Designing Sounds that Move explores practical, musical techniques that make drums bounce, basslines evolve, and synths shift organically over time. If your productions feel static or lack energy, this video course by sound design guru Thomas Cochran will show you how to inject life, movement, and groove into your sounds. Whether you produce electronic music, pop, or hybrid genres, you’ll learn how small modulation choices can dramatically improve the flow and excitement of your tracks. These videos are designed for those new to the topic of sound design. Through many focused lessons, Thomas demonstrates methods for shaping movement with drum layering, pitch variation, tremolo effects, velocity-based modulation, randomness generators, macro automation, side-chain tricks, and more. You’ll see how these techniques apply not just to individual sounds, but to the overall rhythmic and emotional pulse of your production.
