Sci-Fi Explosion Sound Design Contest Have your sound design judged by Paul Stoughton

To celebrate the new Explosive Energy Library by Paul Stoughton, Krotos & Penguin Grenade are running a sound design contest.

Take part in the contest by submitting your best sound design for a sci-fi explosion clip. Be as creative as you like, but limit yourself to using only your own recordings from around the house, which is how Paul Stoughton designed the Explosive Energy Library.

“Explosive Energy started as a challenge to myself. Sometimes I like to impose strict limitations on what I can use to design something, finding that it can be more inspiring to be backed into a corner than having every tool at your disposal. I wanted to make explosions only from processed source recordings from inside my apartment. Slapping cushions, stomping on the floor, swinging pillowcases, blowing on microphones, anything I could think of was fair game.” – Paul Stoughton Read Interview What are the rules?

Designing Sound Libraries for Hyperspace

Krotos are excited to introduce the new Explosive Energy Sound Library: a game-changing Sci-Fi Explosions Sound Effects Library by award-winning sound designer Paul Stoughton (Skywalker Sound / Star Wars VR). After working as Audio Lead in Immersive Audio at Skywalker Sound, Paul embarked on a journey to bring his Sci-Fi sound design explorations to the market. Read the interview below to hear all about it!

1. Hi Paul, thanks for taking the time to talk to us today. Is it a busy time for you at the moment? What have you been working on recently?

Hey! I’m fortunate to be pretty busy at the moment. I’ve officially launched Penguin Grenade as an audio outsourcing business as well as a sound library provider. I’ve been working with the amazing audio team over at Gearbox for the last few months, and then will be moving on to new exciting projects starting in March.

2. We’re curious to find out a bit more about your background. How did you get into your field, and what made you start Penguin Grenade, and releasing your own libraries?

I went to a small digital arts college in Emeryville, CA called Ex’pression. I had been a musician most of my life and was planning on getting into music recording/production. A while into school, when I found out what sound design was and got my first opportunities to create sound for picture, I was hooked. The last class I took before graduating was game audio. I knew right away that it was what I wanted to do. I loved the process of switching between the creative and the technical, allowing each to inform the other. Right before graduation a friend got me an opportunity to take over his contract as an Audio Support Engineer at EA, helping their interactive teams who at the time were working on games like Dead Space II and Dante’s Inferno. That was the start of the last 11 years, which spanned many studios and teams that I had the great privilege of learning from.

I started making libraries last year partly as a way to get better at specific areas of sound design but mostly to release sound into the wild and unleash its full potential through the creativity of others. An unexpected benefit has been all the sound people that I’ve gotten to talk to who I otherwise wouldn’t have met. I enjoyed that so much that I started a policy where if you purchase a library I’ll jump on a video chat and answer any questions you have about how the content was recorded or designed. Just get in touch after you purchase the library through Krotos!

3. We’d like to hear more about your work on Star Wars VR! What’s it like stepping into the Star Wars Universe as a sound designer?

I learned so much about sound by working on Star Wars VR titles. Doing it as an employee of Skywalker Sound added an extra dimension, since the sonic legacy was all around me. The biggest challenge was maintaining the integrity of the legacy content while giving it the depth and believability needed for something that you can interact within virtual reality. A great example is the light saber. Cutting saber swings to picture is a whole different ball game than designing content for and tuning a dynamic system that responds to your slightest inputs and still “feels” like the user would expect. It takes a while, but you tend to get a sixth sense for what does and doesn’t fit into the universe.

4. Has your work in Immersive Audio and Game Audio influenced your process for creating sound libraries?

My process for library creation is inseparable from my game audio background. The whole idea of making a modular library of interchangeable parts was what started the first library (Pulse Energy Weapons), which was similar to how I’ve designed layered weapon systems in video games. This fit perfectly into the Weaponiser workflow, which to me was similar to what I’d do in game audio middleware. Even in linear design, the speed at which I can generate unique content is greatly improved when I have these kits of modular sonic parts.

About This Library » 5. You’ve just released the Explosive Energy Library for Weaponiser. How did this library come together, and what was your inspiration for it?

Explosive Energy started as a challenge to myself. Sometimes I like to impose strict limitations on what I can use to design something, finding that it can be more inspiring to be backed into a corner than having every tool at your disposal. I wanted to make explosions only from processed source recordings from inside my apartment. Slapping cushions, stomping on the floor, swinging pillowcases, blowing on microphones, anything I could think of was fair game. The design relied heavily on processing since these raw recordings were far from where they needed to end up. For the more synthetic results, wavetables were created from source and used in Serum. At the end of the process I feel like I discovered many more interesting techniques than I would have given no limitations on what I could record.

6. Are there any productions that influenced your approach to Sci-Fi and weapon sound, or anything you’ve seen recently that stood out to you?

I’m a huge fan of the work Travis Naas did on the weapons in COD Advanced Warfare. He was nice enough to share some insight on his process when I reached out, so much of my approach is inspired by him. As for film/tv inspiration, there are too many to name. While I was making the Pulse Energy Weapons Library, I was watching the first season of Altered Carbon on Netflix, and was really impressed by the weapon design in that.

7. As a Weaponiser user, how do you incorporate your Krotos software into your work? Any cool tricks or techniques you could share?

