Description: This course will cover a technique you can use to layer recordings, sound libraries, and synthesized elements to create realistic sound effects for film. We’ll look at two types of layering: spectral layering, where you combine sounds with additional spectral information, and elemental layering, where you consider breaking sounds down into their component parts. Finally, we’ll look at combining these techniques to develop a general approach to creating any sound effect.
Contents :
Part 1: Layering to Create Realistic Sound Effects
Introduction to the course, discussing the two types of layering that will be addressed: spectral and elemental.
Part 2: Example Piece
A section from the film Casino Royale shows some of the example pieces I’ll be using, and the sort of work you can achieve with these techniques.
Part 3: Spectral Layering
Spectral layering involves layering together sounds that have complementary spectral
information. Discussion of how you can think about splitting the spectrum, and what sort of sounds can go in each region. Part 4: Spectral Layering Example – Gunshot
Dissecting a gunshot sound effect to demonstrate the technique, looking at what mid/ high frequency elements go in the sound and how they affect the timbre.
Part 5: Spectral Layering Example – Gunshot pt. 2
Continued from part 4, looking at some of the low mid and bass elements in the sound, and the sorts of samples you can use, also how you might go about synthesizing low frequency information for any kind of sound.
Part 6: Layering by Element
Discussion of layering by element, breaking common sounds down into smaller tangible parts and thinking about what sound each part can make on its own.
Part 7: Combining the Techniques
Most sounds will require a combination of elemental and spectral layering, we look at a more complicated example where this is required.
