[NEED HELP] - How to create these sounds?

Does anyone have an idea about the software, VST, sound banks, used to create these rather abstract and organic sounds?

I see many great replies here.

However if you are new into sound design, making something similar from the scratch would take you an awful lot of time.

In a such sound collage video creators or even sound engineers use sound libraries. Unless the budget is high and/or sound engineer is a true artist.

I recommend using the simplest and easiest tool for the beginner: Splice (especially for creative sounds). Eventually you can additionally use e.g. Envato Elements or Audio Jungle sound effects for standard foleys. You can of course record few samples on your own too (this is fun!).

The hardest thing is to find the keyword of a sound category. In the video you showed... Uh, there are so many categories of sounds! I would say the main categories are: ASMR, vocal, foley, cinematic and trailer.

If you still have problems with a specific sound, write here and I can help you with that. BUT if you use Splice, you will be flooded with creative sounds and I bet you will find something even more interesting for you!

Sure, there's a really good book (in English) called Refining Sound which taught me everything about synthesis. The Kindle version is available in France here.

Also some really good and free YouTube resources:




(Definitely recommend the first thing he mentions by Sound on Sound, it's free to find)



(longer class from the 80s but the information is just as relevant today, the principles have not changed)


(Kilohearts makes awesome software but even if you don't use their products these short tutorials are fantastic because you can apply the same ideas to many different tools)

A lot of what's happening in your original video involves classic subtractive synthesis (simple synth waveforms modulated in specific ways to picture for effect), but also the principles of learning synthesis will teach you how to mangle field recordings and samples in endless creative ways, even when not using a synth (many plugins and effects will use things such as envelopes/ADSR, LFOs, etc., so understanding these principles gives you a lot of power and control over designing new sounds).

Have fun!
