My pro theory songwriting course: Enroll in my Rhythm Training Course at ANY price! 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.
