What are Sound Effects?

Sound effects are those sensations produced in our ear caused by a vibration or movement. It can be water or air, and produced naturally or artificially. They are two types of sound effects: the effects applied to the sound (audio effects) and the sound effects themselves

The effects applied to the sound are intended to process the sounds and modify them. This means a sound can be adapted to a specific project, obtaining the ideal characteristics and a creating a special sound for a specific purpose. Today, these effects are applied digitally, which means we can have originality in our projects when song, sound and sound effects are used.

What are the different types of sound effects?

Here we leave a list of the main sound effect types. Each can be modified, within different parameters, to yeild different types of effects and results:

  • Dynamic Effects: Distortion, compressors, limiters ... These are effects that make our sound perfect within the overall mix of a song.
  • Space-Time Effects: Reverberation, Echo (Delay)… These are the most used effects in music.
  • Modulation effects: Flanger, Tremolo, Chorus, Phaser ...
  • Spectrum effects: Equalization and panorama changes are in this category.

Now that we have talked about effects applied to sounds, we must talk about sounds obtained from the environment. Whether created artificially, naturally, or recorded directly from nature or non- manipulated environments.
