I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get into foley. It gets you thinking, and excited to go out for some field recording.

He outlines how to effectively put together a sound effects library as well as a guide on how a number of Hollywood SFX were actually created. The Sound Effects Bible by Ric Viers is an awesome resource for getting your imagination flowing. I have articles and tutorials to get you up to speed. It’s freakin’ nuts! You get an all in one processing rack for 30 bucks that runs through your computer, plus you can control it all with midi. If this sounds like Japanese right now, don’t worry.

Basically, it gives you all of the plugins and processing power of Logic Pro X, but in a live application, and for $29.99. Mainstage 3 is one of the coolest pieces of software I’ve embraced. I managed to get it down in a year, and don’t worry: I’ll have a class up for the basics soon. Pro Tools has a huge learning curve. If you buy it, be ready to do some learning. Seriously, pull up a Pixar behind the scenes video such as the one for Monster’s University and look at the computer screen: they’re using Pro Tools! Now I’m going to be very upfront with this. There’s a reason it’s the industry standard for audio editing. Those familiar with any version of Pro Tools know how powerful this software really is. The block style tracks worked well for him. One of my close friends took a liking to Logic specifically for writing music. However, with more control comes a higher learning curve. Essentially, it takes Garageband’s tools and beefs them up with more control, and better plugins. You have much more powerful tools, and can accomplish even more. Logic Pro X is basically GarageBand on steroids.
However, the benefits are awesome! The software comes with a lot of free audio files, and has some really outstanding templates to help you get started. It’s much more powerful than Audacity in my opinion, and also has a little bit of a learning curve. Garageband is a free piece of software - exclusive to the Mac that also allows you to record, and edit audio. The Mac installation is a little tricky, but I will have a tutorial up shortly. The interface is a little clunky, but it’s still a great place to start. I used this when I was first starting out, and I know plenty of budding audiophiles that started with it as well. Audacity is a free piece of software that allows you to record, and edit audio on a Mac or a PC.
