I watched the Nerdwriter video right before I watched yours. I was unsatisfied, so I scrolled down. Yours was what I was looking for. IMO you're the far superior UA-camr.
This video is amazing, i'm working with this, and I was looking for references to create magic spells sound effects. I just loved it, helped me alot!!! Thank you so much
I'm honestly surprised by how few subs this channel has. This is quality content and I'm loving it despite having nothing to do with sound design in my hobbies/job/school/etc.
Wish they also worked on the flutey sounds, as the one he showcased when Snape forced the windows shut at 1:42. To me those are the most mystical and characteristic. Great video nonetheless, extremely so
I am loving not only the subject matter but how you are so self aware of your editing style. Every video gets better but the comical editing in this one was perfect. Made this 12 minute video feel no longer the 5 at most! Incredible job and adore the idea of challenges with the same source material. Fantastic work!!
you all prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Ahmad Kasen I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ahmad Kasen DAMN IT ACTUALLY WORKED :O Just got access to my IG account details within ~ 30 mins by using the site. Had to pay 15$ but definitely worth it :O Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
when I thought about the fire spell, I imagined the end of yours and the beginning of Akash's, so together both of yours actually sounded like what I was thinking initially
Discovered this channel today, already loving it! Amazing to see your thought process and learn from it for my own work. I've been struggling to create an ambient "twinkle" sound, something that would make you imagine being in a crystal cave. Do you have any advice? :)
Maybe buy a couple cheap drinking glasses, shatter them, and then drop them into some kind of metal bowl, then record that and pitch it up and add a bunch of reverb?
This was really cool! It definitely does seem like with spells you can get super creative. I love the fact that it was a little challenge with Akash. I hear some of the similarities in the sounds, but overall they are all unique. Sooo many layers...who would have known.
Excellent video. Hilarious and informative. Thank you so much for putting this together. Can't wait to check out the rest of the videos on your channel.
3:29 I know that you were genuinely shocked with the answer and that you really believed that the video was over and so you pressed the full-screen button to see if the video really ended. How do I know that, because the Moon told me so. So, the next time the Moon tells you something, believe it.
i havent heard of nerd writer. im here because your editing is clever and your audio is relaxing to me. its like asmr . the tone, clarity and calmness in the voice.
I really loved how you made the intro to this video! The sounds were just right and not cheesy at all, it's like it just works. Reminds me of Julian Slater's work in Baby Driver.
I like how you and akash took opposite approaches to the second spell, and I myself would have gone more towards his. You focused on tension building up to then have a big impact on the block, while akash gave the spell itself more power to then have it blocked with a sense of ease.
To use your analogy, some of us are still cooking over campfires(audacity). It would be helpful to know what types of pots(newfangled doodads) yall would use.
There's an important distinction between you and Nerdwriter. You are an industry professional and are actually working on and creating your craft. Nerdwriter is a critic who bloats his video essays with unnecessary jargon that could have been conveyed more briefly and easily. Tony Zhou's Everyframeapainting is an excellent example of how video essays should be done. Your channel is smaller than Nerdwriter's but I hold it in a higher regard, IMO.
Yeah I agree, I was never a fan of Nerwriters style. His videos centre around a subject that could be fully explored in 2-3 minutes but instead he quadruples that with unecessary detail and anecdotes that don't add much. It wouldn't be as bad if it didn't make the whole essay lose cohesion, the often suffer from the common "video essay" problem of not having a clear "point" they're trying to get across, turning into a kind of video shaggy dog story.
Nerdwriter gets to levels so pretentious and 'spiritual' (with his long pauses and supposedly grand revelations) sometimes that his stuff feels basically like souped up weedtalk
A lot of good insight here. Part of the ‘magic’ of sound design is that the audience ends up only perceiving the finished product as a whole without really considering the parts that go into a sound. Good stuff
2:32 I loved my red pan back at Anderson, I made a lot of turkey paninis on that bad Larry. That's the only part of this video that I could relate to. I've never seen Harry Potter and I don't know shit about sound design
Great video. Neither of your designs sounded quite like what I was imagining in my head but they were equally convincing. And, just for the record, Evan Puschak's voice is good. I prefer yours.
Didnt watch more than the first minute and have to say ... who cares about nerdwriter? You only have 30k subs but your the best channels Im subbed to :)
Brilliantly done. In an online community flush with tutorials about just about anything, sound design is still something that hasn't been taught much. It's great that you're doing these.
I have to honestly say you are by far the smallest youtuber that's on my list of creators I get genuinely exited about, and drop everything else when they release a new video. Like SmarterEveryDay, Wintergatan, kurgesagt, nerdwriter, CaptainDisillusion and Co. are on that list. Love your channel ❤
@Kore VFX Naw, Akash has a better fire spell sound effect. The apparition sound effect was a tough call but I have to agree with you, Marshall's was better.
He uses ableton live by the way. I had an audio friend look at some of the clips and tell me because I didn’t know what software to use to get into it more and at the time I used audacity. Bought it myself and can confirm it is ableton
This is by far the most deserved, and valuable subscription I've ever used. I enjoy your videos to the point where I think about them all day. You're one talented sound-designer, and content creator, and I really do appreciate you sharing that with us. Thank you! I do hope you'll do a waveform episode on Apex Legends, as there are some supercool & interesting sound designs in there. My favorite one is the sound of Pathfinder using a beacon to reveal the next circle. It reminds me of the sonic boom you covered from Battlefront, but with less low end!
ask yourself what their characteristics are. how do they look like. are their voice cords/body rotten yet and how far (that will determine if they do those blargh and gurgle sounds) do they growl or scream? i personally would assume they either are in pain or they are twitchy and animalic. decide for a story that is plausible and then stick to the implications that this story has on your sound design. i am no sound designer but i think that would be my creative philosophy on sounds for zombies specifically.
if you use growls and gurgles, pitch shift and bass boost them to sound more evil and haunting. if its screams they will probably be raspy (bit crushing or something else) if their bodies are very rotten and slimey, you will need splashy sounds or some goo like material.
