Sound engineer here! If you want a tip for working on more complex renders/bigger projects where a lot is happening in your animation, the way I learned in school (we were using ProTools mind you) is that you sort of make a “map” of what sounds you want to place where with empty sound clips. For example: your first pass may be looking for places to place footstep sfx. You scrub frame by frame and see where it’d be appropriate for steps, creaky floorboards, shifting gravel, etc. Your next pass may be for clothing movement, or room tones, etc. Each time you just put a blank SFX clip with the exact duration of time that sound would take up. That way when you bring your sounds in, it’s just a matter of dragging and dropping things into place. Then you can do your editing pass(reverb and effects), then your mixing pass(balancing volume between SFX, ADR, music, etc.) It cuts down time you’d spend trying to find the perfect duration of a sound clip that you may or may not even end up using/swapping for another and makes for really sharp editing.

Blender community has lots of tutorials but I don't know why your channel has a supreme and premium kind of vibe. The quality content you produce is mind-blowing.

Big fan of the fact he could have just edited out the failed double rendering attempt - but decided to leave in because it helps normalise a trial and error mindset

Genius. I'm so glad that I stumbled across this.

I love that Kurzgesagt referrence!

I can't express through words how much I needed this. Thank you

This is legit the tutorial I always wanted from you. Your 3D work is amazing, but a hidden secret to the high quality of your videos is your exceptional sound design skills. Thank you so much!

So talented!

Every time you release a new tutorial, my work flow gets faster and goes to the next level, and i thank YOU for that! :)

Loved the part of the tutorial where he says: "Sometimes things work, and sometimes they don't." I've learned so much.

Congrats on 100k! I love that you made this tutorial, I think it is an actual needed one instead of most overdone KZfaq tutorials. Great work!

Perfect timing, I've been looking for a optimal sound design workflow to finally finish a small project of mine for quite a while Thanks a lot

That double rendering technique would have been amazing!

Oh lord!! This video popped up randomly… Dude.. This is one of the best tutorials I have seen on any subject! You don’t waste a lot of time, you are explaining stuff really well, and you are showing all steps live, with no confusing edits… Very well done 👌 Subscribed!!

The excitement in your voice, your willingness to teach us. perfect it is :)

ima be honest... this was probably the best "blender" tutorial ive seen in a while

You said it that sound stuff are coming and wow. Its very nice to see how your music knowledge is aplied with your visual skills. Thank you for your hard work, tutorials, tips and tricks. The road to 1M followers is clear. Good job and good luck!

Man I ALWAYS learn super useful things when I watch your any video. We are so lucky to have you as a part of Blender community

This... this is seriously one of the best tutorials ive ever seen.

15:46 - You can set one Blender app to render using GPU, and the other to render with CPU, then you should get MOAR frames. Although, the newer versions of Blender can utilize both the GPU and CPU at the same time if set to "GPU compute," as long as you enable it under Preferences -> System -> Cycles Render Devices (at the top of the window).

Update: You've quickly grown into my favourite CG-Tutorials KZfaqr. Those tips n tricks are just amazing. Big respect from Zurich.

Thank you!!! I always admired your sound design and I was always wandering how do you do it. You explained everything in such a nice and clear way, thank you! ❤️

01:49​ this is something familiar that I've felt doing art as a hobby and now you've put it into words! also I love how 14:06 is basically like the equivalent of trying to use 100% of your brain​

Soundly blew my mind, exactly what i needed. Also i just realized this is the same channel that helped my animate a smooth camera for a product video some months ago. Randomly stumbled onto it again, and no surprise - the rest of the tutorials are even more amazingly well done. You have my thanks and my subscription.

Thanks very much putting sound design into perspective! I do sound editing occasionally & it's great to hear you point out the 'think of it as an arrangement of words' thing which I didn't think of before. Also great to see how fast you can put it together in Resolve, learned so much with this one video. Best of all, the Soundly tip! You've got a new fan (and sub) here 😊

Sometimes I could cry with happiness because there is so much incredibly high-quality content on KZfaq! THANK YOU❤️

Halfway through and already learned alot ❤️

i don't even care if i learn anything, your shows are just so fun to watch

I studied sound design for 4 years and you just BLEW MY MIND OFF

I subscribed when you whipped out Resolve 17. Good man! Looking forward to learning more from you!

