T30 - Creating Sound Effects Libraries

You can hear them in action movies, commercials, documentaries, or video games. They can tell and support a story, define a character, make a world authentic or provide important acoustic feedback on actions or notifications. We’re talking about Sound Effects. There are many, many cases where it’s impossible for a Sound Designer / Sound Editor to record/edit their own sound effects for a certain project. Mostly this is because of, e.g., lack of budget, time, equipment, or no access to specific props or typical sounds of foreign countries. That is where huge general sound effects libraries and independent sound effect pack creators come into play. In this event professional sound designer and sound effects manufacturer Saro Sahihi, founder of SoundBits (www.soundbits.de) examines the workflows, tools, and specific challenges to craft sounds from scratch for sound effects libraries.