@@FirebladeXXL Well, my zombies are like the ones from "Return of the Living Dead", except my zombies mutate varying from the zone or even a disesse they had when they were normal, if a zombie doesn't have a mouth or something to expand the virus they convert into a Bomb Zombie, if a zombie had stomach problems when it was human it transform into Spitter, so i want to make a large variety of zounds :) Also, thanks for the advice.
How do we know you didn't just record yourself casting the spells instead of making the sounds like the movies then, huh? I guess I wouldn't be surprised if you were secretly a wizard.
Hi there, just discovered your channel and it's awesome, thanks for the great content. I've got a question, but keep in mind that I'm not a 3D artist nor a sound designer, just a curious guy on the internet. When 3D artists need to do compositing to integrate some 3D model in live video footage for example, I often see them recreating part of the scene in 3D for things like rotoscopy, camera tracking or to have convincing reflections and collisions (basically simulation purposes). Does this kind of stuff happens for sound design sometimes too ? For example at 8:31, would it happen for a sound designer here to recreate the room in 3D to do a sound physics simulation with crowds of student absorbing sound and stone walls reflecting it ? Or is it too much time consuming and adding a bit of reverb is always as convincing and takes way less time ?
This is done in the world of sound design, yes. It is known as 'Worldizing', a term coined by Walter Murch who is often regarded as one of the fathers of sound design (The Godfather films, Apocalypse Now etc). Basically, you record audio and then play it back on a high-quality sound system in an environment that projects the characteristics you want the sound to take on and record that audio with another mic. A brilliant example of this is the Cave Troll in The Lord Of The Rings. David Farmer, the sound designer, took the audio he put together for the troll to some kind of underground system that had walls akin to the Mines of Moria and did what I explained above. You can find footage of it here on youtube in the Lord Of The Rings Appendices! Jack Fuller
@@H1jAcK360 Nice ! Thanks for the answer. Somehow I thought about 3D modelling an environnement and doing a simulation to be the way to go but going in a real environnement and playing back the sound to record it again seems much more convenient and less time consuming in a lot of cases.
I was unaware of what Jack explained, but I think the closest most designers and producers come to what you’re describing would be Impulse Responses. It’s not nearly as technical. You record a sine wave in a space so that you can capture how the environment effects the sound, and then you can apply that impulse response to your audio. I have seen a few interviews where sound designers complain about not having technical methods like you were explaining, though, and that they wish they did. We are able to synthesize sounds from scratch at least, that’s pretty complicated
how do you feel about your work on Just Cause 4? are there things your proud of, are there things your unhappy about, do you have a fun memory about working on the game?
Awesome as usual Marshall! You have to do a "contest" like this one with akash, but with us, your subscribers. The winner gets a free class with you hahaha. Greets from Argentina
I know nothing about sound design, but I think both of the fire sound effects you guys made would suit a quick, fast flying bolt of flame more. The flame Mcgonagall shoots is a thick glob of and I think a deep, bassy fire sound that suddenly gets cut off by something really high pitched for the block that uses those firework sizzles more clearly would be more striking. To me, Akash's sound effect sounds more like one continuous spell. Snape's block is a skillful counter, and having a deep, imposing fire sound turned to fizzles would be really cool and sell that idea more. Also nerdwriter sucks and is made for people that know nothing about sound design like me
This was such a great video and you've hit on all of the major points when it comes to approaching the design of magic. The show (Amazon's Lost In Oz) in which I won my Emmy for Outstanding Sound Editing - there's a TON of magic that I had to create from scratch and it was an absolute blast! :)
Ah, it sucks being outrun by other content creators here on youtube, I know that too well :D Anyway, the video is super spicy and I love how different your results sound!
Hi Marshall, glad I ran into one of your old videos and this was so much fun to watch and learn from!! I don't know if this question is kinda too late to ask since it's been 5 years. A noob question on effects, since you have all let's say 7 layers of fire to create that texture, how do you automate the plugins on all of them? For me, I would be routing all them into a "Fire_Bus" Aux and automate things from there. Is this the way you do it or is there any easier or better way to do this? Again thank you for the amazing video!!
Funny thing is...for the Voldemort-appearing-sound-thingy I kinda imagined something in between yours and Akash's Now I just wanted to say that I extremely enjoy your videos as they are fun and educational Keep it up Greets.
I was actually far more interested in this video because of the nerd writer video. I think your videos have a unique take meaning that instead of competing you guys build off each other.
Bro this video cracked me up. I love your work. Been subbed for like a year and gonna def reference these over the years. Thanks for your channel and keep it up!
One thing that was not particularly mentioned in the video is the importance of adding the "character" or "emotion" to the spell. So that the audience can close their eyes and know what spell has been cast because there is this unique element to it. "Yep that was Ava Kedavra". And that would be the pinnacle of sound design. After "making it work".
I could say, this video help a lot ! It gives me a very clear way to start my design! Thank you very much for making a fantastic video and please keep making more new video!
I watched the Nerdwriter video right before I watched yours. I was unsatisfied, so I scrolled down. Yours was what I was looking for. IMO you're the far superior UA-camr.
Came for a tutorial and ended with a tutorial and a comedic sketch. Nice video!
your channel is way better! don't lose your own vibe!
Your video quality is soooooooooooooooooooo good..
I just discoverd you today. Watched a couple of videos and instantly subbed the hell out of that button! You are doing some amazing content!!
Same here!
I really want the prosoundeffects library so I think I will become a sound design UA-camr. That seems like the most logical approach.
This video is amazing, i'm working with this, and I was looking for references to create magic spells sound effects. I just loved it, helped me alot!!! Thank you so much
3:30, love your vids!
I'm honestly surprised by how few subs this channel has. This is quality content and I'm loving it despite having nothing to do with sound design in my hobbies/job/school/etc.
So glad you're back
Oh hey it’s Akash! Small world...
Please include the Seinfeld bass as a meme in one of your videos
Wish they also worked on the flutey sounds, as the one he showcased when Snape forced the windows shut at 1:42. To me those are the most mystical and characteristic.
Great video nonetheless, extremely so

