Sound Effects...
« on: February 14, 2012, 08:50:36 pm »

I'm working on this space game at the moment... I'm thinking about where I might be able to get some weapon sound effects (Autocannons should be simple... For lasers and such, I plan to make them realistic--i.e. the only counds are coming from the capacitors and such, which should be noisy considering there is a lot of power going through.). I was wondering if I should try to make my own, or simply make some by splicing together existing ones. Either way, has anyone made sound effects in any way before?

Get some chips from old computer or other machines, and make chiptune, im afraid i dont know how to do this though.
Try adding some flanger to sounds of lasers, and increase attack time for explosions.

Probably thats why they are used with pentagrams on covers of Satanic Black Metal albums.
