    Hello Creators!

    Here’s my new pack: “Anime Combat Sounds“

     

    YouTube Preview

    List of SFX included

     

    The approach for this pack was to create sounds in the anime style, I loved that genre and I wanted to see how this type of sounds are created. In this pack there are: Punches, slaps, energy, hits, spells, destruction SFX, hitmarks, explosions SFX, impacts, sword attacks, whirlwinds, whooshes, unarmed combat SFX.

    Although they are anime sounds, they can be used in different styles of video games or other media projects.

    I hope you enjoy implementing this sounds in your project!

     

    Making-Off

    Check the making-off video

    All this sounds were originally recorded with a Zoom H6 (cardiod microphone), and were processed with the Logic Pro X sampler, Omnisphere and using plugins like PitchMonster. In this case, the recorded sound have been heavily changed, because anime sounds are not usually “realistic”.

     

    Some considerations

    1. Keep in mind this sounds can be used in a variety of situations, I put a name to the SFX but this doesn’t mean it can’t be used in other contexts.
