In this video, Jesse Freeman, walks through the process of creating sound and music for 2D games. Jesse will go through the tools available to 2D game developers ranging from specialized chip tune sound effect generators like BFXr to full featured sound editing programs. This video will tell you the strength and weakness of each when it comes to picking a game’s audio direction.
- [Instructor] Let's talk about tools…for making game sound effects.…While I don't have an extensive background in sound design,…there are a few tools that I use to help me out.…Perhaps the most important one that I use is Bfxr,…which is a free tool you can get online…for generating out sound effects.…Bfxr and the original Sfxr allow you to create…authentic chip-tune sound effects.…There are several sound templates to choose from.…You can fine tune each of the sound effect settings,…and you can also randomize and mutate the sound…to help you find what you're looking for.…
Let's take a look at the program and a few of its options.…Here you can see I have Bfxr open.…As you go through and click on the buttons,…it'll automatically generate out random sounds for you.…Now, a lot of these, as I said, are random,…so you don't have a lot of control…over what they sound like.…If you're using these templates…for each of the different sound effects,…they'll give you a basic place to start with.…Some of the things you can also do…
