Hi. Last week, Sonniss.com posted a pack of 10GB+ high-quality game audio samples. I haven’t gone through all yet but there are some nice sounds in there, so check it out if you’re interested.
Anyhow, this episode’s starting sound is a zipper sample straight out of that pack.
To get things going, I’m using one of my sound design workhorses in CDP, blur. It transforms the zipper sample into a sweet textural sort of sound. The “points” & “overlap” settings help with defining and controlling the details of the blurry motion. There are no rules here, as far as I can understand, so I just go by trial & error when setting them.
