Intro
Hi there! If you want to learn how to create sound effects, you are in the right place. In this guide, we will design one thousand whoosh sound effects from scratch. Yes, that’s right! My goal is to make these sounds using a synthesizer, starting from nothing and going all the way to one thousand sound effects.
These sounds don’t need to be the most beautiful you’ve ever heard, but they should be usable. You can use them as layers in a design or let them stand on their own in projects or sound packs.
Creating Sound Design Files
Let’s jump into our project! First, we load Phase Plant in Reaper. We will create what I call “sound sampling sound design files.” These are long files of random sounds to get many ideas and tones flowing.
We chop these long files into different little sections to use later. This part takes a while, but it’s important to gather lots of sounds!
Adding Effects to Sound Design Files
Once we have our sounds, we can start adding cool or weird effects. We create a new instance of Phase Plant and get a fresh start. We can play with wave tables and reduce sustain to make whoosh sounds.
After getting a bunch of sounds, we can keep going and add new effects to modulate everything. We can even layer some sounds together to create variations!
Creating Whooshes with nvk_Create
Next, we open NVK_Create to make new whooshes by layering sounds. This is a fun way to get many variations quickly. We can create about twenty five to start.
After that, we can keep adding new sounds and effects to get even more layers. It’s all about experimenting!
Creating a Sampling Design File from Our Whooshes
Now, we can take our whoosh sounds and create a sampling design file. This allows us to gather our sounds in one place. We can keep adding effects and making adjustments until we are happy with the results.
Creating Whooshes Using nvk_Autodoppler
Using nvk_Autodoppler, we can create even more whoosh sounds. We can add some fun effects and make our sounds stand out.
Let’s explore different effects and see what cool sounds we can create together!
Creating Noise-Based Whooshes
Next, we will create noise-based whooshes. This will give us a different texture and feel. Adding random LFOs will help make each sound unique.
Once we have a bunch, we can chop them up and export them to use later!
Layering Sounds Together
Now, it’s time to layer sounds together! This is where we can get really creative. We will gather our sounds and put them into one folder. Using tools like Traveler will help us add depth to our whoosh sounds.
Let’s keep layering and see how many different textures we can create!
Exporting Final Sounds
Once we have our sounds layered and processed, we can export them. This is exciting because we can finally hear our creations!
We can review how many sounds we have and what they sound like. It’s great to see our hard work pay off!
Reviewing Final Sounds
After exporting, we can check our sounds. We will have a thousand sounds, and it’s fun to see what we created!
Each sound tells a story, and we can use them in our projects!
