Effective layering in sound design and layering sounds in music production is about finding complementary sounds that work together to create a cohesive result. The best producers understand that great layering involves contrasting sounds that combine the best of different elements to create something truly unique. Longstoryshort exemplifies this in his latest IN MY MIND EP which you can listen to below as we work our way through the interview, following an international tour.

In this webinar hosted by sound designer Giorgio Vezzini (Baldur’s Gate 3), and composer Michael Worth (Rush Hour 3), we will create laser weapon sounds in a few different genres – Sci-fi, Retro, and JRPG – showing you how to build a sound pallet for your game that reflects the world you're immersed in.” https://thinkspace.ac.uk/free-sound-design-webinar/ -
Does anyone else follow 343 Labs' YouTube channel ? The content is soooo good ! ⭐ https://www.youtube.com/@343labs John Selway (a significant figure in the Techno scene) creates some amazing videos on how to produce & mix various genres (Techno, Electro), DAWs (e.g. Ableton Live) also tutorials about sound design - he's a fountain of knowledge, I've included a few of his videos below. He also does regular live streams (e.g. Selway's Techno Saturdays) where he reviews peoples' music production and gives pointers as to where a track can be improved or arranged better, so good ! He also has other top producers on as guests, for example Christian Smith 😁 John isn't the only tutor / instructor at 343 Labs - there are loads of others, honestly such a good channel - I wish I had found it years ago ! I've created a list of all the best music production YouTube channels I follow here, on my blog https://jamesm.blog/music-production/youtube-channels/ If anyone knows of any other music production channels not on this list please let me know or reply to this topic, I'm always on the lookout for new tutorials, cheers YouTube Videos
