Sound design

[N.E.R.D]

hi

Just wondering if anyone out there does sound design for TV/film etc. What is the general way those sounds are created? Sound effects that are processed with effects/ synths/ plugins? ie. What tools are most useful for sound design?

Thanks

Sound Forge, SoundHack, Absynth. A rock solid clocking device. Imagination and an ability to work fast. This is what ya need for
entertainment sound design.

Just about every piece of software you can imagine is used...there's more than one way to skin a cat, and every designer has their preference in skinning tools...myself, it's PT, DP, Reason, Live, SoundApp and an armada of FX processors, mics, plug-ins and synths.

Also, having a massive sound library is practically a must...most of the sounds you hear out there have been pulled off of a library as not everyone has the budget or time to foley an entire production.
