In my last post<\/a> I talked about what this scene needs. I did some research and creative story making to come up with the fictional town of Houlgate. Now that we know where we are, let\u2019s build the first few sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully Unity<\/strong> and FMOD<\/strong> have a robust knowledge base and tutorials that provide me with plenty of information (a lot of it that I don\u2019t understand\u2026). Again, I am starting with a Viking Village scene. This is widely known to Unity users because it is a free template. The scene comes functioning with the terrain, buildings, and props. It\u2019s a terrific place to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I decided to follow the video tutorial closely for my first few sounds. I have a nice library of VSTs and am building up a library of SFX. In a course I took years ago on Performance Art and Sound Design, we did a lot of field recordings and creating sound for installations using Metasynth<\/a>. I\u2019m also building up the library from some of the sounds available on Freesound.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first sound I worked with was the sound of the torches. It\u2019s a very simple loop and the tutorial was important in also teaching me about how phasing would occur. Each torch starts the audio in a random spot in the track in order to avoid phasing issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
