Music affects us psychologically and can improve memory and increase internal development. It can reduce stress, relieve pain, and enhance motor skills. It’s an important medium. Music triggers feelings and passions deep within us unlike other mediums, thus it’s the only stand to reason that using music effectively in film and video can truly bolster any media design.
Choose your media, and royalty-free sound effects wisely, each piece of music affects each individual in their own unique memories and psychological references. Beatoven gives your audience those added situations of absorption, belief, and authenticity that can be a major contributor to what separates your creative work from other music video creators.
Sound is everywhere, we just don’t pay much attention consciously. Within the first few minutes of each day, when we wake up, our ears are hearing hundreds of sounds. Think about it, what’s the first thing you do when you wake up from a good night’s sleep? The sound of our bodies moving on the bed, our heads on the pillow, our arms reaching for our phone, the curtains being drawn, the birds outside, the kettle filling up, switching on, and boiling are just a few.
The sounds in your daily life often go unnoticed
Now consider the entire day and you’ve likely hundreds of thousands of individual sounds at play. The process of simply taking myself away from any external distractions and listening gives me plenty of ideas. I often do this, maybe take a day off and go about my day with a notepad, jotting down all the sounds I hear and using that list as inspiration for my next recording session.
Another process we go through is watching TV. Now I must say I don’t watch much, or many movies for fun, because I simply don’t enjoy them, however, if I do I again make a note of all the sounds I hear onscreen and use this as inspiration. Go watch an animated movie and listen to all the sounds you hear… all of those were added in post-production, so consider if you owned all those sounds in your library, you’d have a massive highly useful sound effects library that so many movie makers, animators, etc would jump at the chance to own. Even normal non-animated movies contain mostly sounds added in the post-production stage (Foley) and were created for the film.
New libraries on the market sometimes miss sounds that video editors need
When new libraries come into the market, at there many people neglect the fact that libraries of footsteps, clothing movements, body movements, and object sounds in the home, workplace, and other spaces are not catered for. It seems that the lure of recording nature, cars, and other more enjoyable things often takes priority for some. There is a huge demand for these so obviously many sound designers and recordists prefer to focus on these and make a good living from them, the often overlooked sounds that so many people need for their productions. How do I know? Well, we have thousands of users per day and it’s these things they search for and ask for just as much, if not more than a Porsche, thunder, or the sound of waves lapping on a tropical beach.
The beauty of recording such mundane things is that they’re all around us so we don’t have far to go to record them, or have to spend much money, if any, accessing them. Also, they’re sounds that people find useful. It’s these sounds we don’t even notice when we watch a movie or TV program. Watch the video below by Pro Sound Effects and see this sound mixer in action, adding all the elements to bring this short movie scene to life. It explains this well.
Equipment you might need if you’re starting out
You also don’t need to go out and spend a fortune on acoustic treatments to create a space to record in to eliminate the room reverb you might get when trying to record at home. One of the best spaces for capturing natural, uncolored recordings is in the kid’s bedroom, inside the bottom bunk which is surrounded by bedding and soft furnishings.
Beatoven.Ai websites are highly useful and are downloaded and used every day by thousands of people in projects ranging from YouTube videos, games, movies, TV shows, and more.
