Yeah, the Needler (gun with spikes out of the top) slows down as you you near the end of the clip. Luckily in Reaper you can use sub projects which then render into the main project, so if you slow it down in the sub project it doesn't effect the main project. I did have to do a bit of guess...

Thanks. A couple guns use the exact same sample but most are varied in some way. One thing you can try is to vary the sound of some of the layers, but keep the obvious sounds the same or extremely close.

In this case it's just a few video clips pulled from awesome Halo players on YouTube and arranged into a linear montage. There are very few developers that make their games or game engines available for you to dig into and see what they're doing, especially for very popular and lucrative...

Most of the time I attempted to imitate the original weapons. It's mainly experimenting with layering real world weapons with synthetic sounds and other sound design.

I've been using Handbrake to convert to mp4. If you use HB, make sure to set the bit depth in the audio tab to the highest setting, otherwise there might be artifacts.

I've been working on redesigning some of my favorite Halo weapons in a multiplayer style montage. https://lnkd.in/g_djeRz

UI (user interface) sounds are very doable in Serum, but not so much the granular effects.

Thanks! I mostly made everything here in Absynth. The granular stuff is mainly processing samples through the Aetherizer and the UI stuff is really just a lot of experimentation. There really is no technique for UI sounds other than trial and error, and knowing the synth reasonably well.

100 of my UI and Granular effects available for free or by donation. See description for link to download.

Thanks man!

I'm wondering, as you can round robin between groups, if it's possible to rotate through a number of samples within a group? This would be for sound design purposes where each group would have variations of the same sound mapped to one key, and then next group having multiple versions of another...

Nice!

I've been planning to make a custom one, as I plan to release better quality libraries in the future. I just have been putting it off for other things (good excuse, I know!) I hope to have something soon!

Could you clarify this? Are you saying that something like a short burst of sound is a lot cleaner and consistent to send into the side-chain vs a trailer hit? For example, the actually transient of the hit only happens for a short period of time and so you can adjust your noise or whatever...

Yup, knock yourself out!

Recorded a ton of whooshes in my garage and with some aggressive processing turned them into various weapon swings (axes, swords, spears, etc.). You can find and download the audio files under the freebies section. https://sonorityscape.com/#freebies

Hey, I've been having some issues with my SWR3 calibration for my monitors. It's odd because it's worked every time until now. The problem is that it's not recognizing the mic input signal even though it's producing sound through my monitors and in Reaper I use the same input to record sound...

Oops, I messed up. Trying to figure out how to delete it... Edit: If it's possible to move to the 'Your DAW' thread that would be great.

Hi all! I wanted to share a script with you that I made in Reaper. I was thinking of ways to work on my EQing, but wasn't satisfied with anything on the web, so I came up with my own. It's very customizable from very easy all the way to very hard. Check out the video and download here.

Hi Everyone! I've been working on some sounds for a library with PulseSetter Sounds. Here's a taste of one of them...

I think they key is to sound unique, make sure your audio material relates well to the visual and have a good mix. If you nail that, it doesn't matter how you get there. You can process and layer sound libraries in unique and interesting ways and no one will notice. If you drag and drop, people...

By ear. I wonder if the original sheet music is available - would like to compare.

Yeah, and another thing is the level. Mines just a few db louder so it's also having an effect if you AB at the same level on your monitoring system

I think I also heard it as you did. To me when I AB'd between the two (which I did a lot) the original sounded a little more mellow, and even more dull in some areas (as you mentioned) which I didn't really like so much. One of the problems is balancing the string section so nothing stands out...

It's a combination of Shevannai, a patch from Omnisphere 2 and Lacrimosa. The Shevannai and Omnisphere 2 helped with the up front sound.

Thanks all! I did a combination of a lot of your suggestions. Here's the final result of the midi mockup

Cool!

I'm looking to control a plugin with another plugin. For example, I have parallel receives, one wet and one dry, and I want to put a compressor on both, but have any parameter changes on one being effected by the other. Like a master-slave sort of thing. Is this possible in Reaper?

I love how close The Mountain King Sounds to the mic.

Hi! I'm working with some vst choirs and a lot of them have the big room sound in which they were recorded. I'm interested in getting them to sound as close to the front of the mix as possible. See this at 0:55 It seems to me there is kind of a mix in depth between the different voices, but...

I'm so confused about how many sound design and trailer music courses and updates there are. I enrolled in the ATMC course about a year ago. Is it being said that the free update to this course is still happening and there will be additionally one module from the trailer sound design course...

Thanks for sending that. It's not the same tone and sounds similar to what I'm getting. The closest thing so far has been using metallic sounds like chimes as samples but still not exactly what I want. I'm thinking it's more a sample based sound because I've tried several synths and they don't...

