Sound Design
Overview
Introduction
Sound Design is the process of creating custom sound performances for animations, games, and films, including environmental sounds, event sounds, UI sounds, ability sounds, and synthesized sound effects.
We provide the following types of sound design services:
Environmental Audio
Used to build the foundational auditory space of a scene, including natural environments (wind, rain, ecological sounds) and man-made environments (mechanical operations, urban background noise).
⚠️ Unsuitable Types
- Music or rhythmic elements
- Interactive sounds
- Implicit beats in the environment (e.g., clock ticking, mechanical rhythmic sounds)
- Instant interaction sounds in the scene (e.g., door opening, item dropping)
Object Interaction SFX
The core of object sounds is "real-time feedback based on physical properties," emphasizing material and mechanical performance during object interactions.
✅ Suitable Types
- Clear object collision/friction sounds (metal, wood, glass, etc.)
- Quantifiable kinetic intensity sounds (light/heavy hits)
- Sounds of breaking/deformation following physical laws
- Mechanical operation sounds (hinges, gears, etc.)
⚠️ Unsuitable Types
- Abstract sounds without a physical source
- Special effects requiring narrative explanation
- Continuous environmental mechanical sounds
- Biological sounds from characters (breathing, roaring, etc.)
Event SFX
Event sounds are auditory punctuation for game narrative logic, with clear triggering conditions.
✅ Suitable Types
- Task trigger/completion notification sounds
- Player death/level-up/rebirth notification sounds
- Special sounds for level transitions
- Notification sounds for hitting enemy weak points
⚠️ Unsuitable Types
- Background sounds without narrative function
- Player-triggered interactive sounds
- UI operation feedback sounds
- Continuous looping environmental sounds
UI Audio SFX
UI sounds are common feedback sounds in games or software, usually short and interactive.
✅ Suitable Types
- Button operation confirmation sounds
- Menu navigation notification sounds
- Status change notification sounds
- Loading progress feedback sounds
⚠️ Unsuitable Types
- Physical sounds in the game world
- Narrative event sounds
Ability SFX Design
Ability sounds are sounds generated by animations or special effects of super-realistic abilities, often created by non-realistic physics.
✅ Suitable Types
- Energy gathering sounds for magic/technology
- Special attack release sounds
- Character-specific ability sounds
- Weapon charging/switching sounds
⚠️ Unsuitable Types
- Regular physical collision sounds
- Environmental background sounds
- UI operation sounds
- Animation sounds unrelated to abilities
Kinematic Foley
Kinematic Foley refers to sounds that assist animation performances and are synchronized with the visual action frames.
✅ Suitable Types
- Organic creature sounds, including monster or animal sounds (roars, howls)
- Character movement footsteps
- Clothing/gear friction sounds
- Limb movement wind sounds
- Subtle sounds for facial expression changes
⚠️ Unsuitable Types
- Environmental background sounds
- Ability special effects sounds
- Object interaction sounds
Tips
Character-related sounds fall under the voice category. For details, see Voice Recording.
Warning
Due to the performance characteristics of Kinematic Foley, be sure to select "Required" when choosing whether to pair with animation.
Confirm Commission Requirements
Once the project name is confirmed, we can proceed to commission the requirements. Here, we use sound design as an example:
Select the type of sound you need
Sound effects are divided into six categories. For detailed descriptions, refer to the guide.
Select Sound Type Type
Confirm which sound type you need.
Choose Whether to Pair with Animation .
If animation pairing is required, please provide reference videos during production.
Fill in the Required Quantity
Specify the number of sounds needed. EX: If you need multiple variations of footsteps, fill in 2~4.
Add Multiple Types of Requirements
If you need multiple types of sounds commissioned simultaneously, click the "+" button below to add another sound selection block.
Price Estimation
If all the above steps are completed correctly, you can get a price estimate for the sound effects of this type.
