Sound Design

According to Wikipedia, sound design is 'a technical/conceptually creative field. It covers all non-compositional elements of a film, a play, a music performance or recording, computer game software or any other multimedia project. ... Sound Design can also be defined as: "The manipulation of audio elements to achieve a desired effect."'

Examples include:

  • Creation of a signature sound for a hero, villain, etc. in a film or video
  • Creation of a souind "logo" for a web page
  • Recreation of an unusual sound to replace recorded audio which is unusable for some reason. Our most unusual example occured during the reversioning of a Discovery Channel program when we needed to recreate the sound of a camel getting an enema!
  • Addition of non-musical elements to a music score
  • Manipulation of a sound recording or sound track to achive a desired effect.