round 2 goes to you. i love the space you created in the sound aswell as the satifying block. overall sounds powerful and cinematic.
Awesome video, make more !
Love it mate!
Fuckin love your channel man, been binge watching and am almost finishing all the videos! NEED MORE CONTENT BRO
Here before this channel blows up
when I thought about the fire spell, I imagined the end of yours and the beginning of Akash's, so together both of yours actually sounded like what I was thinking initially
HAHAHA I really thought it was the end. Nice one!
I’d like another one of these videos for Harry Potter sounds
I've been designing a lot of magic sounds lately, so your timing is super serendipitous. Thanks!
Stumbled on your channel randomly. Will be binging hard
Good vid, informative and entertaining. I wonder how long it took you both to create those sounds?
About 2 hours for me not sure about akash.
@@MarshallMcGee Thanks for the reply. I'm looking for a better sense of when it is best to stop working on a sound.
Whenever you played it silently, all I could hear were the actual sounds from the movie because they’re so ingrained in me
Discovered this channel today, already loving it! Amazing to see your thought process and learn from it for my own work. I've been struggling to create an ambient "twinkle" sound, something that would make you imagine being in a crystal cave. Do you have any advice? :)

Awesome. I've been looking for a channel like this for forever.
Love you, Marshall!
This was legit, Akash sent me here :)
Thank you for this video! Thanks for your time and your work :)
Just stumbled randomly into this youtube channel. Killin' the game Marshall!
You and nerdwriter are equally good for creating interesting content.
you are so sick, I watch everything you make
My friend only knew a few basic spells, so I had to fix it in post
The water spell that Dumbledore does in his fight with Voldemort is the best sounding one in all the movies in my opinion. Sounds so... Magical.
Excellent video. Hilarious and informative. Thank you so much for putting this together. Can't wait to check out the rest of the videos on your channel.
That internet connection was incredible! :) Fantastic video.
Your videos saved my Senior thesis (UA-cam Upload tommorrow morning at 7 AM est for anybody interested) so thanks a lot, man.
Really nice video, I found it very interesting and quite fun to compare the process' and results. Thanks.
Next up, you should break down and make your own sample of the PlayStation 2 boot up sound effect!
3:29
I know that you were genuinely shocked with the answer and that you really believed that the video was over and so you pressed the full-screen button to see if the video really ended.
How do I know that, because the Moon told me so.
So, the next time the Moon tells you something, believe it.

