The Art of Sound Design

[@cinematicsounds]

🌟 Here is a summary. Thank me later, you got this! 🎬 Introduction: • Focus: Emphasizing the importance of sound over visuals in storytelling. • Goal: To show how sound effects bring films to life and evoke emotions that visuals alone cannot. 🎨 The Power of Sound: • Emotional Impact: Sound effects can dramatically enhance the viewer’s emotional response. • Example: A drone shot of a temple with and without sound illustrates the significant difference sound design makes. 🛠 Practical Sound Design Tips: 1. Start with Atmosphere: • Begin by adding ambient sounds such as wind, ocean waves, and city traffic to set the scene. • Match ambient sounds to the environment (e.g., wind and waves for ocean shots, forest sounds for wooded areas). 2. Focus on Key Subjects: • Identify the main subject of each scene and base sound design around it. • Example: For an elephant statue, use elephant sound effects; for waves crashing, use ocean sounds. 3. Layering and Limiting: • Avoid overloading the scene with too many sounds. Typically, use no more than three sound effects per scene. • Sometimes one well-chosen sound effect can suffice. 4. Dynamic Movement: • Adding sounds to dynamic actions requires precision and perfect timing. • Use subtle sounds and ensure they are perfectly synchronized with the visual movements. 5. Volume and Clarity: • Ensure sound effects are loud enough to be heard clearly, even on devices with low volume settings. • Edit sound at 60-70% volume to ensure it is audible for most viewers. 🎧 Advanced Techniques: • Organization: • Keep your sound effect library organized to avoid repetitive downloading and improve workflow efficiency. • Creative Substitutions: • Use unconventional sounds to create desired effects (e.g., a door slam for a skateboard landing). • Vary sound effects to maintain interest and avoid repetition. 📝 Additional Tips: • Smooth Transitions: • Use techniques like constant power fades to create smooth audio transitions. • Practice and Patience: • Sound design is a skill that takes time and practice to master. Avoid making sounds too loud or inappropriate for the scene. • Less is More: • Resist the urge to overdo it. Effective sound design often relies on subtlety and appropriateness rather than quantity. 🎬 Conclusion: • Importance: Sound design enhances storytelling and viewer engagement. • Encouragement: Keep practicing, experimenting, and refining your sound design skills for the best results.

I'm in the process of creating a KZbin channel and while editing my first video I was getting caught up with finding the right music and audio for my intro. All of this lead me down the rabbit hole of sound design and this was the most impactful one I've watched. I loved how you did a lot more showing than telling, with clips like the temple. Showing how much value and atmosphere sound made to what would otherwise be an uninteresting clip. Absolutely fantastic video!

[@ebclwhjbelchwj]

Extra tips : Use low pass , high pass , band pass , EQ and slow your audios to be creative

[@its.inframe]

true, especially matching the speed ofsound design with the speed ramps makes it so much better.

[@anildhakad.]

Bro can you tell me, from where i can learn about, lo paas high pass etc.

[@novaplaya]

how do u make the audios sound like their INSIDE of the video?

[@Ra00Da]

As motion designer i can say YES! the sound it's too important for the video and the history.

[@dkijc]

YESSSS VideoCopilot for theh win!! Man.. They were the OG! So glad their product is still so relevant. AC was truly a visionary

[@bimanshrestha4968]

Wow!! Thank you so much for this. “A thing of Beauty is Joy Forever!”

[@KardosoMedia]

Sound is so important! I almost always chose and design a soundtrack before even filming. Helps inspire. Great video and thanks for sharing!

[@mohammadtawaqqal1725]

Me too

[@daegnaxqelil2733]

i was on a video about the remaster of AOE2, many nostalgic fanboys say the og are better , while i replied the og were clumsily composed with weird sororities and the new ones were more medieval sounding, and then there's an idiotic guy who came to annoy me . he said that just cause he's a "composer" the og would be made with better talent, which is just plain stupid. he don't tell us how for which studio he worked so i assume he passed himself for a troll with a big vocabulary, with technical words. if he was a composer , he's then incapable to distinguish his own style to decent instrumentation. this was enough for him to get thumbs by naive fanboys. that's why i despise audio designers since then. i dunno why i tell you this but it's very present on my mind.

[@vinhdo1609]

The guy Cee-Roo is actually a God of sound design and music producer. i cant tell how important the sound is. but I can definitely point out beginner and pro from watching their video with or without putting effort on sound design

[@rikimarizard]

This was the best video I’ve seen on WHY and WHEN you should add sounds, not just how to use them in your editing tool. Thank you!

[@dr.gaming5415]

You just changed the way i see sfx, man you are a inspiration, mark my words., you will be the next daniel sniffer

[@HarriRomppainen]

Thank you guys again! Another very well crafted video on an extremely important topic. And yes, Cee-Roo's videos are amazing!

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Oh yeah!! His videos are a big inspiration to me. Thank you for the nice words, Harri!

The video is really helpful. Thanks for sharing. I'm kind of new in the film industry and trying to figure out the starting point in this sound design area.

[@toxiklive8308]

As an experimental producer i value music a ton more than usual users and feels great seeing people out there stating it

[@prashanthmotati3142]

The visuals are amazing. Also the come grading. Please do a video on them

[@thornnorton5953]

yeah. I love come grading. Its the best. It adds so much to films. This needs another tutorial even if its already done.

[@flash2k]

thank you for sharing.

[@lowellabraham6966]

Thank you DreamDuo Films. Do you add your SFX after you add your theme music score?

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Usually we first choose music because sometimes music itself changes the mood of the video, thus changing our choice of sound effects

[@OK_doitnow]

Impressive!

Very well explained, Covered all most every aspect of it. Great help :)

[@saketghule]

Superb

[@BranislavZvadaVideo]

So helpful man ! I would like to ask you what levels of db you using for sound effects and for the music? Because i have the same problem as you said that people are not recognised the SFX in the videos bcs its too low. I try to use like -6db for music a -3 for SFX but still its not a result i like. Thanks!

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Usually we tone it down to -5 or -10 db for most SFX, however, sometimes you dont have to do anything to the levels. Its soo hard to explain, I'd reconmend editing your videos on 60-70% of the value and then check it on the phone after rendering it to see whether you can notice the sound effects or not (on phones also try to listen to it at around 60-70% volume) 😊 Its that kind of a thing where you jusy get used to it and then will be able to do it naturally without any problems

[@rongwang4280]

[@cip4792]

Thank you!. I'm a beginner and I needed this video so much. + is there any free sites where you can get sound effects for free?

[@SliwkaProductions]

freesound :D

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Not really sure about that, however Epidemicsound only costs around 10 bucks per month if you're doing KZbin!

[@deepakfrancis5674]

Zapsplat is a sort of community driven website.There are tonnes of sound.There is a drawback,you can only download 4 sfx in a 10 minute gap......(pardon me for the shitty grammer)

[@piraimagan]

@@deepakfrancis5674 thank you 😊

[@bradenparkes]

awesome video! quick note - calling what you're doing as 'sound design' is a bit of a stretch at best - its more 'sound effects editing'. sound design is a whole craft in itself that goes far deeper than what is being shown here... but props for taking your audio seriously!

The skateboard example was a reference from Peter Mckinnon's video right?

[@DreamDuoFilms]

I'm afraid not, did he say something similar? I used that example because my girl and I were skateboarding that day haha

@@DreamDuoFilms Yeah i was totally guessing, btw you should watch his video of sound design, he dis said something very similar to what u said. Could be a total coincidence. Btw nice video mate.
