Why use custom SFX instead of a stock library?

Library sounds are used by thousands of other projects. A custom sound is designed specifically for your use case and has a consistency with your other audio that stock sounds rarely achieve. Custom also means you own it outright.

What types of sound effects do you design?

UI sounds, notification tones, transition effects, impacts, rises, drones, ambient textures, Foley, game sounds, and branded audio interactions. If it's a non-music audio element, it's likely something we can design.

How long does it take to design custom SFX?

A small set of 5–10 sounds typically takes 3–5 days from brief to delivery. Larger projects with 50+ sounds are quoted with a longer timeline. We'll confirm at the start of the project.

What formats do you deliver in?

We deliver in WAV 24-bit for production use, and can convert to MP3, AAC, OGG, or any other format your deployment pipeline requires. Stereo or mono as specified.

Do I own the sounds you design for me?

Yes. All custom-designed SFX are licensed exclusively to you. You own the rights to use them in any project, commercial or otherwise.

Can you match the style of existing sounds in my project?

Yes. Send reference sounds and we'll design new ones that sit tonally and stylistically alongside your existing library.

What information do I need to provide for a brief?

Describe what the sound should represent, how it should feel, the context it'll be heard in, and any reference sounds or tracks that capture the mood. That's enough to start. The more specific the brief, the fewer revision rounds are typically needed.

What Custom SFX Design Involves

Custom sound effects are designed from scratch rather than licensed from a library. Library sounds are useful for speed, but they're used by thousands of other projects — a custom-designed sound is unique to your work and often more precise in what it does. When you describe the feeling a sound should evoke or the action it should represent, we build something that fits exactly.

At StudioToGo, SFX are created using a combination of methods: synthesis (using the Moog One and Serum to build tones from the ground up), Foley (recording real physical sounds in the studio — materials, surfaces, mechanisms), field recordings where applicable, and layered processing using iZotope, FabFilter, and Soundtoys to shape the final character of the sound.

Types of SFX We Design

We produce UI and interface sounds for apps and software, transition effects for video content (whooshes, sweeps, impacts), environmental textures and drones, notification and alert tones, cinematic risers and hits, branded interaction sounds, and character or game sound effects. The scope is broad — if it's a non-music audio element, it likely falls under SFX design.

Delivery

SFX are delivered in the format and sample rate your project requires — WAV 24-bit for broadcast and production, MP3 or AAC for web and app deployment, stereo or mono depending on use. We can also deliver with metadata embedded if required by your pipeline.