Weaponiser has become an integral part of my workflow for interactive weapon design. You can’t really preview how automatic weapon layers will stack at the proper fire rate without tedious editing in a DAW. With Weaponiser I’m able to drop in the layers and tweak as if I was in a game audio middleware program like Wwise, greatly tightening the iteration loop. As far as cool tricks, I think my approach is pretty straight forward. The most useful instinct I’ve been working on recently is knowing when to add a layer vs. remove one from a sound. More often than not you’ll make the sound better by stripping out something that doesn’t need to be there, rather than adding something that isn’t.

8. And finally, do you have any advice to pass on to those interested in getting into sound library design?

My advice for getting into sound library design is that you should do it for any reason other than making money. Find a subject you’re excited about recording/designing and enjoy the experience of creation. You’ll end up with the best result that way. Maybe pick a category of sound that you’d like to get better at, something you may not currently have a chance to design at work if sound design is your profession.

Krotos in 2020: A Look back at this year’s highlights

As the longest year in recent history comes to an end, we wanted to take a look back at what we did at Krotos in 2020.

2020 started with a bang for us! In January, our team set off from Scotland to LA for NAMM, the world’s biggest audio trade-show. Here we announced the release of our first soft-synth, Concept!

In February, we played a big part in the second Edinburgh Festival of Sound, where we hosted talks and masterclasses, and got to meet lots of great folks from all over the world too.

As for everyone, everywhere, things took an unexpected turn in March, so we left our office space in central Edinburgh to continue our work remotely. (Shoutout to our office plant, Barbara. We hope you’re hanging in there.)

Despite the turn of events and a little re-shuffle of a few plans, we’ve achieved a lot in 2020, so here’s a look back at what happened:

2 New Plugins & 3 Software Updates

In 2020 we released our first soft-synth, Concept! Concept picked up SonicState’s ‘Best Plugin of NAMM 2020’ and was featured at the top of the MusicTech Best Software at NAMM list.

Later in the year, we also shipped another new plugin, Simple Concept, a simplified version with an incredibly easy-to-use interface. Simple Concept is also the first that was worked on from start to finish by a completely remote team.

This year, our development team also completed and released three major software updates for Dehumaniser 2 v1.3.1, Weaponiser 1.3.0 and Concept 1.2.0 to improve our plugins.

We also released our biggest bundle yet, the Krotos Everything Bundle – which will be going through another big update for 2021, stay tuned!

Concept Simple Concept 12 New Sound Libraries

In 2020 we’ve released more libraries in a year than ever before! Our in-house team recorded and designed Futurism, Ammo & Reloads and the User Interface Library, with lots in the works for 2021.

From our partners this year, we’ve released Paul Staughton’s popular Pulse Energy Weapons Library, as well as a whole bunch of library content from Soundmorph and Soundbits.

Sound Libraries 10 Live Streams

This year we introduced a new Live Stream Series, to help everyone stay connected while we can’t travel to events and see you in person. These streams now happen regularly on our Youtube channel, where we’ve covered sound design tutorials, project walkthroughs, pro tips and tricks, and special guest episodes.

Live Streams will continue to be a regular project for Krotos in 2021, so we look forward to seeing you again virtually next year.

Live Streams 8 Free Sound Libraries and a special Holiday Gift!

2020 also saw the introduction of our monthly free sound library campaign. Since May, we’ve sent out 8 new mini sound libraries to our subscribers.

As a special holiday gift, we’re offering our subscribers all the free sounds from 2020 this December. So if you’ve not subscribed so far, or are missing the full collection, you can complete your collection by signing up this month.

Free Sounds Happy holidays, and see you in 2021!

Thanks to all our customers, subscribers and friends for helping us get to where we are this year. It’s been fantastic hearing how our products have helped you complete your projects under challenging circumstances, seeing the work you’ve done, and being able to connect virtually this year.

2021 will no doubt bring you further news from Krotos, so we’ll see you again soon!

Happy holidays from the Krotos Team!

Vocal Layering, Foley Performance and Library Blending with Reformer Pro

Tzvi Sherman is a sound designer and re-recording mixer who has worked on films and television shows for Netflix, Warner Bros, Paramount, ABC, and more. (Find him online everywhere.)

Tzvi has taken some time to record three quick demonstrations of his favourite sound design processes with Reformer Pro, which cover vocal layering, Foley performance and library blending. Watch the videos below to learn new tips for making the most out of Reformer Pro!

1. Vocal Layering

“Reformer Pro is a great way to quickly replace or layer in random permutations from your sound effect libraries to create new sounds and vocalisations based on live-input or pre-recorded files.”

Watch how Tzvi layers dog recordings with a black leopard to give this chomper enemy character an alien feel.

2. Foley Performance

“Besides vocal layering, Reformer Pro is a great way to quickly perform Foley layers with just your voice, and replace them with any material to create believable and detailed coverage.”

Here’s a quick Witcher 3 re-design, using a microphone input to instantly perform the character’s movements.

3. Sound Library Blending

“One of the biggest strengths of Reformer Pro is its ability to seamlessly blend up to four sound libraries simultaneously, allowing you to mix random permutations of effects until you arrive at exactly the sound you want.”

In the final video, we’re experimenting with blending libraries to design a nasty aggressive robot sound.