This is just beautifull. I am pleased to be adding more tools to my toobox and to think I have struggled so long trying to make my own sounds for my short clips while something like this existed out there. I am crying tears of joy endlessly... A bit dramatic but you get the point.

Hello FjordMan! You are so underrated! Things you are talking about are important fundamentals for the advanced Blender users and artists! Thanks so much for sharing this experience to us!

Awesome would be an understatement. Of the countless sound design tutorials I've watched on KZfaq, this one easily takes the cherry! Thanks a lot man. Subscribed!

Thank you so much for recommending soundly! It's the tool I needed

Amazing! Have been following your channel for years and you have been one of the most valuable creators out there. Thanks for all of this information and inspiration!

Hey dude this is pretty neat, didnt know I needed to work on sound design for 3d which I find very helpful for future projects. Can't wait to give it a watch

Your Working spot looks sooo Chill man, nice and compact with that good wood textured walls n everythin, its a chill place!

So glad to find people talking about this software!

His enthusiasm makes this tutorial much more fun than a regular boring tutorial

Sound is so often overlooked. Thanks for Soundly. Great find

Just awesom! Both sound design topic explained and storytelling! 🫰

shoop! this was excellent into! thanks for being so generous. And congrats on your latest 25m hits!

THANKS FOR THIS!! Im about 2 months into my blender/MagicaVoxel Journey and Im really finding that its been something ive loved for years but never sat down to actually work out. That being said I have an Idea for making Still Images and producing 3D Spatial Sounds to accompany them. Im hoping that this, being my first tutorial about the subject, your video helps me take off on the right foot and help me start producing the things in my scattered creative brain! Thank you again!

Hey I am a learner in blender i hv seen many tutorials on blender but ur channel has so amzing final renders including sound design many other blender youtubers dont focus on sound design but ur animations looks mindblowing and on top of that ur sound designing tempts to watch the entire animations hope to see you going forward 😊

Your videos are amazing! You're really making super-duper tutorial! (Nice kurzgesagt hoodie!)

Loved the double blender render attempt

I spent an entire day trying to find a video that explains this things and I didn’t find anything. Two days later this appears in my homepage. Thank you very much

hoooly shit, this is exactly the tutorial I needed as a 3d artist for a long time, thank you very much!

This is the most useful Sound design video on whole of KZfaq !!!

feel like I've lost years searching, downloading and importing sfx over the internet. where have you been Soundly.

Is no one gonna talk about his kurzgesagt (i think i spelled it correctly) hoodie! He also supports it! 🥳 And the content was awesome too!

Man this is amazing! I’m glad I found you!

love you for your hoodie man. love you more for your contents!

Holy shit, thank you thank you thank you. Amazing video thank you for not only speeding up my workflow on renders, but on editing as a whole! I hope to see your channel thrive even more!

Your tutorials feel like premium high quality content! Love it!!! Btw noticed that you are wearing kurzgesagt hoody

Love your tutorials, i appreciate the effort into this, thanks for introducing me to this freemium tool, gonna make my life so much easier

Super cool and easy to follow tutorial!

big thanks to youtube recommendation algorithm great video man i always wanted to learn sound design now ill watch all your videos

I've always said Blender-Resolve workflow is the best. Awesome tutorial yet again!

Total gold right here. The information here is so rich ! Thanks man!

Perfect as always!

Wow man, that actually turned out great in my opinion! Thanks for the tutorial.

This is awesome. Thank you so much for bringing that up!

audio effects are very important for a video to be entertaining, (id say even more than visual) so thank you for this tutorial :)

What a great art of explaining things. Thank you for your great work.

I have been looking for something where I can have a library of sounds to use for animations. A lot of my stream animation sounds were what I had to make from scratch. This will make that process soooo much quicker and easier!

Love it! This one goes straight into the utility belt :)

Thanks for the Soundly tip. Never heard of it untill now:)

I'm just getting into video editing and this video was super helpful! Thanks

What a great tutorials. Your content is Quality! Thanks so much for sharing!

As always a fantastic tutorial

oh man, thanks so much for mentioning Soundly! I struggle with sound design almost every time, wasting time with googling and downloading the right sounds, only to delete them after few minutes...cant wait to try this, it looks like it would be a huge time saver! (also thanks for those other tips, alhough my workflow is pretty much the same :D)

This is most useful tutorial of 2021. Aweome.

Beautiful tutorial ❤

Didn't know about soundly. That's a game changer for sure. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful! Love your experiment with rendering at the end.😀
