FF14 Ice Drop Ability Redesign

I have to admit, this is my first time doing an ice ability. On stop of doing anime-like sounds I wasn’t sure how this would turn out. But I think I’m getting better! I learned my lesson from the FF14 Card Redesign in adding too many layers to anime-ish sounds. from doing these sounds, I’ve learned that there is a balance between enough layers to give it character, and too many that it starts sounding very flat very fast.

incase you didn’t read my post on the card redesign, I used the same processing chain as that redesign. Basically, I take a source that already similar to what I’m going for, run it through a reverb, then using a frequency shifter. I then modulate the frequency shifter with an LFO or envelope to give it its character.

for this project, I used that processing along with sounds of various glass samples. Some being broken glass, Wine glass “Clink”s and that thing to do going around the rim of a wine glass to make it sing.

I’ve also worked on being more organized in my sound design as a personal goal with this redesign. (hopefully that’ll be evident in the screenshot)

Thank you for reading!
