What is Sound Design: Create Impressive Atmosphere in Your Movies with Sound Design

Sound design is the process of determining, editing or modifying the structure and properties of a sound. This process extends from the source of the sound, to the arrangement of the sound, and finally to the environment in which the sound will be used.

sound design; music is made in three ways as human voices (cries, rabarba) and effects. While these sound designs are used together in some projects, only music may be sufficient for some projects. All three elements have a very wide range. Every media you watch has a sound design. Without sound design, videos cannot convey the desired message and are not impressive.

Sound design is an essential part of media for film, television, video games, animation, advertising and other types of media. Sound design is also important for music production, conferences and events, and artistic performances. Foley for audio is the same thing as color/correction in video. In short, sound design has an active and important role in every branch of the media production sector.

Sound design is a complex process in itself. Because sometimes thousands of sounds may be required to create the perception of reality of a video. In addition, sound design differs from project to project, and each project has its own dynamic. As BiberSA, we are aware of the role of sound design in the media. For this reason, in addition to meeting all the conditions listed above, we offer clear and high quality sound with our advanced technology when designing sound.

What is Foley: Step into the World of Sound Effects

Foley refers to the use of sounds recorded in the real world, called sound effects, in media content such as movies, television, video games. 

Name given by Jack Foley. Jack Foley was a sound engineer working for Universal Pictures. In the early 1920s, most of the sounds used in movies were not recorded in real life. That's why Jack Foley started recording the sounds in movies in real life and popularized the recording of sounds in movies in real life.

Foley sounds are recorded using various objects. For example, opening and closing a door to open a door, using shoes to express that a character is walking. These sounds are superimposed on the dialogues and music in movies and are used to reflect real-life sounds. As might be expected, the sound effects have a very wide range. 

Foley sounds are most commonly used in the voice-over and dubbing fields for film, television, video games and animations.. These media types use Foley sounds, since while real-life sounds are used, elements such as characters' movements, ambient sounds, and other sounds may not be recorded in real life. For example, sounds that show a character walking may not be recorded in real life, so Foley sounds are used. In addition, Foley voices are used for dubbing, as the voices are not recorded in real life.

Foley is part of sound design. It is used for dubbing as well as voice-over areas such as commercials and promotional films. Foley, which requires creativity and a very good ear, and whose design and application can be done by professionals, is designed in cooperation with an effects specialist and a sound engineer.

What Steps Do We Follow While We Do Sound Design?

Sound design includes many steps and stages. Typically, we follow these steps for sound design:

  2. Audio recordings: If foley is required depending on the type of content, that is, we start to take sound recordings for effects or we use your sound recordings in our archive. Recordings can be real animal sounds, human voices, ambient sounds (ambient ambiences), rabarba, sound effects, and other sound sources.
  3. Audio editing: After preparing the sound recordings, we arrange according to the scenes in this step. At this stage, our goal is to ensure that the sound is natural and realistic. In this step, we determine the duration, volume, tone and other properties of the sound. We complete this step with our strong technical infrastructure and our expert sound engineer team.
  4. Sound effects: Sound effects are applied to the video or media at this stage. We place the sound effects in the most realistic way. For example, if the content has a vehicle transition, we'll level the vehicle transition so that it can be heard from near to far.
  5. Audio equalization and mixing: Sound equalization and mixing is a technical process. During this process, we adjust the volumes so that their level is equal, and if there are sounds that need to overlap, in this process.
  6. mastering: The mastering process is a process called the final touch. We do this to create the final sound. We adjust the volume, tone, and other properties for the content at this stage. To ensure that the sound is natural and appropriate, we level and serve according to the broadcasting medium.