I'm struggling to recreate a certain type of sound that I've heard across multiple different UI SFX libraries. It's a high-pitched metallic type sound that has a lot fuller tone compared to digital waves in that same register (at least the ones I've experimented with). For examples of the sound...

Thanks!

I only have one option which is MJPEG.

I can't render out MP4 in Reaper. It comes out as MOV and looks terrible.

There's an option for lossless quality in Handbrake. It seemed that the picture didn't lose any quality until the YouTube encoding made it darker.

I've done Reaper rendered out Huffyuv and then converted it in Handbrake to Mp4 and the quality is good. If you render out 30fps in Reaper can you convert back to 60fps?

Do you normally render your final video format out of your DAW? I know specifically in Reaper that the quality is not as good as the original when it comes out and I'm looking for an alternative so the video quality is not degraded.

This one is all in NI Massive:

Thanks, you just saved me 2 x ∞ seconds.

Hi, does anyone know if there is a faster way to get an envelope from a parameter in Reaper? Like a one click to envelope sort of thing instead of having go into the trim section every time and find the correct check box.

To clarify, are you modulating the pitch or the amplitude slightly at 60hz?

Was just looking in Wwise and they have the Futz Box built right into it.

Does anyone know how they get these sounds into games or movies? Is it perhaps a certain impulse response, filter or distortion? Maybe they just use output from actual radios.. I'm talking about something like at 1:43

Thank you all for your advice!

For anyone with experience in this, is there a certain way you submit your stems? The publisher has asked me to submit my stems for my tracks and it's my first time. Although, I have an idea on what to do, I want to get it right the first time. Most of my tracks are heavy sound design with a...

If anyone is into game audio, I've created a video on how I made a sci-fi rocket launcher when I was working on the FPS demo in Unreal Engine 4:

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I didn't think binaural audio was meant to make headphone monitoring sound more like speakers. It's not really the surround sound in a theatrical sense that I want, but rather the effects, filtering, spatialization or what have you that are caused by the shape and...

Hi! Does anyone have any suggestions or plugins for simulating binaural audio inside a DAW? I've seen some features in DAWs like Logic, but I'm not sure if Reaper has it.

I've been really focused towards having a career in game audio and there tends to be more opportunities compared to composer jobs. I used to only want to compose, but now I'm in love with the amount of different things you can do in game audio. Right now I try to keep all expenses as low as...

Hey, I'm curious how do you 'shorten the samples' if it all comes from one audio file? Or what do you mean by that?

Does anyone know how the sound at 1:02 is made? I was trying some FM movement with a sine wave on saw wave, but the sound wasn't really the same thing. Also at 0:55 is a really cool attack on what sounds like the same sound.

I'm having a problem with automating the reverb sends. I'd like to cut off the reverb send instantly along with the actually volume so that there is no tail in the sound. The problem is that when I try to cut the reverb send off on the individual track level it doesn't work for reasons I don't...

Glitchy and screamy

Slowing down the recording really helps to discern each note from the whole. Also, having a good understanding of harmony helps to make educated guesses.

When I go to freeze a track in Reaper and then resample it in Omnisphere 2, I get the message "convert file to a basic WAV-PCM format. If I render the file out in Reaper however I don't have this problem. Is there a way to change the quality of the track when freezing in Reaper so that it can...

He just got married. He needs to have honeymoon time for a bit first.

I accidentally started playing them both at the same time and it sounded awesome!

Thanks! Yeah, the Fishing Planet trailer is where I first heard it. I love paradoxes like that, when people break the rules - it's comedic and rebellious!

I have no guitar nor guitar skills, so no I'm not covered for that! I'm thinking VSTs are the way to go for me. I'd love to learn guitar sometime down the road though.

I'm not a guitar player at all but I'm really interested in learning to create the dark heavy metal guitar sound in music like I've linked below. Do these sounds come form guitars being performed through FX pedals or could this possibly be achieved through an available vst itself + something...

III is pretty badass for trailer stuff.

There's a lot of granular type stuff going on in this trailer like at 0:48 which is just awesome! Would this be a sound particle thing? I think I could make something similar in a synth, but some of the sounds are just so smooth.

I've recently discovered that people will do 2 stages of mastering where they will have mastering on the on the mixbuss (which If I'm correct, is the final output for all tracks) and then will do mastering on the printed track. Is this something that people often do? I've tried to do my...

I just realized FF Pro - L has that and I've never used it. I'll mostly use a looked ahead if I'm side-chaining something and I want it to get out of the way quickly.

Wow a year!? Yeah, I've learned soo much about low end since I've made this post. And my mixes are constantly getting better and louder as well. A lot of my EQing now simply consists of cutting the low end where it is not needed. One of the things I still find difficult is crafting really nice...

FPS zoom in/scope in sound design in Massive:

Pads are great, but like bass players, they shouldn't get too much love.

