Cinematic Sound Design | How To Make BRAAMS
In this video I am doing some sound design from scratch and decided to turn on the camera and explain my process in case that might be helpful for anyone. The specific sound I am making today is called a BRAAM, it's that big, attention-grabbing horn/synth/impact sound thats often used in trailer music. I compose a good amount of trailer music and sometimes I need to take a step back and create some of my own unique sounds to spice up my productions and add some life back into my sound.
BRAAMs are make up of a few layers, usually a hit, some synths, brass and other SFX and sound sources to give it some cool character. Then all of those layers get processed, bounced to audio and added into a playable Kontakt instrument that I can use when I'm composing.
I hope this video is helpful to anyone interested in composing, sound design, or even filmmakers/video editors.

I pledge to finish tracks by first finishing the video 🫡
That would’ve been such a good tip to sneak in the video haha.
That stock compressor is sooo good. When i started using this on my master bus, it was an absolute game changer.
No kidding! Logic’s compressors are really great!
That's amazing I've been looking for a guitar cover of this
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
Cool thanks!
These are great. We don’t need to buy plugins. Logic already has them
Logic stock stuff can definitely cover a lot of ground!
amazing
Thanks Ray!
worked brilliantly!
Awesome!
What a brilliant tutorial, simplicity, clarity and detailing are absolutely fantastic. Thank you very much for this video. God bless.
Thank you! Same to you!
“Finished is better than perfect” is the tip I need hanging on my wall 😅
Easier said than done 😅
great video!
Thanks!
Awesome bro!! Keep it up
Thanks!
Great work, thank you so much man. This is the exact tutorial I have been looking for. Clear explanations with use cases for different workflows. Now what if I wanted to separate the midi out so I can change the pattern? Just separate by note pitch?
Thanks! And yeah, in theory you could separate it out by note pitch
Why this video is titled Disk Too Slow, while is talking about System Overload? I had the Disk too slow message while freezing tracks, since I'm am editing a 1:40 minutes movie.
Because when I get the error it says “disk too slow or system overload”
Thank you, Wilson. Your channel has been helping me a lot lately.
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
What other tips and tricks help you finish songs?
I play a really good song, and get inspired. Maybe I match an emotion, or follow a story. If it's a similar song, I take notes on how they push the song forward, and how they end.
I've been trying to record guitar with the signal split to two mono outputs and various pedals. When I try to input these two mono signals into logic as input 1 and input 2 I can only get one or the other, but not both at the same time. I've tried creating an aggregate input but that didn't work either.
That’s odd. What interface are you using?
@@woodyardmusic I'm running one USB cable from a Boss Katana Go to one of the USB inputs on my MacBook. I'm running a separate USB cable from a Fender Mustang GTX100 to a different USB input on my MacBook. Logic can't seem to recognize the katana and mustang inputs simultaneously, even if I combine the two into a single aggregate input.
@@trailingupwards I think the only way to get that to work would be with an aggregate device. I would double check the routing for your aggregate device, it might not be 1 and 2
Good info!
Thanks!
Excellent! Carry on. . .
Hi, Is it worth buying modx88 Plus and using it as a MIDI controller? Actually, I am looking to buy Modx but at the same time also a MIDI controller. Please suggest. Thanks
Hello! I don’t have a ton of experience with that particular keyboard but I’d say that’s a great option for something with built in sounds that can also be a midi controller. If you have more budget, I’d say look into a Nord Stage but Yamaha certainly makes good stuff too
Very helpful. Thank you so much.
Hay On some of my chanels the peak bars are red instad of green Whay is it?
That means either your input signal or output signal is too hot. If it’s happening on the input channels, turn the input gain down. If it’s happening on the output channels, (headphones for example) then send less audio to that output
@@woodyardmusic in the input only on chanel 1. 2-4 are grean with the same microphone. On the output the headphones and the master are red and line 3/4 is green
Clearest explanation on TH-cam 👍 especially’knee’ 👌thanks 🙏
Awesome! 🎉 you’re welcome!
Nice video. Lots of good tips. I noticed right at the very end that you dialled down the room reverb. I'm glad you did that!
Thanks! I usually tweak the room reverb at the end one I’m blending it with the band, really hard to get a good gauge on it before that
Very clear Wilson, Thank you!
I appreciate it! Glad you liked it
Wow this was an awesome video!!! Liked and subscribed for life…thank you for sharing your method!
Hey I appreciate it! Thanks for watching
This video is amazing. i'd fogotten about saving the patches. Genius!
Thanks! The patches are super helpful!
Just gain stage all the regions at the same time using the Normalize function set to your target.
Yoooo what?! That’s news to me
coooool so thanks !
You’re welcome!
questio n on the adat on the manual it says it can only be a slave interface because I have a 18i20 and the only way I can get hem to synce is if the scarleet is the master and the ssk the slave ?? i have no problem doing that but would I be loosing quality haveing the scarlet be that master clock???
That’s odd, I actually use an 18i20 with the SSL myself. I’ll have to take a look at the setting on both to see what’s happening. I haven’t noticed any loss of quality though, it always sounds pristine
@@woodyardmusic mine is a gen 2 maybe that’s why? Don’t really know been struggling to get them to synced with the ssl 12 being the master
@@ezurg01 it’s possible because it’s older that it’s harder for vit to play nice. I had two 18i20s and it was even hard to get those two to connect though. I know you have to go into Focusrite control and get all of those settings right too
thank you
You bet!
Hi Wilson, again thank you so much for this two part tutorial! I think you did a great job on laying out a workflow to follow, for a beginner having such a reference it's really helpful. Of course ones cannot go that deep in just two hours, but all the main points of mixing were there and well explained.
Thanks! The whole idea was to get people up and running with important stuff quickly. I can tweak a mix for daaaays but it stops helping at a certain point 😅
Super helpful, thank you
Awesome, my pleasure!
Cool trick with the pre mix automation. I've never seen that before...
Thank you! It’s a small detail but can add some great impact
Great job!
Thanks!
omg, this was one of the best tutorials. thank you so much:)
Thank you!
Thank you!! This is exactly what I was looking for! Oh BTW, please begin the videos by saying, 'Hi, I'm..." so I can thank you by name!
Ha! Glad it helped. I have been introducing myself in my more recent videos 😊

I can't afford nor do i own anything close to this. That will not stop me
Just do your best to create you own sounds with whatever you have! It’s not about having expensive gear
@@woodyardmusic agreed
Great comparison. Would have liked to see them aimed more toward the center to lessen the overtones but, I agree that the Beta 57 was a good overall mic and did pretty well in isolating.
That’s fair! It took everything we had just to fit all the mics in there 😂
Great tutorial thanks. Very clear and easy to understand.
Awesome! You’re welcome.
