The Need For Sound Effects
During the production of my trance music demos, I soon discovered that something was missing. I needed something extra, something to enhance the tracks and carry them further, and to make them stand out and be extra exciting.
I Needed Sound Effects.
The Next Step
As I stated on my home page, I needed Sound Effects to enhance my music tracks and that’s how I started to create them.
I gradually built a collection of Sounds, and with them, experience in creating them.
I started (SoundFxProducer.com) to take my knowledge of Sound Effects to the next level, and further develop new ways of using Sound Effects. To raise awareness of how useful they are and how many applications they can be applied to.
I love creating sound effects, editing, processing and using them. This is why I want people like You to Benefit, by passing on my experience and knowledge of Sound Effects.