Create a synth guitar riff in Massive:

At 0:47 when the first verse comes in there's this really cool distorted and punchy tom, hat or whatever it is that I'm trying to figure out on a track by Mick Gordon. I'm really curious to know how he got that sound, along with a million others, but for that one in particular it's hard to...

I just found the fix. I disabled the MIDI in Pro C 2 and it worked. It's so bizarre though because as I mentioned previously, there were no problems when I used Massive.

Not only does this happen with Omni 2, but it happens with almost every synth I own except for Massive. I tried other compressors and side chaining is no problem, but when it comes to doing external side chaining in Pro C 2 on synths, for some reason both the side chain and the aux signal both...

Yes, it's very flexible and you can set up loop points, transitions, etc. however you like using logic. Check out FMOD.

What works for me is to copy and paste the track 2 times, so you have 3 different instances. Then you can just render the middle one which will start with the reverb tail from before. Or course you still have to make sure there is a smooth transition. You can also use audio middleware like FMOD...

Thanks, it looks like the sub projects will work nicely.

I'm wondering if there is a way to freeze multiple tracks into one track making all of them disappear except for the one. This is mainly for organizational purposes and to speed of workflow, so that If I like the way I've layered something, I don't have to work with all the individual tracks and...

Hey man, some really nice stuff in your Haunted farm pack. Thanks for that! You should definitely put a price on that.

Yeah, that's a good point. I would love to work on good equipment too!

Wow... you just made me realize how common that is in games today and how generic and boring it now sounds. I'm definitely going to archive this thread and use what you've said as insight in the future. Cheers!

I think the thing you have to do is weigh the trade off of the financial burden verse making connections at university. I was kind of in your position a couple of years ago. I moved from Calgary to Toronto to study at U of T. I had studied at Mount Royal for my first 2 years. Maybe you should...

Yes! It really surprised me how impactful the breathing at the end was until I actually listened to it. I don't know if this is true for others, but often times I just add these sorts of things thinking "hmm, maybe this will be cool...", and then later realize what kind of depth it actually has...

Thank you! I really love hard hitting stuff too, and I was debating on whether that is what they want to hear on the other end. Due to my lack of experience I don't know what the common practice would be (I guess I should go and do some listening). I'm going to go ahead and assume that the over...

A Game dev studio asked to send in a short sound design demo. Could I get some game audio pros or sound designers to critique my stuff? no music: with music:

Damn... The first thing I heard was Michael Brecker.

30 second TV Spot:

It seems that using sidechain compression externally on an Omnisphere 2 instance track (with a compressor instantiated after it) doesn't work like it does with other instruments. Has anyone experienced this? It doesn't work both ways, as a control signal or as the signal being controlled. I have...

Thanks! I'll check it out.

For point 2 the best way I've found so far is to use SWS/BR: Copy selected points in selected envelopes to all visible envelopes in selected tracks. I'm still looking to find if there is a way to open multiple envelopes on multiple tracks in one click(other than vol or pan), but haven't found...

This thread helped with point 1 https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=160045

I'm trying to speed up my workflow in Reaper. I'm looking to do 2 things: 1. How can I go about creating a macro in Reaper to open a specific FX chain on a selected track? In this case I just want to be able to have a shortcut to quickly open up an EQ when I need it. 2. Yesterday, I had many...

I started to notice it a couple weeks ago after I was working with headphones. I was trying to make high-pitch scraping sounds and definitely had a headache after that. I think it as a couple days after that when I went to sleep the ringing in my ears was more noticeable. Yesterday I was working...

I think in the past month my ears have started to noticeably ring. I've been working with a lot of synth stuff which sometimes has a lot of high frequency noise. Any suggestions for ear protection? I put a low-pass filter on the master bus today which is easier on the ears, but then it always...

I'm going for a higher average level. Why can't I do this with a limiter on single tracks?

For hybrid sounds it helps make them louder and thicker. Whenever I open up hybrid samples (whooshes, hits, risers, etc.) that's the trend I see.

I've noticed many who make their samples available do quite some heavy limiting and I was looking to do the same thing. I like the loud sounding samples.

My problem is that when I do selected tracks they don't render through the master bus which is where I have the limiter. Since the level varies for each file, I need to make changes to the limiter on the master track before rendering the next file. I have no problem rendering each file through...

Currently I'm trying to figure out a better method for rending samples in Reaper. Right now my current workflow is to solo a track and render it through the master bus. However with this method I can't use track wild cards, so I have to go in and manually name each track. Does anyone know if...

Hey all, here's a dark, hybrid sounding arp created in Massive. The bottom 4 macros can be confusing, but they allow you to cross-fade between a short decay and a reverse effect. Thanks!

Would these plugins take Hans Zimmers' productions to a whole new dimension?
