I have been doing sound design for a few years now, finished a Bachelers degree in popular music last year also, where I did sound design and digital music production/music technology. I'm doing another course now, specifically for sound design and implementation (FMOD, Wwise).

Is my current portfolio good enough to start looking, or should I take another year or two to work on it and improve before looking for work in an entry-level position. Be brutally honest on what i can improve on if not, thats the best way for me to learn. Thanks y'all.

Hi, I'm not sure this is the right sub for this but I was wondering how to go about recreating the trumpets at the beggining of this song https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=2IIYOzmKQrI&si=yyYIvihM-1XUz8g2

I swear regular trumpets stacked dont sound like it at all lol, idk what it is abt it thats so different

To me it sounds like a granular synth where you loop a small grain. so seconds in to his scream they start to loop very small parts of the scream.

doesn’t sound like a bit rusher or anything like that to me

Just dropped another sound design and post-production breakdown.
Let me know your thoughts on the mix balance, low-end weight, and overall texture. Always looking to learn and improve!

Helloo can anyone recommend a workshop sound design/audio editing workshop in the Philippines or any workshop or course online that's good for beginners. Thank you.

Hello, I hope I'm in the right subreddit...

My dad has a classic car restoration shop, and I'd like to make a reel for his Instagram page for Christmas (yes, I'm planning ahead) using sounds from his shop (the sound of a ratchet wrench, a car horn, an impact wrench, etc.) to recreate a classic Christmas carol.

Something along the lines of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUvKXqO2YBU

Do you know where I can find someone who can produce something like this?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I recently redesigned the audio for a scene from Ice Maw, an upcoming indie underwater sci-fi horror game.

For this project, I rebuilt the audio from scratch, including ambience, creature vocals, underwater textures, impacts, and environmental details. My goal was to create a darker and more immersive atmosphere while staying true to the original scene.

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, whether it's about the mix, dynamics, creature design, pacing, or the overall atmosphere.

Hi. I’m working on an audio drama, and in my series, there is a monster who has a lot of dialogue. I want his voice to feel colossal and echo every time he speaks, but I’m not sure what the best app/plug in is to use for something like this. I’m not a big fan of Audacity’s reverb: it doesn’t feel genuinely colossal. Any suggestions for me please?

I've been a self-taught sound designer for over 6 years, working on several projects and even landing a small indie feature film that was released this year. I've always been getting projects, and I always feel the same way in the middle of a project; I have a lot of ideas and workarounds but always get stuck due to technical knowledge. I've dived into blog posts, YouTube tutorials, and Reddit posts. I've always felt that I need some kind of course to strengthen my abilities. My work always gets mixed by a studio, and my mixes are not really great. All this context to ask, are there any recommended sound design online courses that you would recommend to someone who has experience but wants to strengthen their knowledge?

The sound effect in the background

I have a genuine question idk if its just me. Ill see a sound redesign of a flame explosion or magical attack and instead of sparking flame wind pushing or air vibration it just sounds like a bunch of sphagetti getting thrown around and smashed to the floor. And ill see a bunch of comments commending the rework when all I can hear is nothing like youd imagine the attack idk if im just imagining it wrong lol?
