AI Game Sound Effects Generator

Tali: Wait, did you hear that? My footsteps! My sword! Oh, I have sound now, and it is wonderful!

Every one of those sounds, and her voice, came from a text description in Ludo's Audio Generator, so here's how to write one that comes out right.

In the Audio Generator, set Generation Mode to Sound Effects, then the whole job is the Description.

Our footsteps prompt has five parts, first the source, light leather boots, then the material, mossy stone slabs, then the action, running, quick even footsteps,

then the space, outdoors, close and dry, and last the length, which is the Duration slider, with Loop on because running repeats.

Generate, and it drops straight under her run.

Change one part and the sound changes, on soft grass the same prompt came back much quieter and softer in our run, so material is worth a word.

Tali: Stone! I knew it was stone. Now the sword, do the sword next!

Vague prompts miss, we typed just sword and got a blade ringing, not a swing, and our prompt never said what the sword was doing.

The full description names the action and the space, a quick steel sword swing with an airy whoosh, outdoors, close, and no impact.

Order matters too, the jump prompt asks for a cloth whoosh on takeoff, then a landing thump on stone, two events in one file.

The coin asks for one sparkly two-note chime, and the spell for a soft rising shimmer with crackling violet sparks.

Same description again gives a different take, our coin was one note, then Try Again and Generate gave us two notes.

For a variation of a sound you like, Remix on its card opens Audio Remix with it as the sample. Describe the change, and ours came back heavier and darker.

For the level's bed, Ambiance Loops, describe the place and the time of day, breeze through leaves, distant songbirds, faint insects, and say no music.

Loop is on by default here, so it repeats without a seam, and the Duration we set came back exactly, ten seconds.

Then Music for the same scene, described by genre, instruments and tempo, all in the prompt on screen.

Tali: Oh. Oh, there's music now? Okay. This is my favorite level.

Now the full mix, and since our effects came back at very different loudness, level them in your engine or editor first.

Her voice works the same way, Human Voice designs one from a description, and Use as Reference on the result opens Speech (Clone) to read new lines in it.

So that's the whole soundscape from text, every prompt is in the pinned comment, and Ludo is at ludo.ai.

Tali: Your game's too quiet, I can hear it from here. Start free at ludo.ai, and give it a sound!