Happy that Pro sound effects reached out to you. I love their blogs. Always learning amazing things from them

I like how you and akash took opposite approaches to the second spell, and I myself would have gone more towards his.

Make a how sailor moon sound effects were made pleeeease
Why don't you make any more videoooos?? 🥺
Which Izotope program is Akash talking about at 10:57?
Better than fucking Nerdwriter
Super informative and love your humor man! I don't get nearly enough sound design education at my school so I love finding content like this
Akash sent me here but I've been following you for a while now. Great to see my two favorite SD are working together.
I prefer Marshall's apparition, Akash's cast (fireball), and Marshall's block.

That's why I love this Chanel, because you explain how you make the sound effects with random sounds. I love following the magic while you create it

Geddit? Because it's a channel that focuses on sound mixing and editing? (I'll show myself out...)
Wintergatan! Yes!
Same for me
For comparison:
Marshall's apparition - 6:30
Akash's apparition - 8:15
Marshall's fire spell - 9:30
Akash's fire spell - 11:12
@Kore VFX Naw, Akash has a better fire spell sound effect. The apparition sound effect was a tough call but I have to agree with you, Marshall's was better.
Marshall's sounds more indie, and Akash's more AAA..
@@chocov1233 How was Akash's fire better? There was zero distinguishing from casting and blocking it

I’d like to see how the golden snitch sounded in all its sounds as well as fawkes. Plus, what about the stuff in the Fantastic Beasts movies?
вы лучшие!)
Can someone give me tips with making "once-human" monster sounds, like mutant zombies such as a Volatile from Dying Light?
ask yourself what their characteristics are. how do they look like. are their voice cords/body rotten yet and how far (that will determine if they do those blargh and gurgle sounds) do they growl or scream? i personally would assume they either are in pain or they are twitchy and animalic. decide for a story that is plausible and then stick to the implications that this story has on your sound design.
