know really how do describe it. Any help is appreciated

I have serum and ableton but im rly new to music production still. Any tips appreciated
Your opinion on presets?
Hi there, was doing a sound design homework for a school video and I’ve thought to myself, is it that bad to use presets?
The question rises because I always try my best to do the sound design all by myself while some other students in my class use presets as well. This time I tried to switch full on preset mode, of course manipulating the sound, but using only presets.
It took me half of the time I usually spend on making the music for a 3 minute commercial video, but It felt almost like cheating to me?
Speaking of making music in general, what’s your take on using presets instead of making the sound design by yourself?
I'm trying to make my first game ever and I'd like to know how to reproduce/recreate (like what software to use and how) the creepy string sound from This video at second 0:14 (Spoilers for Attack on Titan and also trigger warning in case you're sensitive to vomit like sounds).
im talking about this sound at 00:47: enuma elish
there is an initial braam-sounding thing and then a slowly rising screech that kinda sounds like a bow playing a sheet of metal, which is the sound im looking to recreate
it also appears here in the firing sequence at 0:35, but its higher in pitch:
alice's burst element
First of all I definitely don't fully understand what through zero FM is. From what I understand it keeps the original pitch of the carrier, regardless of the pitch of the modulator. I have only heard about it in the context of modular tho so I'm not even sure if the question wether it exist in digital makes sense. If it does I would love to experiment with it in the box.
Idk sound design and in the editor i cant manage to get that wave
Hey hey! Looking for suggestions for plugins that help with creating a sense of outdoor space?
Finding plenty that replicate interior rooms and such but things like forests, grassy spaces etc are hard to come by.
Just wondering what’s out there?
Thanks and merry Xmas!!!
I am shooting some documentary type stuff up in the mountains snowboarding.
I want to use lav mics for dialog, but also want to have a mic that will pic up the sounds of the environment and sounds of the jacket moving and board scraping ect.
What happens if I drop both on top of each other? Does this degrade quality?
I need a way to do this quickly as there is an episode ounce a week.
Any thoughts would be sweet!
