The Sound of Hyper Light Drifter: Part 2

[@chrisraymond6165]

Great look into the sfx, glad that every layer of this game has a lot of love.

[@AwesomeCrackDealer]

The sound was definetely one of the best things in the game. Wonderful work right here

[@internisus]

I really like the ragged texture of the sword swipe sounds. Can you talk about those in another installment?

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Will do!

[@Watchlist_Nominee]

I love the swipe's also, and the dodge/evade sounds were spot on too.

[@moeezS]

I'll give a generic answer and say I love all the sounds in the preview! Especially the shotgun and when enemies get killed by it, has that very old school shooter squelch satisfying sound to it.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Thank you!

[@Kn.77]

It's so cool looking back at these :D

[@TriangleOfDoom]

I really enjoy seeing all of this stuff. I recently found out about the production of Hyper Light Drifter, and I have to say, I'm incredibly excited.

[@meny82]

Really interesting, thanks for sharing Akash.

[@gregsmith80]

Oh yeah, baby. Flex Mode is one of the best tools for weird, crunchy sound design.

[@DyvimZard]

Interesting peek into sound design. Thanks Akash!

[@QuilavaEditz]

Very interesting! Can't wait~

[@bren7883]

its cool to see you make great music with such a humble setup

[@RobMTube]

Good stuff! Q1: I was surprised you have all sounds stacked in one project, what are the advantages to this? Isn't this costly for memory? Q2: Could you explain how you catalog your sounds so you can find the one you need later? Thanks!

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Q1: It is, but it makes things easier to revise. Also, I have SO MUCH RAM. Q2: I name them something that I can remember, and also have a gigantic google doc that keeps track of everything, and lets me and the devs know what to work on next.

[@RobMTube]

Thanks for the reply! I also figured you may have global audio settings/levels that you wanted to maintain through each sound effect. I use an old pro, so not much RAM :-P Thanks again for the tips and video, gave me a lot to think about.

[@hypetrain7134]

This is fascinating.

[@JoshuaDuChene]

Holy crap, you're like a freaking wizard! :-P Great stuff here, man. Your ingenuity in regards to crafting sounds is inspiring. I can't wait to see more! I'd also love to see a quick tut on how you made your stethoscope/microphone if you have a few extra minutes sometime. ;-)

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Thank you so much! I will make that stethoscope video sometime! As soon as I get a minion to help me record that!

[@JoshuaDuChene]

Well, I am in Seattle most of the time. Let me know, and I'd be happy to help you with it! :-)

[@SandersCat_yo]

you seem to have a very big collection of sounds, how do you categorize them?

[@jeandenishaas]

Super interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@drumatic]

We are using SP1200 to degrade a lot of our sounds via 12-bit sampling :) you are one of our sound design heroes btw!

[@100milliseconds]

These videos are really interesting to watch. Hope you continue :)

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

I absolutely will!

[@jetpacking1]

will you be posting any more of these videos? it seemed like you wanted to do a lot of them :)

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

There will absolutely be more! Once I have some more cool stuff to show off :)

[@omgjlmiub]

the module pillar looks so cool, you should make a dcl using it ;)

[@RodrigoHernandez-tn7xw]

How did you attatch your microphone to the stetoscope?

[@el_guingo]

I recently went over Omnisphere's documentation and it turns out it's OK to use it for commercial purposes when it comes to music, but NOT when it comes to sound design 😶

[@octopussy1771]

I'm going to use logic pro now for my game named fox maiden a sides roller of all of the elders rolls combined including elsweyer

[@PitoolGaming]

lol ,that module piller asset got completely remade

[@cogigo]

Funny I just finished the demo for the trillions time a second ago and was longing for more. There were some brilliant soundeffects in the demo and some weak ones. Cant wait for the final product. But take your time guys. Is feedback still appriciated? I was thinking about making a very detailed breakdown of postive and negativ stuff.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Go nuts. I want to hear about the good and the bad.

[@MattLohkamp]

absynth is pretty fuckin' cool.

[@ibrahim1x]

does absynth work with garageband ?

[@sgdorin]

Is the game still built in game maker ?

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Yes it is!

[@sgdorin]

Akash Thakkar Awesome, great work you guys !

[@synthflow6892]

Why are you creating those effects in stereo? why not just use mono?

[@jewfinigan863]

'Just being a freezer' XD

[@user-ed3yv4er5o]

what program is he using?

[@user-ed3yv4er5o]

*****​ thanks man right now we're in 2D animation and learning how to put audio together with our characters

[@jasonsoto5273]

Supercool :P

[@ignacionavarroazurmendi6945]

te amo

[@gerhardwasowski]

separate playing sound and talking. first just play all single sounds and whole sound, then talk, and then play again. that's it

[@アンドープロジェクト]

666 like is mine!
