Looks like you are around the same skill level as me in sound editing. Except you have been experimenting more. I am still trying to find a good shareware program. I use Sound Studio (for osx) or something like that but it has no layers or nothing. Just left and right channel. And it's kinda hard to have seperate stuff on each channel. Now I have been wondering, i could try to get the same sound program i use for recording my bands, ProTools (the best music recording program out there, and also one of the most expensive) Maybe i'll try to find somebody to burn a cd for me of it. (i don't have it at home, just in the computer we use in the "studio")
Sounds i've made are gun firing, and lots of rocks falling down a deep hole or canyon. Plus i got few funny monster sounds, hehe. I also made a "switch hit click" for my A1 scenerio. Those are well.. my best done sounds so far. I just need a better equipment and software. Maybe i should buy a microphone on my iPod :-D
: Johannes, I probably have nowhere near the audio talent you do. If
: anything, I should be asking you for pointers on technique and such.
: I’m still pretty much in my “experimentation” faze, still learning all the
: different and cool stuff that can be done. That said, I used to use
: Goldwave for all my sound editing, but my PC took a nose dive a wile
: back, and I haven’t bothered un-fucking it yet. Now I use something called
: SndSampler on my OS 8. It’s shareware, so it’s not as full-featured as I’d
: like, but it seams to be getting the job done. What do you use for sound
: editing?
: When it comes to making stuff, yeah, I usually start off by recording
: something (like the beep of a cell pone dial, or static off my radio) to
: use as a base sound, and then go from there, messing with the pitch and
: EQ, adding layers, etc etc. For instance, I created a pretty nice mortar
: firing sound by smacking my open palm over the mouth of a lead pipe. In
: fact, most of the stuff I’ve done so far is weapon sounds (I find short
: bursts of audio much more easy to work with.) Living in Texas, I have
: plenty of things laying around that go “bang” ;-)
