Tron Sound Design

This sound design is influenced by this tutorial video , thought we are using a different clip and source sounds.

The most important part of this process is searching for sounds. Finding the right sounds will mean less editing and manipulation later, and also a more believable sound for the audience. The Matt from the tutorial provides a few helpful search terms to find sounds that are related to the feel of the scene.

The first word is energy. I’m also looking for sounds that have an electricity to them. Other words that might work: drone, hum etc.

I also searched Lom which is a maker of interesting microphones that can be used to record electrical signals. I then spent quite a while just looking for interesting sounds before starting to edit them.

Hint: When working with many items it is a good idea to be able to solo and unsolo the items themselves instead of having to reach over to the tracks. You can set up a keyboard shortcut for this.
