A common mistake beginning sound designers make - and I was certainly no exception to this, is using too many noisy source elements in the construction of their sound effects. Or not taming that noise adequately enough.

These are some of my favourite free plugins that I use daily as a freelance sound designer for video games.

Serum is widely known among the sound design and game audio community as a powerful software synthesizer. But maybe less known is the fact that it can also be used as an effect insert. 

I wanted to share a bit about my process of designing and implementing sounds for mobs in an Action Role Playing Game (ARPG) like Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem.
