Space sim sound effects

Posted 4 weeks ago

Summary

I’m building a sci-fi space-simulation game and I need a focused bundle of original sound effects to bring the cockpit and combat to life. The feel is a realistic yet cinematic experience—think humming reactors, engines and boost, and punchy projectile weapon discharges rather than retro bleeps. Scope • Full sound list is attached - please quote for Group 1, Group 2 or all together • Ambient beds for a spaceship interior: reactor hums, control panel beeps, subtle air-filtration loops and the occasional hydraulic hiss. • Deep-space background layers: low-frequency cosmic rumbles, eerie tonal swells, solar-wind-style whooshes that can loop seamlessly. • Weapon effects: autocannon blasts, rail-gun launches, missile locks, shield impacts and explosive decompressions, designed to cut through the ambience without clipping. Technical requirements • 24-bit/96 kHz WAV masters, stereo. • Loops must be gap-free; one-shots trimmed and normalized to –1 dBFS. • Name and catalog each file clearly (e.g., amb_ship_hum_v1.wav”, “fx_laser_long_v2.wav”). Delivery & acceptance I’ll agree batches of loops and one-shots; once levels, tail lengths, and naming are consistent on the first set, we’ll sign off on the full set. Please include a short text file describing any layered sources or synths used so I can keep continuity for future updates. Any FMOD experience is useful and feel free to work in whatever DAW you prefer as long as the final exports meet the specs above. Looking forward to hearing your universe! Please note this is for a self-funded project so budget is very much on the lower side. Hoping to find someone who loves the genre, and can suggest ideas to avoid unnecessary work/cost, but welcome quotes, and also ideas to create a consistent high quality output.
