Audio plugins for sale by Bluetechaudio? Great sound design can’t be rushed, so before you do anything, set aside some time to do it – regular sessions, if you can. Follow the example of top sound designer Junkie XL, who sets aside every Sunday purely to create sound. Okay, maybe that’s a bit lavish – if you’re anything like us, Sundays are about eating and drinking as much as you can – but if you plan dedicated sessions for creating sound, as you probably already do for creating music, then you’ll find that those music-making sessions flow so much better when you use the original ingredients your sound-design sessions have yielded.

Our ears have adapted to take basic physics of our gaseous Earth atmosphere into account: beyond very short distances the further any sound travels, the more high-frequency energy (and extreme low-end to a slightly lesser extent) will dissipate as it travels through the atmosphere. To push a sound further back in the mix, try rolling off varying amounts of higher frequencies and hear it recede behind the other elements. This is particularly useful for highlighting a lead vocal in front of a host of backing vocals (cut the BVs above around 10kHz, possibly boost the lead vocal in the same range). It’s also a solid choice for EQing drum submixes to ensure the drums are punchy overall but not too in-your-face. A touch of reverb is also an option here, naturally.

Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from slightly delaying one side of a real stereo sound. For example, you might want to spread your ethereal synth pad to epic proportions. Just be aware, however, that you’ll also be making it that much more ‘unfocused’ as well. For pads and background guitars though, this is often entirely appropriate. As you play with the delay time setting, you’ll notice that too-short delays result in a pretty nasty out-of-phase sound. Meanwhile, too-long delays will break the illusion, and you’ll start to hear two distinct and separate sounds. You’re looking for something in between, which will sound just right and help you catch the space you want. Remember: The shorter the delay time, the more susceptible the sound is to unwanted comb filtering when the channels are summed to mono. This is something to consider if you’re making music primarily for clubs, radio, or other mono playback environments. Discover additional information at Midi plugins.

You should be smart when recording “found” sounds. Most of the time these sounds will come from the outside world versus digital sources. You will need to grab your keys and get out there to search for that sound you need. You will need to record smartly using a field recorder and some tricks. When you record your sounds be aware of ambient noise. Sometimes this noise can be preferred and may add character to your sound. In most cases, the frequencies that this noise occupies will need to be edited out or avoided altogether. This is especially important when recording multiple sounds from one area. You may wish to layer these sounds when you get back to your studio. You’ll notice that when you start layering, all of that noise adds up quickly. Remember to note and label all your sounds to avoid double work.
