This video taught me more of how to use Audacity in four minutes than a one hour tutorial video.
You just recreated the ender dragon roar lol.

There's a simple trick to avoid such issues like at 9:00 : Just click Z on your keyboard (shortcut for "Find Zero Crosssings") each time after you have selected a part of your track with the selection tool. It automatically moves the start- and end-position of your selection to correct positions and you will never have problems with cracking or plopping sounds anymore ;-)
wow, perfect timing! I just wondering how to create my sound effects to my mobile game.. Thanks, saved my life AGAIN!

Totally going to make 1,2,3 1,2,3 bla bla bla bla blaaa..... my new notification sound. On a serious note this was a very informative (and entertaining) tutorial on making sound. Also it showed you can make decent sounds without buying any fancy equipment. Love how you put so much effort to make sure all the effects in paid software can be found in Audacity. Huge THANKS Jonas

As someone just getting into sound design, this video was extremely helpful!!! Thanks for making it!
this was amazing, I've gone from "I have no idea how to do this and no interest in learning" to "Holy shit I must do this, it looks so fun!"
It's nice too see your channel growing, I guess effort pays off.

I think no channel has helped me with making a Game as much as yours Jonas :) keep it up
This is super informational. You’re officially one of my favorite KZread channels
The juicy sound effects and particles in the game you made, is very noticeably elevating the game to a whole other level!
The best sound design tutorial I've ever seen. Oozing with practical tips for use right away.
Thank you! This is easily the best tutorial for easy SFX for games, it's fun and informative!
This is such a great tutorial, I’ve been overwhelmed each time I search stuff in sound design, but seeing how you don’t need to mess with too many effects and then all the rest you explained made it much more comfortable to dive in into creating sounds!!
Interesting... Great as always Jonas ;)

In under 17 minuts I learned how to use Audacity as it was paint & how to play with sounds in all tools ect. BEST TOTURIAL EVER! Thank you!
Thanks to this I had overcome my fear of sucking at sound design and managed to create all the sound effects my game jam game needed, on time. Thank you so much.
Dude, thank you sooo much, this was way too fun, wish you all the best 😄
thank you jonas this was very helpful
I love how this video is lightning fast to the point
That was fun to watch. Thanks and God bless you both! 😊🙏🏻❤
dude i was searching for a tutorial like this forever! thanks guys
This whole video made me laugh enough that it made my day. Also, thanks for the tutorial, I needed this
Yes please! There's not enough content on YT for sound design for video games. Thanks!
ha, that way to pan the sounds to the left and right is cool! thank you very much, Jonas and Ryan!
This is an awesome dirt cheap way to do it, definitely will help me out in my game THANK YOU!
After you get the noise profile you can just select the whole track by double clicking it and hit CTRL + R Quicker than opening the window back up.
3 years later and still super helpful... thanks!😁
this was actually pretty incredible, awesome video, i enjoyed every second!
Thank you for such a comprehesive tutorial
That was hella funny and educational as well especially with these sounds xD
Awesome. Just awesome video. Thanks.
This was an awesome tutorial! Thanks for this!
Amazing video and great tips! I'm gonna watch more
Creating sound effects myself is something I haven't had any experience with yet, this video taught me a lot of new things :) I also loved how you explained all effects and concepts alongside with audacity after they were shown in Reaper
Wow, you just make a content with tutorial, what a great combination!
When he started making wind howls with the bike, my jaw dropped
glad you made this fun lol
The cool thing about Reaper is that you can load in virtual instruments and you can find free ones that already have some free sound effects. But basically you should be able to that with any DAW
Just what I was looking for!

Thanks jonas. Great tut
I love these fast tutorials!
sound design is an art form of its own
Great video, very informative!
I love the way u explain it!
This is great!
Absolutely beautiful video!
In walking if u take pitch of the sound as a randome number and then use it with sound with every step, it can also give you some good results.
Thanks! Helped me a lot 👍
Awesomeee tutorial !!! Thanks a lot
Awesome ! Thank you !
This is gamedev resource gold thx
I once needed some “plopp” sounds for something. Instead of searching them online I just made them with my mouth and cropped them to fit my needs. I wish Audacity would not be so utterly broken on Arch Linux using Pulse Audio.
This is great thanks guys !!
Using your own music or sound effects were a way better than using sounds you searched
basically, now its a pretty fun game... thanks, super useful as always!
Thanks man
Thenx for the tips now I have i small how to make sound for my game
Awesome stuff
Looks... Sorry SOUNDS amazing!
Fantastic video!
I love playing around in foley! Thanks Jonas. If anyone heres uses Unreal, learn about sound cues. You can use them to make very unique sounds from the same files. Ie. change tempo of a song, modulate pitch to make an foot step slightly different ect.
Awesome !
This video is great.
Thanks for the tutorial. As a one man developer I struggle with sound and graphics creation too. Maybe the next tutorial should be 'How to make graphics for games' :). Keep up the good work mate

To remove noise from silent areas i usually just highlight and use amplify but adjust it to the far left for a negative amplification.
wow Awesome 😃 You Are Great
You can also use a dog clicker and record all your sounds in one go. Just pop the clicker in between and it will create a noticeable spike in the wave form to mark or delimit the distinction where your sounds can be found and split them from there to multiple tracks, etc. Btw I love watching your vids, you have s great personality and helps me stay sane when I feel like I'm not going anywhere as a dev lol gives me new ways to approach my dev and design
