Layering + Innovation

[Navron]

This video is more geared towards those who create sound effects, but when it comes to stuff like kicks, snares, and other sampled sounds for music, the principles are the same:

- Be Creative
- Don't look for a one step solution.

I made a decent kick with a book drop, a decent snare with clapping my hands, and I'm sure I could create a badass shaker with my keys.

"All sounds suck on their own. The best sounding stuff, is built."

Warning: Video based on action movie sound design. Contains some mature elements.

thats actually a really good idea, never thought about it

I'm curious to check out the video when I get home. Worth noting, I once made a slick kick drum by beating my chest. Haha! I intend on getting a decent mic and audio recorder in the near future so I can record random sounds for future manipulation.

He makes a gunshot sound without using gunshot sounds, layering is certainly a huge part in general sound design and this video showcases the idea nicely. Thanks for posting it

I'm going to a music college learning production and everything freddie is saying in this video is exactly what all my teachers have taught me. This is really good stuff.

Almost everything I do is layering lol
