    I'm really glad there's someone out there doing this. Breaking down sound design for folks and stuff like that. It's a field most people don't think about, but it's rewarding as hell.

      I decided to try it out! I made my own SPNKR Rocket Launcher sound effect. Its on my channel give it a look!

      if you were a Halo fan, you would've complained that he used the anniversary beam rifle, and not the regular beam rifle from the original Halo 2.

      Yes, a fan always moans about a sound in a game that was made with random objects.

    This is amazing! I'm an animation student, and for a lot of our projects we're encouraged to add sound effects to our animations, but the sound library we're given access to just doesn't always have what I'm looking for. It's nice to see that it is possible to create good sound effects without really professional equipment, you have yourself a new subscriber! ^^

  • @Reg4real
    @Reg4real 6 років тому +2

    knowing how to embrace your limitations is one my my favorite part of creating, i love how you did this with nothin fancy and made a even cooler sound for the gun.

      GTO Driver Rico Well maybe I'm on a phone and the fucking thumbnail does not have "sound" anywhere? Did you even look at the thumbnail before typing to see if there's something you didn't catch?

  • @MarkHimley
    @MarkHimley 5 років тому +4

    DUDE no way. I discovered your music a few years back and we chatted briefly when I was trying to figure out how to blend funk music and electronic music. I think I originally asked you about sampling RHCP and how you used the THX sound. Fast forward to now, I've been on a sound design kick lately and been obsessing and I stumble across your stuff again, and once again it's absolutely killer. Idk what that means, but I think it's kinda cool haha. Anyways, keep up the awesome stuff! Gonna be checking out the rest of your sound design stuff for sure

    • @MarshallMcGee

  • @InclementFilms

    Seriously so glad I stumbled onto this channel. For my videos I have always wanted to get into the creation of sounds, but never really knew where to begin. This is huge! Thanks man! Please please please keep going! Also if you were to produce some tutorial series for purchase that went even further in depth, I feel like it might perform really well!

    @maxwhitworth9178 4 роки тому

    I'm not in sound design, but I always find it's the most satisfying part of film in the end, when things sound crisp and visceral. The fact that you're making a channel that is essentially Art Attack or Bob Ross for soundies makes me really happy, and I wish more elements of film (or video games or whatever) had channels to showcase what can be done with a bit of thought that are as friendly and inviting as this one!

    Great character, good guide, easy-to-understand visuals and explanation, and a wonderful goal of de-mystifying the art of sound design. It makes the task seem less impossible and more attainable. Good video, sharing with my music production teacher.

    I was always super annoyed because when searching laser gun sound fx there was never any good ones like they were all pretty bad but By pitch shifting reverb and things you brought up here I was able to make some pretty solid sound lazer gun sound effects to fit my perpouse Thank you so much! Have a like!

  • @Mellonote
    @Mellonote 7 років тому +156

    I feel like you're missing out a lot when you're not talking about how you use the EQ/chorus/verb/delays ect, as that the part you spend the most time with. At least from a beginner's standpoint (which I'm not btw) it seems you basically saying "Just pick up a guitar, learn some chords and bam!" when in reality there's a lot more finesse that goes into then just what you said.

    • @trashcompactorYT
      @trashcompactorYT 7 років тому +29

      Well not a lot of people understand the layout of FL Studio or Ableton. I think this video is more for entertainment than anything. If he was going to show what he did I think he'd probably do a full tutorial :P

    • @Milesamanjaro
      @Milesamanjaro 7 років тому +9

      Mellonote Just like the post above noted, this wasn't an instructional video as much as a means to show what can be done with minimal equipment. The best way to learn is experience itself, not regurgitating one way how an individual does it. D/L some trial software and play around. :)

    • @minimanson160
      @minimanson160 6 років тому +6

      I feel like this video is just like a stepping stone ya know, like he aint teaching you how to do it as people who are interested in this kind of thing will/should have knowladge with software and audio equipment, I think this is more of a video to encourage the people who are super interested in doing stuff like this but dont have all the whistles and bells (i.e the fancy equipment) and that the people who are discouraged should not be like that so they can get out there and experiment. therea are plenty of videos explaining what EQ/chorus/verb/delays are. (these are all super basic elements of any DAW)

    • @joooooooooooe
      @joooooooooooe 4 роки тому +1

      I enjoy not knowing. It gives me a challenge to figure out. Like with some hints how do I go from sound A to sound B. BUT I would like to know what chorus plugin he used on the air conditioner (or if he stacked the ableton chorus)
