Hello guys.
Welcome to the video.
In this one I want to show you where to find audio for a game where you can find sound effects, where
you can find music.
And also I want to show you a place where you could edit the audio so it's suitable for video game.
And also it's additional bonus.
I want to show you an AI that can create a song from your description.
Before we begin, I want to say that I did make a very same video not too long ago for my.
Another course on how to make top down shooter and information is essentially the same, so I don't
see the point of recording this video again.
And that's why I'm just going to play that video and we're going to watch it together.
But information is relevant so no worries about that.
All right.
Let's begin.
So here's my browser.
And here we're going to get a bunch of links that will help us to look for audio.
I'm going to attach all of the links below.
You.
Just watch this video absorb the information, then check the links and then jump to next video.
So first and most obvious it's an asset store in unity.
Here, you just go to audio.
You can click music, sound effects or both.
And then you just look for whatever you need.
It is sound effects or music or whatever is matching your requirements.
Uh, you can click free assets if you don't want to pay for any and look for free assets here.
Whatever assets I'm going to take from the asset store, I'm going to attach link to the lecture so
you can get it yourself.
Don't worry about that.
But in general, I want to say there is lots of useful things here that we can take to our game.
Okay, so this is the first, uh, resource.
Then there is each.io that I showed you before.
It is also very useful.
You go to browse assets here.
You can choose free or if you don't mind to pay for any you can buy some.
I'm going to choose free.
And then you can choose sound effects or music and look for whatever you need.
All right.
These are two most useful resources.
Now let's jump to something less obvious.
Well, first of all, there is a brilliant.
I don't even know if it's a guy or a team.
I think it's a person.
Uh, Kenny, you just type here.
Kenny.
Dot nl assets.
Yeah.
And there is a bunch of assets, 3D assets, 2D assets, UI elements, so many of different things.
I think I should use some of these for one of my courses, maybe skate game or some, you know, casual
top down shooter or arena battle.
Why not?
Anyway, as of now we need audios and you can go here and click audio.
And there are lots of useful ideas even for our project, so you can use them as well.
Then we go to something even less obvious.
Another resource I like to use is.
upbeat.io.
So this website is brilliant.
You can use it for free.
You can use a subscription.
There are different options, even for free.
You can download songs and sound effects.
You can find lots of cool stuff here.
Uh, another site that I know about but I don't use it much is Pixabay.
Yeah.
Here you can find, um, music and sound effects as well.
For example, let's just type, uh, pistol here.
Um, wait.
We need.
Sound effects.
Show adult content.
It's okay.
So different songs can be used from this website as well.
Lots of them.
You can see lots of useful things you can find, I think.
Car engine.
Yeah.
I'll probably.
I'll use this one.
Why not I like it.
Let me try to download it.
Okay, so you can look for audio effects here or on this website as well as the music.
Another website that you can use is called um, let me check.
I forgot the band sound.
Yes.
Band sound.com.
So here you can find lots of free music which can be used for your games.
Different options here and you can download them for free.
Regarding the license, you have to check for each song.
You know, it's always depends on something and I'm not quite sure how it works with licensing.
So that is three websites that you can use to get your music or sound effects.
And something else you can use obviously, is Google.
You can just search for sound effects.
There are plenty links.
Some of them pay, some of them not.
You know, we have to be tricky and find those that are not paid most of the time, especially if it's
not a big commercial project.
But if you need some nice asset back, you probably can find most of the things you need in the asset
store.
They usually cost not that much.
Maybe price of a dinner or a pizza.
So I think we can sacrifice that for the sake of a game development if you need.
Well, some of them is quite expensive, we can see, but we can find something nice here if you need,
uh, another advice here is to cut the audio.
So whenever you find an audio effect, it is not always ready for video games.
So if you get the audio from asset pack on Kenny itch.io asset store, they usually ready to be used
for video game.
But let's say if you get it here, let me search for a pistol sound.
Soundeffect.
Um, even these you can see it is good one, probably, but it doesn't start here immediately.
There is a bit of a silence bit before the audio starts, and that means that even if you would trigger
audio immediately in unity, it would have a bit of a delay and we would see shot first, and then we
would hear audio after that, which is not what we really need.
So for that, I suggest to cut audios before you put them into unity.
You can use different software Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas, whatever you like.
Also, I can suggest one website for that.
It is very useful.
Mostly I use this website if I just need to cut uh, the audio, because using Premiere Pro for cutting
the audio feels like an overkill for me.
So it's a.
A three cut dot net.
Yeah.
And here you can add an audio.
Let me just for example download that one.
So you download in the audio.
Then you go into this website you drag an audio in.
And you just remove the silence.
And if this audio is quiet, you can boost the volume over here.
Yeah.
And then you just save it with the name that you need and use it in your video game.
All right.
So that's what you can do.
Another very cool website that you can use is called sono I, so I don't know when it came out, I don't
know if it's going to be, uh, available later on, like maybe after 1 or 2 years, I hope.
So.
This website can be used to make a song.
I try different things.
It is very cool.
And I'm going to use one of these in my video game.
Although I'm not going to give this song to you, the one that I'm going to use for one simple reason.
I hope you can forgive me because I don't know again how it works here if I can distribute these songs.
But the song itself, I like it very much.
We're riding through the sand in the wild, wild West.
So in here you can just click create like my song description and it will generate a song for you.
Very cool service that you can use.
And that's probably all of the info that I would give you right now.
They should be more than enough to set up your game and fill it with audio effects and music.
And now we can go to next video.
I'll see you there.
