How to Buy Sound Effects and Production Music
You need to buy sound effects but aren't sure what you can use them for or how to buy them. This 'How To' is for those that are new to sound effects and production music
1. Think about the emotion that you are trying to convey with your project. By using a sound or music soundtrack that compliments or heightens this emotion, you stand out and the whole project feels higher quality.
2. Sound effects (also known as SFX, sound FX, or audio effects) and production Music (background music) are sounds created to enhance your production. Your 'production' may be for TV, radio, film, podcasts, viral videos, ringtones, toys, new media, or computer presentations.
3. Learn that the best sound effects are recorded from an original sound and original source. For example you can buy the sound of a door being slammed because a professional sound-effects recording artist has recorded an actual door being slammed in isolation. They have used a top quality microphone and have mastered the sound afterwards to make it sound perfectly clean. Production music is recorded by a musician or band and made available for use.
4. Learn that sound effects and production music are used to give information without the use of dialogue. For example we may see a couple inside a cabin but we HEAR a winter storm sound effect coming from outside. Additionally, we hear tension-filled background music to create a real atmosphere. Professional, cleanly recorded sound effects / production music highlight or punctuate an idea or emotion in your production. It is very noticeable when it is omitted or a poor quality sound has been used – an excellent sound effect should blend in seamlessly.
5. Find that you need several sound effects, then consider buying a CD that includes a range of well-recorded sounds. If you need just one sound, search for a large sound effects library online and download the one sound you need. Downloadable sounds come in: MP3, WAV or AIFF. Save them in your music folder so you know where to find them. Then, import into your project.
6. Understand that before you make your purchase from an online sound effects / production music library a reputable company will offer a toll free number or online support. Listen to the free preview before you make your purchase but realize it is in a low-resolution format – when you make your purchase, you will receive the sound / music in it’s highest resolution format. Make sure there is a money-back guarantee and a contact or support phone number if you have any questions.
7. Remember, if you have a great idea and want a professional finished product, make sure you use top-quality sound effects.
