i hope you comeback to youtube

This was super useful, thank you. Seems I'm doing the right things, just need to look into pro tools.

I appreciate your videos so much

It seems the link is not valid. Is there a way to join discord group? Thanks!

There is nothing as good as the feeling you get when you can actually help someone and then they start their own creative journey. I really enjoyed this video and your preceding video. Thank you.

Hey Braden, loving the videos, theyve been super helpful! As a prospective sound designer looking to enter the video game industry, what are some ways to acquire footage to work on for a demo reel? To give you some context, I’ve been an independent audio engineer for 5 years going on 6. I have most of the knowledge I need on DAWs, mics, and other hardware/software. So far, I’ve been putting together a demo reel (about a minute long) of just free video gameplay stock footage borrowed off getty images that I’ve done sound design on. It’s been great practice, however, I’m afraid that the watermarks on all the clips will hurt my chances with my reel being accepted. Is it really worth spending $200+ just to have the vids with the watermarks out? Any help, feedback, or guidance is greatly appreciated! Keep doing what you do!

Love Your tutorials man, they help a bunch

Just starting out and would like to say I mirror a lot of these exact thoughts. Feeling weird using great sound libraries, seeing implementation and ideas and structure but using my own version, not knowing when it’s done, etc Soundly seems like a really good option for libraries. Their marketing is top notch too. It’s like the splice (music production version) of sound design. I’m also already noticing a lot of game people do thin or just things I find over the top. There’s like a weird space most games live in between stylized and realistic. Although I do love a really stylized game audio like hollow knight or Mario or Kirby or things that just really sound how they look almost in an aesthetic art way versus sound design realism and thickness. Field recording I find cathartic and relaxing and maybe just as a layer can set yours apart from peeps using the same libraries. Makes me more aware of sound and generally is a good way to get outside

What are good alternatives for a similar workflow if we don't have Radium?

I grew up watching Wes Craven and Stephen King. As soon as i figure out how to do this using ableton. I'm going to taumatized a lot of ppl.

Fantastic video! Final result did indeed sound killer. Also, we demand a puppy update! Haha

Hi Braden, I just came across this video and I too am in the early stages of transitioning into a career as a sound designer. I've been a location sounds recordist in the film industry for the last 13 years but want to make the move into game audio. I'm curious if you still stand by this advice two years later? Are there any other things one might need to do now to make themselves a more attractive candidate for sound designer jobs? Thanks so much!

former PT user here. Now on Nuendo with Wwise. Nuendo is better in Midi, Composing and sounddesign for my tasks. Highly recommend.

How to find a job with college/uni degree?

Where can I find free copyright videos/animations to practice sound design on?

Hey Braden, this is such good content . I have developed an interest for Sound design for the past few months and planning to start learning from scratch. It would be great if you could suggest me stuff where I could learn my basics.

Thx for this amazing video!

Ooooh how about the trigger pull nose for the gun shot!

Come back Braden

Never seen your vids before, that intro was god teir. instant sub Edit: Oh my god the advice is amazing too??

I think my mental health got better by watching this video. Thanks for sharing your art with us Braden.

Dude like i am so pumped up right now that i want to throw some spoons on floor and make something out of it waking everyone at home😂 please keep posting

Hi Braden, Thanks for your video. I have question. If i have experience about songwriting and know logic pro , what i need study for sound design ? Wwise?

"I don't think _____ sounds that good" This information would've been helpful to know. However, I can elucidate why a lot of games use tinny, thin, and very tight sound design. It's because they have a much greater emphasis on the clarity of an active regular-meter OST, where the bass and low-mids are frequently completely reserved. Bassy, heavy, wide and full sounds will hurt both the mix of the OST and the clarity of the sound design. It's not due to a lack of skill on the audio engineer's part -- rather, the complete opposite. Huge impacts are mostly only relegated to cutscenes, where they can be carefully timed to not interfere with the soundtrack. You'll note that the designer in the video names Call of Duty as an exception -- and you'll also note that Call of Duty uses a passive, frequently irregular-meter OST more akin to a film score than a modern video game. Just be careful not to analyze sound design as a vacuum but to consider it as a branch of audio engineering as a whole, along with composition/production and voice recording.

*SD for TV ads too!*

would it make sense to have the music in the reel as well?

There's literally no one else on TH-cam that teaches within this niche, bless you for making videos, you are a GODSEND!

The audio job market is FLOODED! Flooded, flooded, flooded. For every job, there are 1000+ applicants. It's insane. Every kid with Garage Band on their computer is trying to be a Sound Designer. I used to give elaborate advice to people who would ask me how to get into the biz, but now I advise them against it.

B.P. why stop posting videos?

Thank you for posting these videos. Lots of good advice here

Hello, what are the some of the roles of the sound designers that deal exclusively with music? It seems as though teams just decides for someone to do it, it's hard to find actual job postings or even requirements for it.

Hey Braden , i have one question , if u use a sfx without the right of the owner , but it just for layering a bunch of the other sfx ,still risk to be copyright even if the pitch/lenght (and occasionaly timber due to layering) have changed the sound ? (sorry for my english , btw i'm asking that bc someon give me some sfx but i dnt know if i can use them )

After reading some of your responses to get started I’ve subscribed. I had no idea Pro Tools and Kilohearts were subscription models now. The library recommendations are great and I’m stoked for your channel. I didn’t realize how many opportunities there are in audio! Thanks for making this and for the detailed responses to your comments!

I was looking for a channel exactly like this! Thank you!! Do you have an email where I could send you my sound design of a short animation? :)

as a sound design student for film, it's very nice to see the workflow for game sound design! (As we don't get that in school) Keep it up! Enjoyed very much.

You're back. That's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These were some impressive tips to hear. Clearly you are very knowledgeable with slow motion effects and sounds. Great video!

Thank you for sharing your skills. I really want to know how to panning in your process. Thank you again.

this video was grat man, thanks!

Cliff hanger advice @ 6:20

Great!

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for these video. I am doing sound design for a game in uni and this help me heaps in understanding sound design workflow in Pro Tools

Thank you for sharing your workflow and ProTools tips! super helpful. Great Video !!!

Another great video. Thanks for the advice! For someone new starting out, what software/sound libraries would you suggest? I know it's pricey but soundminor sounds like a great tool to have?

I have watched many videos on how to become successful with sound design and your info you give is by far the most helpful thank you. I am a 38 year old looking to change careers from a store manager to sound design. I do some music recording for fun but I would love to create sounds for video games.....I am going to sign up for the audio design program at berklee to give me a jumpstart.....but in your honest opinion, do you think I am too old to get into this?

Intro is awesome

Loving these videos! Thank you for not only going into the thought process behind your sound design, but your workflow tips/hotkeys etc as well. Extremely helpful!
