Скачать или смотреть Footstep Sound Design in Foley: How I Record Realistic Wood Floor Steps

Ever wondered how to make a scene feel truly unique just through sound? In this video, I take you into one of my real Foley sessions, where I’m replacing footstep sounds for a new room in an American feature film. I walk you through my thinking, the technical setup, and how I refine the recording until it perfectly fits the scene.

Even though I’m working in a professional studio, I still use the same modular techniques I developed years ago for my home setup — and you can do the same. If you want to learn how to build your own Foley system and develop your ear for detail, this one’s for you.

🔊 In this episode, you’ll discover:
✅ How to record variations of wood floor footsteps
✅ Why mic positioning and layering surfaces matter a lot
✅ How to reduce unwanted resonance in your recordings
✅ Tips on dealing with room hum and noise floor
✅ A modular setup that works for both studio and home Foley
