Let me know if you would be interested in a sound design tutorial series where I go more in depth about these Max patches!
I'll recreate them in Pure Data for the tutorials too.
Edit (September 2023): First video in the series is out now!

[@barnabastoth6230]

je i want to know all of it

[@SoundSimulator]

@@barnabastoth6230 The plan is to start with these 6 scenes!

[@Tonestrom]

I think this would be super awesome!

[@SoundSimulator]

@@Tonestrom Good to hear! Thanks!!

[@_rkrd]

Sound Design is a topic which lacks well made resources. I'd even pay for it if done in Max/MSP.

[@mastershaff]

Woah, it's crazy to think that this is all just synthesis and digital effects, no samples. Really inspiring! I'm really looking forward for the tutorials!

[@SoundSimulator]

I hope to start making the tutorials soon! Thanks!!

[@peppoz88]

I feel like my learning curve is getting higher and higher since I follow your channel.
Great job as always, my friend. Can't wait for the pure data tutorial!

[@almari3954]

The scream one! I'm struggling with such a thing for ages now !

[@SoundSimulator]

Yeaaaah, that one took a while to get right, but I'm really happy with the result. Definitely deserve a video of its own!!

[@DommoDommo]

LOVE this, keep going!

[@damondahl4597]

[@SoundSimulator]

Thank you for the kind words!!

[@ersatz_ben]

amazing work!

[@SoundSimulator]

Thank you!!

[@seedmole]

Very cool! Good showcase of how useful visual programming methods are in game design.

[@SoundSimulator]

Thank you!! Yeah, I found it useful for creating very specific sound designs. And it's suited for creating variations of a sound (e.g. every laser sound is different).

[@marcinmsobczak]

Would be awesome to get such tutorials man! Thanks!

[@SoundSimulator]

Great!! Thanks for your interest!!

[@re_lre_l]

this squeal breaked my femur, be careful in next time when working with Max!

Thank you so much for the kind word and support! I hope you find the upcoming tutorial series helpful!

[@dude837]

um wait this is extremely sick

[@SoundSimulator]

Hey Sam!! Thank you so much for the kind words!
I learned a lot from your tutorials ever since I started using Max. I referenced your kick drum synthesis video for all the thud sounds in this reel for example.

[@kiwisan32]

Great work🌃🌃

[@SoundSimulator]

THANKS

[@brayanosirismunozjuarez5330]

Sounds great! It'll be amazing

That's Big !

Indeed 🙏

[@hugh._]

COOL

[@SoundSimulator]

THANKS!

[@konsumentptakow]

wow

[@ivanfaigenbom5300]

Wow! That sounds so cool! Loving this channel and all the valuable tutorials that you give to us. Thanks :D
Question: did this tutorials can work with PD or MaxMSP has unique features that left PD behind?

[@SoundSimulator]

I referenced a Pure Data sound design book a lot when I made this sound design tool actually! I'll be including both Max and Pure Data in the sound design tutorial series!

[@ivanfaigenbom5300]

@@SoundSimulator amazing! Can't wait :D Thank you so much

[@jccompean]

Loving this bro! Waiting for the tuts.
Quick question: What's the sound design book you used for reference? Or any related books u think are good for a beginner

[@SoundSimulator]

Designing Sound by Andy Farnell is a book that I heavily referenced when I made this reel. It uses Pure Data.

[@jccompean]

@@SoundSimulator Thank you! Will be looking forward for the series 🫶

[@TR-707]

i hope you get into RNBO too

[@SoundSimulator]

Yeah! I have been meaning to get it. It looks awesome.

[@KnightMirkoYo]

Are all of these possible in pd with the same effort, or is Max more "advanced"? Have you tried implementing pd in games already?

[@SoundSimulator]

I'm planning on doing both!!

[@KnightMirkoYo]

@@SoundSimulator awesome, I’m looking forward to it 🔥

[@RyleMc]
