Daily Sound Design Glossary By Blastwave FX

November 12, 2009 by Miguel Isaza

BlastwaveFX

Recently Blastwave FX created an account on Twitter, a place for announces, goodies, and everything about the company. They had a cool idea: Each day they are posting a sound design definition from his glossary.They have already published several of them:

  • AMBIENCE – An element that is a recording of a real world environment, or an element that sets an atmospheric mood.
  • TELEMETRY – A transmission of digital beeps that suggests the sound of satellite data being sent or received.
  • BED– A constant sound or group of sounds usually over a long duration of 30–60 sec. Unlike a Drone, a bed can be musical in nature
  • BLURB – A short element that rises or descends in pitch, similar to a cartoon or multimedia element
  • WARBLE – An element that gives wow and flutter as the primary sound.
  • BULLET TIME – A heavy whoosh that slows down in pitch rapidly to a stop.



Don’t forget to follow BlastwaveFX on Twitter and receive the definition of each day. The official hashtag is #sdgloss.

    Hi,
    Q.
    I am looking for a word to describe the act of,
    the sound you make when, waking up after a good nights rest, during that fist clenching stretch, yawning, and ( blurting ) out uncontrollable sound.
    blurt seems to fit talking more.
    blurb came to my mind.
    what do you think?
