5 Amazing Sound Design Resources You Should Bookmark
As a sound designer, it pays to keep informed. Learning new things and keeping up to date with what is ‘out there’ is essential. Tools, resources, information - knowing where they are when you need them is important. Additionally, there is a rapidly developing sound design community that surrounds the latest technologies. It is great to get involved and read of the experiences of others in the sound design world.
Find below 5 websites that I find useful and (always) inspirational
1. FILMSOUND
Fimsound is described as a ‘learning Space dedicated to the art of film sound design’. From film sound design history, to composer texts and a catalogue of hundreds of articles sorted by movie title - filmsound is possibly the most comprehensive site on the web regarding the topic of sound and music for film. There is so much information on this site! Also included are articles about TV, gaming and animation sound design, and a section for beginners.
