Have you ever thought about having your music or sound effects stolen, illegally downloaded, or ripped off? Or worse, finding out that your music or sound effects are being sold by somebody else and they are making money off of your hard work.
When I began working as a composer and sound designer online, I had to figure out ways to protect my work…
I recently bought a plugin called Traveler which is made by a company called Tonsturm. As I was playing around with this plugin, I quickly realized that I could easily make what I thought were some pretty convincing helicopter sound effects…
Game over sound effects are effects associated with a character dying. They are typically short and have a sad feeling to them. Because 8-bit sound effects are generally made from accelerated, fast-paced intervals and patterns, you’ll notice in the video example that we use exactly this method. We’ll be using minor thirds and diminished 7th (generally associated with a sad mood) to generate the game over sound effect.
Whether you’re playing an adventure game, side scroller, or any of the classic Super Mario games, coin sound effects are important because they give the player a sense of achievement. When I was working on my 8-bit sound pack, I wanted to create coin sounds as I knew they played a major role in these types of games. In the process of creating coin sounds, I discovered how to closely recreate the Super Mario coin sound effect.
Whether you’re jumping into a portal or just loading a game, 8-bit game starting sounds are important to the retro style of video games. As I was creating my 8-bit sound pack, I discovered a few easy ways to create game starting sound effects that I want to share with you.
When I was creating my 8-bit sound pack I learned a lot of fundamental concepts that helped shape the direction of my sound design. These fundamental concepts are the building blocks for creating 8-bit sound design.
Have you ever wanted to recreate the classic Super Mario jump sound effect? With some trial and error and a bit of experimentation I figured out how to create an 8-bit jump sound effect that is very similar.
Just as weapon sounds can define a game, so can hits, punches, and kicks for games that have only melee combat as their primary combat system. In this post, I want to share with you how I went about create an 8-bit punch sound effect in Native Instruments Massive.
As I was creating my 8-bit retro sound pack I knew that gun sound effects were going to be an important component. Weapon sounds often make up the heart of games. In this post I want to share the results of my experimentation and findings for creating 8-bit styled gun sound effects.
Recently, I was in my studio planning my 8-bit sound pack when I decided I wanted to include explosion sounds. I asked myself: “how do you create 8-bit explosion sounds?”. In this post I share the results and findings of my experimentation.
