When I’m creating sound effects for clients, I prefer to use a mix of audio that I record myself and licensed source audio from libraries, as this gets usually me the best results and creates a completely unique sound effect. Which method do I use to make sound effects for the games?

In this article, I list my favourite places to get audio for sound effects, including some incredible free resources, as well as the equipment I use to record my own sounds and my recommended choices for game-ready sound packs.


I’ve been really enjoying it and, now that I’ve had the chance to make a lot of different sound effects for games, I wanted to share some of the resources that I’ve found the most useful. There are plenty of free and paid sound effects available online but, unfortunately, while there’s definitely a lot of choice, not all of them will be any good for using in a game.īy trade I’m a game composer and I started offering sound design services a couple of years ago as well.
