This week we’re exploring the use of effects in sound design for creating and altering sounds for film and TV, games, radio or podcasts, character voice creation, synth patches, sample processing, or even live performances and music production.
We gathered Dan Deacon, Jason LaRocca, and Ryan Miller - three sonic producers who started as solo artists or members of bands, but now also work with studios to score and mix for film and games - to discuss the business of creating sound for the picture, differences in approach and creative process, the journey from music production to film scoring and sound design.
Preset Expansion Pack for Effect Rack
Get a behind-the-scenes look at the sound design techniques of Jason LaRocca with this free expansion pack of custom presets for film scoring and mixing inspired by his work on films and series like Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, Morbius, Godfather of Harlem, and Prey for the Devil.
A FREE collection of otherworldly sound design presets, exclusively for the Soundtoys Effect Rack.

"Sie-Q is definitely a color EQ. Its top end is so nice and open without getting harsh. The mid bands in conjunction with the Drive knob can give you that little push to make things stick out in a non-annoying way."
One of the more advanced uses for creative delay effects is processing drums, so we put together these tutorials to help you achieve some more unique drum effects with EchoBoy.
"Decapitator on drums is a no-brainer – it’s the first insert on the drum bus of my template. The 'E' style is especially great for beefing things up while still keeping the top-end nice."
"When my sounds need more power I know Soundtoys will get me right."
