How To Sound Design Explosions (using Vital)
Vložit

- In this video on how to sound design explosions, I'll show you an easy method to get synthesized explosion sounds using Vital that can either be used on their own or combined with organic sounds.
In this video I'm using the free soft synth Vital and Ableton stock plugins but this can be replicated with other synthesizers and other DAWs/ plugins as well.
0:00 The sound
0:09 - Setup in Vital
0:23 - Adding filter & compressor
0:45 - Shaping with EQ
0:57 - Stereo with Haas effect
1:18 - Changing the volume shape
1:48 - Adding reverb
2:19 - More EQ shaping
2:27 - Transient shaping & distortion (Drum Buss)
3:10 - EQ & Compression
3:35 - Working with audio & layering
3:50 - Layering the sound with itself
4:28 - Layering the sound with other recordings
6:30 - Final tips
Absolutely awesome. Love it!
Wow, thank you! Love your stuff. :)
Math class: Everything can be made from sine waves. Sound Design: Everything can be made from random noise
I'm not a sound designer at all but I love watching you build these sounds up from almost nothing!
That's awesome. Thank you. :)
Making these sounds are gonna be a blast!
Have fun! :)
This is dope. I love the organic layering a lot.
Thank you. :)
thank you for showing these. I've always been wondering how to make these sounds/noises.
Glad it's helpful. Thank you. :)
i have not found anything remotely close to this for explosion synthesis, thank you!
i think the type of distortion is key here, it took me a long time to find something that would drive it as hard as that ableton drum buss soft clip is doing, without completely nuking the high end detail.
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful. And I agree - depending on the distortion you can shape the sound in different ways. :)
I really like your work, remaking those sounds in vital after watching your video has helped me so much! always inspiring❤
Thank you! :)
this is awesome thank you !
Glad you like it. :)
Wow! What a great tutorial!!🙏🏼💥🎉
Thank you! :)
great technique, thank you!
Thank you! Glad you like it. :)
Thanks! That was interesting!
Thank you; glad you like it. :)
awesome vid!
Thank you! :)
Yo this is sick. Are you working on any projects right now for games or film?
Thanks for your comment. :) Working on several projects but nothing game or film related at the moment. :)
this is amazing, thank you
Thanks, I'm glad it's helpful. :)
Drum buss seems to be really important in the chain. I don't have Ableton, what plugin do I use instead?
You can just use a transient shaper and any distortion plugin that you have available; this is what I'm using drum buss for in this case. Try out different distortion plugins to see which sounds best for this and also play around with the order of the plugins (transient shaper into distortion or the other way around). I use transient shaping and distortion at quite extreme settings in this case, but depending on the plugins you end up using, you might use more moderate settings. I hope this helps. :)
@@NGTVST thanks for the tips!
can you provide a download link for the foley audio pack? thanks
These are just my own recordings, not a sample pack. :)
This is absolutely incredible! I have a question, do you think you could apply these techniques into synthesizing gunshots?
Absolutely. :)
Maybe you've already seen my video on gunshots: czcams.com/video/L2bknjn0Alg/video.html
In this video I process raw gunshot recordings. And you will see that I use the gunshot recordings mainly for the tail and I create the transient/ punch with completely different recordings. You could do the same here and use these synthesized sounds mainly as the tail of the gunshot and then use any punchy sound you want to layer it and give it more impact.
: D
@AkashThakkarAudio :O just wow!
Awesome design! The Drum Bus effect seems super important in this sound, I wonder what they equivalent would be in Logic Pro?
I'm not familiar with Logic Pro, but from a quick google search I guess that the Enveloper stock plugin is a transient shaper. The only other thing I'm using drum buss for is distortion; so you can simply try out the different distortions in Logic Pro and see what kind of results you get. :)
@@NGTVST Thanks for going to that trouble of looking up a solution, very kind of you.☺ I wonder if boomerang techniques are a good idea for Vital? Meaning creating a basic sample from Vital then bringing that back into vital as a sample to then re-process? That way it would be a saved patch rather than a DAW reliant process. I've done that with noises but in this application it might work a treat?. Just a spitball idea. Thanks again! 😀👍
what library are those plastic sounds from ?
These are my own recordings :)
great video! where did you get the sounds from that you used for the texture?
Thank you! These are all sounds I recorded myself. :)
@@NGTVST they sound great :)
Can u plz explain how u made this in stereo?
It's called the haas effect. It's just using a stereo delay and then slightly delaying one of the two sides. Typically the delay time is kept below 20 ms, because if the delay is any longer than that, it will become audible. Due to the difference between the left and the right signal, the sound is in stereo.
I have a really short video on this showing it with the Ableton stock delay:

Hope this helps. :)
@@NGTVST I'm going to make a track based of this information. Thank you so much!!!
@@KnotLõ-ADSR Be aware that the downside of this technique is that it can cause phase issues when the signal is summed to mono. Sometimes it's better to use specific plugins that "stereoize" the signal and preserve phase coherence if you want to maintain stereo compatibility. :)
Me listening to the video with compressor ON on Linux: "why the explosions sound not that impactful?"
System-wide compressor? Yeah, that can be confusing. : D
@@NGTVST I use it so I can watch movies without waking up my son :)
