Sound Design Toolkit
Last (but definitely not least) this week is a set of inspiring foley sounds, glitchy electronics, and other samples from 99Sounds and musician/sound designer Gavin Thibodeau aka Embra.
In an interview with 99Sounds explaining the process behind this pack, Gavin reveals how tools such as Live factor into his work: 'I guess my favorite thing about Ableton Live is its rack capabilities.
