As a result, many sound designers may find it worthwhile to build a sound effects library from their recordings in order to make extra money. The following tips give an overview of the steps involved in making a useful library to sell online. 1. Using a mobile hand-held digital recorder, record a huge variety of 48k sample rate single hits and ambiances of all possible types.

2. Edit, normalize, filter, and eq these files in a digital audio workstation (DAW) to clean up the sounds and increase volume.

3. Bounce down these edited distinct sound effects into single .wav products as stereo files at a 48k 24bit sample rate if possible.

4. 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.

5. Think about creating multiple formats of the .wav files such as .aiffs for Mac users and .mp3s for use online, though ensure that all .mp3s are 44.1k.

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.
