My hope is that by focusing on each potential process one at a time, you can build up a repertoire of techniques and tools to mix and match however you want, and create a methodology and some workflows that work best for you and your own style.
In this new series of posts on sound design, we’ll break down 10 broad techniques or processing steps that you can think about when approaching your sonic sculpting in any kind of sound design project, with plenty of tips and suggested plugins to try them out with along the way. In fact, once you get your head around these few key processing options, and even more importantly, how they can be stacked or chained together in different combinations, you can leverage them with a bit of practice to achieve literally any sound you might be able to imagine. This shouldn’t be felt as a constraint, though. Whether you are designing huge cinematic impacts, weird and unique layered drums kits and synth sounds, processing foley and atmos sounds to evoke imaginary sci-fi environments, or simply looking to subtly (or maybe not-so-subtly) spice up the mix of your next electronic, hip hop, rock or pop song with some really distinctive ear candy elements, there are essentially only really a handful of core ways to push, pull, mangle and otherwise transform your audio. With this in mind, we’re kicking off a new 10-part series of posts that explore essential sound design techniques, along with the very best and most cutting-edge plugins for the task in each corresponding category. It’s never been more important to be able to craft distinctive and original sounds if you want to make your songs and productions shine and really stand out.įortunately, there have also never been so many tools to choose from to enable you to do just that.
