This video is a basic tutorial on how to make dark and scary sounds- for ambience, sound design, composition, production, beats, whatever! It's scary audio, and it's surprisingly easy to make with just two techniques: reversing things, and slowing them down. Throughout this video, I demonstrate several concepts of how to combine these techniques and where you may have heard them before.

That âbrush your teethâ sample sounds almost exactly like the Darkest Dungeon voice. Great explanation.

It's interesting how similar psychedelic and spooky are...
As a psychedelic musician, I use a lot of these techniques!

Bro, I was just marking a score for my short horror movie a week ago, this would have been useful. Your old video was quite useful as well

finally someone who understands DARK AMBIENT

I've been doing stuff like backmasking and reverse reverb since my teenage years learning music. It's magical what effects you can create with just those few tricks.

You just gave me a ton of inspiration for the horror score I'm working on currently. I think it's amazing how some simple techniques can turn a normal recording into something frightening and unpredictable. Thank you for sharing these things with us!

1:32 THAT'S ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!

I was definitely expecting some more synth design type of stuff, but that tip at 4:00 was definitely worth the watch

I've spent the last year making audio for Noir Nocturne, a VRchat Spookality world. It's got about an hour playtime so far and I've produced probably 90% of the world audio and music. I used every method in this video. For stretching the audio, I some times used Logic's "Flex time Telephone FX" on short transients like drums, clicks or pops. By stretching this short audio into maybe 10 sec I got this metallic, robotic kind of growl. Add some reverb and BOOM I had a sound for one of the enemies.
The one thing I would add to your list of tricks is about EQ. In a lot of my environmental ambience I added a low frequency rumble with maybe some slow stereo modulation, something almost below human hearing. This could be white noise or a sine wave. Really anything with low end information. Then I really boosted the lows on my EQ for an in your head binaural kind of feeling. Because this is a VR experience I knew everyone playing it would be wearing headphones so I could get away with some more radical stereo widths. This trick works better for games or film as having a low rumble through your whole song would just muddy everything up.

Augmented chord but change the 3rd for scary and change the 5th for James Bond.

That "Brush your teeth" segment were you used backwards reverb on forward speech reminded me of Lord Of The Rings when they put them on.

Are you going to make more content?
Please!đđ˝

This is really great. I watch all of your videos and my favorite is the video where you taught about the creepy chords. And now this.. amazing.. great job Jake.

That Picard picture at the bottom got me laughing to tears. :D

Wow, what an eye opening video, thank you so much!

Great artists, from Bach to Debussy, Stravinsky and beyond, would be nothing without their teachers. Thank you.
