How To Create Movement In Your Ambiences & Room Tones (3:13)

Listen for tips and tricks on how to create eerie environments for your own game or video productions. In this video, he shows how making a subtle change to a room tone can give the feeling of motion. He chose to add a light phaser to a track in order to give it an almost imperceivable change. He also hard panned this track to the right. This was in order to make way for another layer of room tones. These are the best ways to get Creepy Game SFX & How to Create Eerie Ambient SFX.

Here, using a varying room tone and a different modulation plug-in creates a sense of uneasiness and suspense. Especially for the user without being too overbearing. After hard-panning this room tone to the left, he runs it through a vibrato plug-in. Perfect for adding a sense of pulsing and eerie movement.
