You should do a series where you just have a picture of an Item/Object in a game you don't know and have to do guess work to how it sounds based purely on looks and then later compare your sound to the one in the game.

Its stupid how excited I get by a new Marshall McGee video. Watching it immediately on mobile. And with proper headphones on PC later. I LOVE your videos
you deserve more popularity then you have right now to be honest.
My unforgettable sound is the VATS sound. The distinct BEEP BEEP BEEP tells me i'm about to fuck some shit up.
My goodness I'm loving these videos! It's a such a build up for me I can barley wait to hear the end results!
This is easily the coolest channel that youtube has recommended to me in a long time. Please keep doing these videos! They're soo helpful for a film student like me trying to specialise in sound design. So many brilliant ideas.
The sounds for the orange portal always remind me of fresh apple juice for some reason. The 'splash' sound is what I love about this one.
Your channel honestly has so much good insight into the creative process beyond just sound design, it's great. I particularly liked the bit about getting solid samples so you can't just blame the sounds later, that idea can be applied elsewhere for sure. Thanks for the content.
Wow this is super awesome! replicating certain sounds really helps you understand how sounds are made in general. I got pretty satisfied with the results of making my own portal gun.. even though it doesn't sound even close to awesome original love your stuff man!
Love the new visuals! Thanks for keeping the show running!
Didn't expect it to sound so similar, good job :)

Great video as always. Honestly this is one of my favorite channels on youtube
Thanks for making this! I’m interested in game development but had no idea what I could do for sounds. But seeing u turn these everyday noises into sci fi is encouraging
I'll always remember the sound of falling down the facility in Portal 2 after weaking up GLaDOS. Very unique.
I really love videos on sound design. Great video!
this is incredible. not just because of what you did, but the insight you gave in this video alone... great work my friend.

I get sooo excited every time I see a new video pop up !!!

What a refreshing video. I though that there are no more interesting content creators on youtube. Congrats!
Marshall, i know you're a busy guy, but, please, post more videos! i love SO MUCH to watch your work. this channel is the reason i begin to work with sound design !
Wow, very cool. I never thought about some of these things, specially the comparison between visual art and sound design. It has expanded my mind a little to realize that audio designers DO have their own unique style, the same way a visual artist does. Kudos, compadre. .
This is such a good video, I love this style of content. Keep it up
Another excellent video, my dude.
There is this thing called "the killer queen noise" and i still think that is the coolest sound ever from, you guessed it, *_j o j o_*
I love your channel! It inspires me for my sound design, you also give usefull tips
This is legitimately some of the most interesting content on youtube :)
The most under-fucking-appreciated channel on KZread. Your videos have more quality, care, and skill than most channels with 5+ million subscribers. Bravo, my good sir. Keep up the fantastic work.
Wow, that's pretty close, well done!
I want expecting this to turn out as good as it did. Usually trying to recreate something so iconic leaves an uncanny feel but you made it sound really similar. Props
Spaceships, guns, guitars... dialogue. Lmao, that got me
To me, it sounds like a kick drum hit, but there's a loose piece on the drum's shell, and that gives a warbling kind of effect.
Damn notification bell that doesn't notificate me when your vids are out. I'm glad i came to see if you had new vids, they're great !
I really enjoy watching your videos! You should definetly try to post more often :)
Kelly Bailey is still one of my favorite sound designers and soundtrack composers, having done the all sounds music on Portal 1 and all of the Half-Life games to date (except the music in the Half-Life expansions made by Gearbox). He was excellent at all of the sound design that he did, a whole episode could be made on Bailey alone.
Loved this.
As someone who is passionate about sound design I shall subscribe to you
In the describing the sound, I sort of got like a deep wooden thud followed by a white noise oscillating sound without the high end. Also, when it comes to instantly recognizable sounds, welcome to Brawlhalla! comes to mind

Hey, thanks as always for the entertaining, thought-provoking content! That was awesome! It would be cool to see a recreation of that quintessential Inception horn-like BRAAAHMM sound. Perhaps a little in-your-face, but it would still be interesting to see how close you could get. Another interesting task might be to take the concept of time slowing down to a near stop, and then trying to create a sound to match that idea. I was looking for a JoJo clip as a reference, but all the examples are over compressed, and it's not as well-done of a sound as I remember.
Didn't know what i was getting into in the end i loved it
Love this
I thought this was a programming tutorial, still pleasently surprised.
One thing that I find super useful in sci-fi sounds is making a layer called "air" and have it just being white noise with a highpass around 10k-20khz. Then modulate the volume, panning and whatever to match the other layers. I find that really solidifies a lot of the sounds by adding some sizzle. But that's just what I'd do; I like sizzle. Looking at your air-conditioner-sound preferences, you seem to prefer warmer sounds, I'm the opposite. Awesome work!
“The last game you played sounded amazing” Me watching this after rage quitting minecraft
Almost all of Skyrim spell sounds are super unique and instantly recognizable as well. I consider that game to be one of the best in terms of memorable sound design. There's a video that interviews Mark Lampert and his process in making the sound of Skyrim. I use that for reference a lot.
To me the 'wiggly' part of the portal gun sounded like someone scribbling a pencil on a piece of paper!
Unforgettable sound - The ps1/ps2 startup screens.
Very interesting!!
I would love to hear more examples of you utilizing math in sound design
Damn that's pretty good
I would love to recreate "Shockwave" from the game INSIDE
What a friggin' genius.
Crash Bandicoot's whirlwind attack sound. Actually there's loads of iconic sounds from crash lol

That's really cool. I'd love to see you try to replicate more sounds. Orange portal sound, perhaps?
The enemy sounds from the first Doom games are iconic imo. I wanted to say that so are the sounds from the newer games, but honestly I think the sound design is so good all-around on them that nothing particularly stands out as iconic to me.
I would have loved a comparison at the end. Your work VS the original.
since I usually work with synthesis rather than with samples, I was thinking more like fm chirp (fast decay on pitch), lp'd kick + mid-freq impact, hp/bp'd noise fm chirps are super easy to do and they give a really crisp high-end that I think was a really good choice (if that was the original technique) as a short pre-transient for the portal gun
