Sound Effects 2022
Added 2022-11-17 18:12:54 +0000 UTCSome bit more "hi-fi" sound design/recordings. Can't remember what the last lot of noises I posted were. About half of these are in fact sounds from years ago I hadn't properly mastered, trimmed, named, de-noised, etc. until now.
In fact, I have a really hard time naming some of these noises, especially when they get abstract. What I always liked about the Hanna-Barbera sounds is that they're metaphors representing impossible cartoon actions. Who's to argue what "dashing out the scene" or a "take" should or should not sound like? Anyway, let me know if any particular bloop or wheep immediately creates the impression of a thing, emotion or action to you, so I can give them descriptive filenames!
There's a bunch more sounds I've lined up for mastering, trimming and naming months ago, but I'm so put off by the process of thinking of unique names for them all. They have to be easy to find, but not easily confused with other sounds like it. This is what the current format I'm experimenting with looks like:
But it gets troublesome when there's a lot of a particular subject (and yes, the commas are messy):
There's metadata etc. for additional information, but yeah it's a tricky balance. The past 15 years or so, I've accumulated so many sounds, without any trimming (some sessions are almost an hour long) and without any naming convention, that I'm beginning to lose track. It would be nice to one day add a sound to a cartoon without having to stop, spend 10 minutes hunting for it, and do the trimming within the project!
