yea S-layer is my favorite out of these. I also use nvk_Create a lot.

sweetener layers

Not better or worse. Both are necessary. Referencing/trying to recreate the original AND creating your own take on a redesign. For a portfolio either could work. Doing your own version is probably the way to go.

Yea, there may be. I think it was this one I had issues with for some reason.

@@daviddumaisaudio Reaper has a weirdthing with its encoder sometimes. I converted HDR footage from PS5 for a redesign and it messed up the colors, even after converting it to SDR. And it played properly in VLC so its a big odd. Still great vid and use of nvk create. Was considering either that or weaponiser. Still deciding.

I break my work sessions into something like this: 1. Record & edit 2. Design 3. Assemble 4. Implement It’s not that one session is less or more important than the others, I just wouldn’t “design” recorded sounds in the same session as a redesign. I try to split them up like this to keep me focused and batch similar tasks together. 1. Recording and editing is to make the recorded sounds be as clean and useable as possible 2. Design is to experiment with processing, layering, fx, etc. and see what kind of results I can create 3. Assemble is to put ready sounds together in a design that makes sense 4. Implement is to place them in a game engine (which I don’t personally do much of) I think it’s really important to know how sounds get designed from recording to final sound but at the same time, when working on projects, you won’t always have the time to do that.

I personally like to create and use my own sounds when possible. I know not everybody feels this way and that it’s not always possible, but yea.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! That has been bothering me for so long and I am in the process of looking at getting a new mic, stand, and shock mount which will hopefully fix this issue.

there's a couple of showcases on this shit platform

yea, it doesn't seem to work for me though.

@@daviddumaisaudio OK

depends. Noise floor usually refers to self noise from the electronics. The NT5 is pretty quiet at around 16db of self noise. The recorder will be the other device which will affect noise floor. In terms of room noise, reverberation, etc. it depends on the room you are recording in. If its in a small empty room with no carpets and nothing on walls, then reverb will seep into the recording. If you record in a closet filled with clothes and carpet on the ground, you probably wont have much other noise than what you are recording.

@@daviddumaisaudio I was more concerned about white noise inside the room rather than self-noise from the electronic devices, but your answer was very helpful! Thank you so much for your kind response!

Not at the moment.

@@daviddumaisaudio you should make one. I would buy it!

@@kobraz5684 Note Taken :)

Depends what your goal is. Generally speaking, if you are applying to a gaming studio, they are not looking for a movie sound designer and vice versa. If you're a freelancer, then yea, you could have a reel with both.

@@daviddumaisaudio Yeah, I didn't mention my plan is to become a freelancer. Just started practicing sound design this year, I have only 3 clips yet, one of them a movie.
