Frequently asked questions
How do I create a victory sound effect?
Describe one precise event, its material or source, its scale and listener perspective. Generate several variations, then test the clearest option in the game.
How should I mix a victory sound effect?
Save longer victory cues for milestones that actually pause gameplay.
Which file format should I export?
Use WAV for a lossless master or further editing. Use OGG when a smaller game-ready asset is more important, and audition the compression in context.
