      You should make a discord server, for people who like sound design. Its probably the best way to build a community right now.

    One of the few channels I have the bell enabled for. All your uploads are amazing and entertaining! Your channel has also made me consider pursuing sound engineering as a career

    Sound design is one of the most important parts of a video game, film or tv show. For me hearing sounds is what hits that nostalgia button in my brain when I go back to something old and what makes me feel immersed in different worlds.

    "Restriction breeds creativity" is one of the most relatable quotes to a game sound designer... but for real, the whale TIE flyby might have been better than the original. Fite me.

    • @poor_old_goat

      Also, specifically regarding the "simple sounds" segment... it wasn't just the LFE that gave the force so much impact. Everything else died the second the force was used, and it slowly faded back in as the impact wore off. Brilliant execution, completely dismissed by Burtt.

      I was thinking the same thing about the whale flyby.

    • @TMtheScratcher

      for me the whale fly by would fit much better to a bigger space ship. The bird fly by on the otherhand would perfectly fit for some very small drone or something like that

      TM_ the whale flyby is definitely a meaty sound, and that’s why it doesn’t fit for the TIE’s- they are supposed to sound fast and dangerous, not slow and imposing. Also, of course, they were inspired by the Stuka Scream, which produces a fast and terrifying diving sound

    I'm a bit late to the party, but the point about using animal sounds in films/games reminded me of a cheesy moment from another game published by EA: The Saboteur. In one of the earlier cutscenes The Big Bad Guy is torturing the protagonist and his friend(?), and after monologuing for a minute or two he shoots the other guy to the raging screams of the main character. And then you see this extreme close up of the Bad Guy's face, all smiling and enjoying his evilness, with a goddamn tiger/lion/panther-like roar in the background. It was such a cheap yet effective (albeit not particularly well done) way to show a character dominance 🤭

    A few days ago I saw starwars ix and there is a part in the movie where Palpatine makes a lightning strike and the sound of that part, my god.. made my end it up in here. Can you explain that sound design? I'm from Argentina sorry for the grammar.

    On top of sound design you need to think of the amazing foley team that records most of those room sounds. Especially with the Star Wars franchise. Skywalker sound has an amazing team and the current sound design supervisor for IX (Dave Acord) has been with the star wars franchise almost nonstop for 20 years, from games to TV to the Movies. I had the pleasure to speak with him while I was still in School, and he mentioned one of his favorite parts about working at Skywalker was the way that it works almost as a think tank for the creativity of the artists employed there; and the way that everyone there is a fan of sound in general. How everyone just wants to push one another to find new ideas all the way from Ben Burtt down to the visiting directors working on their festival piece.

    The sound that plays after the holdo maneuver is one of the greatest designs I’ve ever heard

  • @SeanofAllTrades

    I'm 20 seconds into the video, but my answer for the most iconic sound is the seismic charges from Episode 2.

    • @influencer20XX
      @influencer20XX 4 роки тому

      He added the room noise and then probably a compressor on the footsteps to make them jump out over the background noise

    you're amazing!
    (may have spoiler) in the new starwars film, the sound designer use a old and eficient technique. He put a little moment of total silence before palpatine realease the lightinings on the ships! that contrast cause a much more powerfull sound!!
