Some explosions of this library would’ve helped a lot with the war!

I used filtered explosions for a game a while ago to add weight to an earhtquake and to emphasise bigger cracks. Worked great. It’s also great for highlighting heavy impacts, like car crashes or if you want reaaally huge footstep sounds.

I have granulated some underwater whooshes and some whipping sounds together and those are working well but they lack excitement in relation to the damage the players receives. I plan to add some explosions to open up the sound, and some reversed explosions to close the sound back out. That should give it a pumping in / out behavior. With the highs removed and some diffused verb, the explosions should be nicely masked by the water layer on top. This is an impressive library from Tonsturms, but I knew that before I listened to the demo tracks.

What about a normal guy in the middle of the thirties. Walking through a passageway. We heard the steps with a very long reverb along with all the situations he had live during the day(we heard parts of conversations). He has been fired, fight her brother… That kind of things. He take his keys while come nearer to a door. A plane of the door and then a plane of him taking his keys(this effect with the same type of reverb that the footsteps). He open the door and we can see A girl naked in the sofa with other guy. The dialogue lines we were hearing become louder and start to mix together while we hear a synth sound(something based on triangle waves mixed with the sound that makes a electric guitar when you run with the pick along his strings). All the sounds become louder gradually and then with a very firat plane of the face of the guy(only the eyes and the nose) all becomes quiet. Just a second of silence and then…. BOOOM!!!!!

Slo-mo of whales broaching (leaping) take on new dramatic perspective when enhanced with explosions, on both exit from and re-entry to the water. Snakes and crocodiles striking prey, trees being felled, and goats head-butting have all been augmented with discrete bangs and booms over the years. I first started doing this 25 years ago using a Synclavier (not mine!) to build the soundtrack for a now iconic sequence where Killer Whales beach themselves to grab seals from a beach. By removing the initial transient with a cut or short fade the precise source of the sound can disguised; the natural history documentary audience is a conservative one and they are quick to complain if the sound is “un-natural” – so let’s not tell them, right?!

For instance, to make the chorus ‘pop’ or to reverse into a verse.

In game work, sweetners (like other people have mentioned) for any sound that needs ‘impact’. Mostly though, it’s rough to find very good explosion sounds to use for, well, explosions.
