Why are we moving platforms again 😅

If it wasn't clear um... get in touch and we'll see what we can make happen! ☺️

Hey #indiedev community.

If I were to run a special for you to have sound effects for your game, what price amount per sound would YOU be willing to pay?

I was given one by an old relative years ago. It's somewhere in void that is a basement 😵‍💫

Idk about the Steam Deck but definitely play Stranger of Paradise. The opening scene is imo one of the top 3 best produced opening cutscenes. The blocking, music, lighting are all so so good

I like working on #VoiceActors demo reels because I get to help people on their journey for their field while continuing my journey in audio engineering/sound sound design

Anyone need an audio pro for their #indiegame, #animation, #webseries, #audiodrama

Yeah layers in sound design are important but what really makes a scene come alive via sound is all about movement: panning and EQ changes

A static mix will void any scene of "life"/immersion

Sound Design is like drawing for sound. You have to "sketch" out the idea then fill in the details

I've entered my granular synthesis phase of my career for monster design, which combines my organic style with synthesis that I will put that 🤬 on everything

Just putting it out there that I'm opening 5 commission slots for character demo reels for #voiceactors for September
$125 CAD for dx edit, mix/master
$175 CAD for dx edit, sfx, mix/master

CAD = Canadian dollar which is less than US dollar

Apparently you don't respond to more than one person on here so I wrote my response to the original asker if you're interested in my answer 😅

It was just a different sfx looping technique that's way faster than how I was taught that I stumbled across on YouTube youtu.be/NbahluQfbpc?...
The only addition I do for this is to ensure the cut is at the beginning of the wave cycle or the end to ensure it's clean to prevent clicks

I love learning new audio techniques that make my life easier but sometimes when I learn a new thing that's WAY better than any previous methods I've done it's like "how did I not think of this?!"

It knows it's Friday. It wants to prolong the week as much as possible

Sarah 🎙️🎧🎵 @polarityaudioworks.bsky.social · Aug 8

Does anyone else like rewatching stuff with people just to see their reactions or am I just weird 🤔

Jelly. Mine are probably still month away from harvesting

I'd:
Buy an acreage and build a house that each of my immediate family gets their own wing
Build a dedicated studio building on said land
Fund and produce indie games

If you won $90,000,000, would the money change you? Or would you mostly be the same person with more resources?

Sarah 🎙️🎧🎵 @polarityaudioworks.bsky.social · Jul 23

I know the feeling 🫠
