Due to the increase in video editing and viewing, sound effects have become an in-demand product. As a result, many sound designers may find it worthwhile to build a sound effects library from their recordings in order to make extra money. The following tips give an overview of the steps involved in making a useful library to sell online.
1. Using a mobile hand-held digital recorder, record a huge variety of 48k sample rate single hits and ambiances of all possible types.
2. Using a digital audio workstation (DAW) edit, eq, filter, and normalize these recordings to amp up the volume and take out nasty noises and frequencies.
3. Mix distinct stereo .wav files at 48k 24bit sample rates if possible.
4. As you bounce each file, name them with consistent SKU numbers with three unique letters followed by 5 digits such as AOS00001 Dog Bark 1, AOS00002 Bird Chirp 1 and so on.
5. Make an excel sheet that includes file name, categories, sub-categories, SKU numbers, length, descriptions, keywords, and pricing.
6. Once you have your excel information and .wav files, consider converting the .wavs to both .aiffs for Mac users and .mp3s for web use, making sure that all .mp3s are based on a 44.1k sample rate.
In order to earn several hundred dollars or more per month make sure to create several thousand sound effects. Seek out as many online stores as possible who are willing to license your library online. With a few emails, you should be able to access 10 or more online shops who are ready to market and license your sounds.
