Behind the Scenes of PAVS Music

Producing sound effects using household items

I have managed to produce some excellent swoosh sound effects using household items; simply by swinging these objects in front of my condenser microphone, I was able to generate some astonishing swoosh sounds.

I did use a range of post effects to simulate a different style of ambience, stereo and sound signal frequencies using post effects virtual instruments.

The making of my 3D Box-Shots

I wanted to share some behind the scenes of when it came to creating PAVS Music. I wanted to create 3D box shots myself, but simply had no extensive knowledge of how to go about this.

So hours after self-educating myself, looking around, I found a way to create these awesome 3D box shots for each of my sound effects packs and background instrumental packs.

By using the free online 3D software “Blender 3D”, I was able to model my 3D box shots. Trust me, I spent hours learning this process and the user interface, and it’s a lot more complicated than it looks!!!!

I had to simulate the lights inside this program to make my 3D box shots look good; this part was a little bit frustrating, as it simply was not working as I wanted it to, but with hours of watching online tutorials and learning this process, I finally managed to get there! YAY!

I was then able to export my 3D render into GIMP, where I was able to post edit and colour correct all of my 3D images. It took me many hours to figure this out and learn this whole process.

I am kind of proud on how well this turned out, check it out below!

The making of my sound effects

I will add more to this page soon on the making of some of my sound effects. I hope you guys enjoy all of my sound effects and background instrumentals.
