Sound effects have become a popular commodity in recent times due to the proliferation of video. Therefore, it may be that sound designers and recording enthusiasts will want to assemble libraries of their sounds to take economic advantage of these valuable audio assets. The steps below will provide a general outline of the process involved in creating a sound effect library to distribute for profit as single online downloads.
1. Record a wide array of 48k sample rate ambiances and single hits using a digital mobile hand-held recorder.
2. Edit, normalize, filter, and eq these files in a digital audio workstation (DAW) to clean up the sounds and increase volume.
3. Mix distinct stereo .wav files at 48k 24bit sample rates if possible.
4. Assign each bounced file a SKU number containing 3 letters and 5 digits such as AAJ00001 Bird Chirp 1, AAJ00002 Rain1 and so on.
5. After creating the files build an excel sheet which lists categories, sub-categories, filenames, SKU numbers, keywords, descriptions, pricing, and time length.
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.
Shoot for creating a few thousand sound effects if you want to actually generate enough money to pay some sizable monthly bills. Find as many online outlets as possible through which to license your sounds. With a bit of determination, one can find a dozen or so online distributors willing to host and license your library.
