I built a local sound search tool for my studio — no cloud, no subscription

Hey everyone

Spyglass Studio — a search engine that finds the sounds you already have faster. Instead of guessing filenames, type what you feel — "heavy metallic impact with reverb" — and it surfaces the right file from YOUR library. the search engine indexes your files locally and helps you find the right one in seconds instead of hours. Find Similar matches sounds by acoustic waveform (grab directly from Pro Tools). Scene deconstruction, Voice Match, dialogue search, and local stem separation.

I also built Soundtracker (waveform HUD for your Finder that gives you an instant audio preview HUD docked to your file manager — scrub, mark, drag to DAW. Decodes Ambisonics binaurally), Soundoor (Atmos monitor controller up to 9.1.6), and MioDeck (Stream Deck controller built for Pro Tools workflows. Create your own custom controls — HUI transport, plugin automation, macros).

Happy to answer questions.

Ideas for a Foley design

Hey everyone

I'm very new to sound design (just started it as a module for my 2nd year at Uni) and I'm eager to learn as much as I can.

I'm wanting to do foley for a dentist body horror film.

A parasite is breaking out of the main characters mouth. I have a few ideas for this, but I'm interested to see others.

What kind of objects can make these horrible, wet noises?

Also, any tips for using foley as this will also be my first time?

Thank you!

CREW CALL: SOUND DESIGNER!

Hey folks!

I am seeking a sound designer for my Thesis Film at DePaul University! The cut and color is finished and we’re looking for the final piece! The pay is negotiable, I want you to be fairly compensated for your work, however.

The film itself is about a woman grieving her own death and undergoing the final judgement, as she confronts death for taking her own son, she has to cope with the time she wasted. Please let me know if you’re interested in working on such a project!

Thanks yall!

[PAID HIRING] Sound Designer Needed for Youtube Channel

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a sound designer for my YouTube videos about movies, cinema, and film analysis.

Reference for the kind of sound design I'm looking for:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crH2pS_CZto

Details:

  • Budget: ₹300 (~3$) per finished minute. For example, a 15-minute video would pay ₹4,500 (~45$).
  • Workload: Approximately one video per week.
  • Video length: Usually around 10–15 minutes.
  • Audio resources: I have an Epidemic Sound subscription, so you can find good music and sound-effects there rather than creating from scratch.

I'm looking for someone with a good taste for music selection, transitions, atmosphere, and well-placed sound effects like the ScreenPuff edit above to create a polished viewing experience.

Audition (Optional): I've included a short test edit here: test edit. Please add your own sound design to demonstrate your skills. This isn't mandatory, but it would help me assess your work, and would be preferred.

Interested folks can DM me their portfolio, test edit, and availability.

Thanks!

I'm looking for a file explorer to improve my workflow.

Hello! I've been using a free Soundly account as my main file explorer for my sound design workflow but I'm getting stuck due file limits.

My libraries are getting HUGE and I've been using the horrible windows explorer to find sounds and I was wondering if there's an app that can help me with this.

I used Explorer by Sound Particles but it's just not good. Feels so cluttered, slow and I can't drag and drop to Nuendo like the soundly app.

I've also considered paying the yearly soundly suscription because honestly, it's a bang for a buck.

Every help will be appreciated!

Interesting/unique vocal effects?

I was curious what do people do to methodically get creative vocal sound effects that go beyond something like having a low formant double, for example video game character voices sound design (for example, league of legends). By throwing completely random sounds in a vocoder, I managed to get a pretty cool sounding masked effect (something similar to Urgot in league of legends) by using..... random cod zombie scream as a carrier? Is it really just throwing stuff and seeing what sticks? Does anyone teach this anywhere?
