As the use and creation of video has exploded over the past several years, so has the demand for sound effects. Therefore, many folks who have recordings or sound design experience may want to put together sound effects libraries of their material which can be licensed for money. Below you will find a broad outline of the process for creating a profitable sound effects library.
1. Record a wide array of 48k sample rate ambiances and single hits using a digital mobile hand-held recorder.
2. Import this raw audio into a digital audio workstation (DAW) and edit, using eq, filters, and normalization, to take out noise and maximize sonic impact.
3. Bounce down these edited distinct sound effects into single .wav products as stereo files at a 48k 24bit sample rate if possible.
4. Name each file as you mix them down with three-letter, five-digit, SKU numbers such as SFX00001 CarHonk1, SFX00002 CatMeow2, etc.
5. Create a master excel sheet of all your products that includes SKU number, file name, categories and sub-categories, time length, pricing, descriptions, and keywords.
6. Make different formats for all the files such as .mp3s based on 44.1k sample rate for web use and .aiffs for people who use Macs.
In order to earn several hundred dollars or more per month make sure to create several thousand sound effects. Seek out as many online stores as possible who are willing to license your library online. With a few emails, you should be able to access 10 or more online shops who are ready to market and license your sounds.
